Its proximity to the Akihabara station, Akihabara electronic market and other train stations including the ones that go straight to Asakusa and Shibuya. They also offer hotel to airport bag drop services through Airporter. Which is handy in case you have heavy bags. Also, lots of food and electronic stores nearby.

THE LIFTS. This entire 14 storey hotel had 1 lift. So during the Peak check out and Check In times you sometimes have to stand for 10 to 15 minutes to go to the ground floor. Also, there are NO stairs to take in case you don't want the lift. Noisy as well. There is a bridge and a main road next to the hotel. So throughout the day and night there is a lot of car and road noise. Also drunk people will sometimes wake you up in the middle of the might with loud noise.

I think the thing I miss the most is the automatically heated toilet seat. As soon as your bottom hits the seat, it feels the warmth, and it's heavenly. But this is coming from an American who is too used to using a freezing cold toilet seat -- I'm sure the heated seat is standard in Asia. Almost everyday, there were fresh towels in a bag hanging onto our room's doorknob. Inside the bag, there were also fresh yukata, hand towels, and other amenities. Despite how compact the room was, I'd say I can store underneath the bed three big unexpanded suitcases. The neighborhood was quiet, and there are ample restaurants in the area. There's even a 7-11 three minutes walking distance. Although the hotel does not have washers/dryers, there's a laundromat that is walking distance as well. Most importantly of all -- and I say this as a predominantly English speaker -- the staff spoke English such that they were able to understand and respond to what my boyfriend and I were asking/saying. The staff were kind and patient, so please, if you are speaking English to them, be patient and kind to them as well. Don't be that rude, entitled tourist/non-Japanese citizen.

Everyone complains that the rooms are small but I think they forget this is Tokyo, Japan. The rooms are perfectly clean with everything you could need. Good size bed (my partner is 6ft8 and yes his feel touched the other wall but we still made it work.) There is good storage under the bed for 2 large suitcases and other room for smaller bags. They had a vanity style area and very large TV attached to the wall which was great. The location was genuinely amazing!! So close to metro stations but also very walkable to Skytree and Senso-Ji Temple if you enjoy the walk. The staff were very accommodating and polite. English is spoken however using translate is also an option. They are very understanding. They have a very small selection of drinks and snacks available for purchase on the ground floor.

It’s true that the lifts can be busy during peak times. During check out time we had to wait 10 minutes (no problem to us but maybe for others) there is only one lift for the premises so keep this in mind.

- Room had a shoehorn and space under the bed to put luggage in. It also had a universal power outlet that is earthed, so I could plug my laptop and have be it charged efficiently. - Reasonable price to replace lost room cards. Staff were always happy to help and would send advance notices of elevator maintenance hours so I could have time to plan outings around it. - Drinks and snacks could be bought from level one, indoors, so I didn't have to go out to the convenience store late at night or when it was raining.

Room cleaning being mandatory to be scheduled every third day was sometimes inconvenient. Some of those 3rd days I wanted to rest in my room without disturbances. There were other days (every 2nd or 4th day) that I would rather request the room to be cleaned, instead of every strict 3rd, because I would be away. But maybe that was something I could've communicated with the staff at the start of my stay.

Can't go wrong with APA hotels for a quick place to rest. Services and shopping offers are improving with time. Sufficent amenities(toothbrush, combs, razor), clean beds and toilet. Single room is ideal for single person, unless you are small sized, e.g Asian size, squeezing 2 people in a room is highly not recommended but otherwise single person has enough space. Great selection of in-room services and entertainment such as free VOD and massage services. Close to Akihabara and some convenient stores.

Not ideal cleanliness, occasionally the cleaners may leave behind a rubbish or 2. Some rooms with bits of dust and hair missed from cleaning, suggest to not leave clean items on the carpet floor. Wear the room slippers if you feel uncomfortable.

Easy to see from the sidewalk, elevator right by the entryway, not too far from Akihabara Station. Ground floor has a minimart selection of snacks as well as a microwave. Private bathroom with bathtub. Room light switches/dials on the headboard. Mini fridge under the desk. It was nice but I felt awkward when I realized that room service would fix my bed each day 😅

The TV automatically turns on about 3 minutes after using the key card to activate the electricity. The TV could be quiet loud with some ads much louder than others. The room was quite warm in February, I couldn't turn the heat down any lower and had to crack open the window to cool off at night (I like to sleep around 58°F) It wasn't a big issue for my stay, but the power to some electric sockets did shut off when the key card was removed. So something to be aware of.

Good location - equidistant from both Akiharaba and Suehirocho stations, providing access to more lines. All amenities in the room, so no need to visit the reception area. Lobby had a small convenience store if needed, but there were also local konbinis a short walk away. The room was also quite spacious - easy to store suitcases under the bed, good desk and chair.

The hotel doesn't have laundry or breakfast facilities. I've never enjoyed APA's pillows, but I knew that when I booked.

Comfy and had most basis amenities, own shower and bathtub, albeit small, almost daily replenishment of everyday items and changing of towels. Other features like bedside USB charge ports, a universal plug point on the dressing table, hair dryer, kettle, drinkable tap water, nice big tv, bed room slippers, large luggage space under the bed. Mini snack shelf, an ice machine and microwave on the lobby floor for some basic convenience. My room had a decent view to the Tokyo Skytree, that's a plus. Super near to Akiba, along the way there was even a Tamiya and Super Gun shop. Ideal location if your goal is to geek out in Akiba.

Bed was just barely big enough for 2 people and if you of size then unlikely to fit. While tap water was drinkable but I personally couldn't handle the taste and upset my stomach so best to boil or buy at a store.

The check-in/out process was really easy, which was useful as I checked out very early at 6am to make my way to the airport. The bed was really comfortable and the window meant the room felt more spacious than it was! The price-point was appropriate and it does what it says on the tin - provides an affordable, comfortable place to stay with a hot shower in Tokyo, it works for both business travel as well as solo/couples who are going to be spending most of the day out.

The property was clean for the most part, but I think perhaps some of the surfaces were a little old and stained in the bathroom. It wasn't particularly disturbing or unsightly though!

Great location, great room equipment, has everything you would need. With the universal power socket there's not even a need to use power adapters. Has a fridge, hair dryer, even toothbrush, toothpaste and a shaver is provided. A new supply of towels and necessities is brought every morning. The room was very clean, too, and was regularly cleaned. The TV even displayed the WiFi information and cleaning dates.

The pillows were a bit harder than what I'm used to in Europe, but still okay. The nearby coin laundry is more convenient to use for regular clothes than the hotel's laundry service since it's faster, cheaper and accepts underwear.
