Good location close to the station, APA Hotels are comfortable and nice. The attention was good as well. This Location in particular has an Onsen type of bath on the second floor, which sounds amazing, sadly I couldn't try it this one time, but it was one of the reasons I booked it in the first place. I had an amazing view from my window. Note that you'll hear the train and the announcement of the station, I'm very sensitive to noise, but this didn't make me uncomfortable in the slightest being on the 10th Floor. I would recommend this APA hotel!

There were some white stains on the decoration cloth that is on top of the bed. Beside that nothing else I can complain of

The hotel is in a very convenient location beside the train station and close to shops/restaurants. We loved having the Onsen in the hotel and it was not crowded during our 4 day stay.

We already knew that the room size would be small, so I'm not saying that I didn't like it but if there was anything to improve on in the hotel it would be to have more space in the room. Having said that I do appreciate that we were getting very good value for money at this hotel so the room size was a good compromise for that. :-)

Its about 2 minutes away from the train station, so there is many food available. The hotel has only 10 over parking lots, staff was very kind enough to share all the nearby parking before hand which was extremely helpful. The tap water is delicious haha, its tasted even nicer than the bottle provided! The bath was big enough as well, even though there was many people but it felt comfortable. Love the bed and the pillows, always have neck issues but its actually quite good, thought of purchasing it online! Check in and out was extremely smooth.

I find that the temperature of the bath was slightly too hot, maybe could lower 1-2 degrees? The hairdryer in the hot bath can be improved, there is only 1 hair dryer which was good.

The hotel is well located and very close to the railway station by walk less than 5 minutes. Very convenient if you need to take train to other areas to commute. The onsen in the hotel is superb with long open time that can help relax my body after a whole day visit in the city. The room facilities are very comprehensive. The bed and pillow are very comfortable.

Similar to other Japan hotel, the room size is quite small. There is no separate area to place the suitcase. When I open the suitcase to get some items, it occupies most walking area in the room. See if the room layout can be improved to place the suitcase easily.

I have stayed here twice now, and the staff have been very accommodating at every turn. You can update the number of people in your room until midnight, and they made it very easy to ask for a late checkout (you can select a button on the TV in your room to extend by 1-3 hours). Everything is very clean and feels new. The TV in the room is huge! The room is small, but the bed is lofted so you can put your luggage underneath. It makes the room feel a bit bigger. The bath isn’t particularly fancy, but it’s comfortable. I like to be able to check the crowd level from my hotel room before I go bathe, and it’s nice to go there in the yukata provided by the hotel. The location is great if you are going to travel by local train the next morning, as it is directly next to Takaoka station. There are also a lot of nice bars and restaurants within walking distance.

I think this is standard in Japan, so it isn’t a huge negative, but if you book the room as 1 guest and want to add an extra guest, the fee is ¥4000, which feels expensive. In the US, it was common to be able to rent a room with a queen bed for 1 or 2 people for the same price. It is quite far from the shinkansen station.

It was built fairly recently, so everything is new and clean. The bed is particularly comfortable, and it is raised off the floor so that you can put your luggage underneath it. This is really nice and saves a lot of space in the small room. The TV in the room is big and has a nice picture, and you can easily watch YouTube via “screen mirroring” with your phone. They also provided new towels and yukata everyday, even if I declined the cleaning service. It was nice. The staff were very kind and friendly, and they helped me make changes to my reservation (aka add an extra person) even as late as 11:30pm. The breakfast staff graciously let me enter the restaurant just 8 minutes before last order. Finally, the big bath and especially the outdoor bath felt very nice in this season. It was convenient that you can see how crowded the bath is by checking the TV in your room before you go there.

I understand that this is common practice for many hotels in Japan, but be aware that you pay per person, NOT per room. My friend missed the last train, and I offered to let him stay with me. I was disappointed to have to pay ¥4,400 more to add an extra occupant to the room, even though they didn’t have time to use any of the facilities. I thought it was a little expensive. The room is kind of narrow, but it’s a normal size compared to other hotels in Japan, so I can’t complain too much.

We got a room on their top floor and the view was amazing. The room is small but has everything you need for a night away. The TV aimed right at our bed was honestly great for watching a movie and falling asleep. The hotel is right next to the station, so easy accessible.

Doors of your neighbors and people talking in the hallway are quite noisy. The bathroom is very small (have seen some bigger in other hotels). Small things, but still quite noticeable for some people.

I stayed here for a couple nights en route to a more rural part of Japan and I was very comfortable here. The hotel is clean and only steps away from the train station, which was excellent. The only thing I didn't love was hearing my neighbors, as the walls seemed rather thin. Nothing disruptive but was just different than the other places I stayed in Japan. Overall a real bang for your buck though!

We hated the sensory overload in the room. The TV was too big, and turned on with advertising every time we walked into the room. Advertising, books and magazine by the founder, etc., all were unwelcome in a space purposed for quiet and relaxation. It was our only complaint; otherwise, everything was fine. But it was a big negative.

Spotless as I would expect of an APA. Provided me with a plug converter to use North American electronics where the cord has a ground prong. Nice to have an onsen on site.

The trains run just outside and the noise could bother some people.
