Hotel is in great position close to public transport and Asakusa also on the Sumida River which is good for a long stroll along the river path. Nice to have a soak in the spa after long walks around Tokyo. The #42 bus stops right outside the front door giving quick, cheap travel to Tokyo Station and others along the route. Return stop is only about 100 meters (maybe less) on other side of the street.

I had no real problems with hotel or staff overall. However, it was difficult to explain that I wanted to place travel documents and some other items in a security packet. It seems most of the staff had no idea that they had the facility. I had stayed in this same property at 31st March and had the same problem. Many hotels now have small safes in rooms this one doesn't. I wasn't upset about this and for my part I regarded it as a "training" exercise for the staff involved. But despite the language problems it's hard for me to accept that they are not trained to deal with this request.

Typical APA hotel room nothing bad or exceeded my expectation. Fresh daily towels and cleaning of the room every 3 days. Good location between train stations. 10min wall from the shrine and busy Asakusa streets. Cute cafes around. I would, however, stay again as it's really for sleeping and showering.

The lifts totally suck and they are so slow, especially during peak times. You can be waiting 10 minutes for a free lift. The check in machines are ok but pointless when staff members still need to check passports etc Only 1 washing machine and 1 dryer for the entire hotel on a first come basis. That's fine, unless someone hog's the dryer.

APA hotels are brilliant and this one is the most comfortable yet affordable of them all. Soft beds, all lights switchable from the bed, small but well organized room, big desk, lots of sockets for work. Warm yet ventilated. rooms have air cleaners and humidifiers, kettle and small fridge. Two different kinds of shoes and spa-kimono. You get new towels, green tea, and bathroom utensils daily (brushes, toothbrush and toothpaste, hairbands, razors, etc.). This hotel also has the best public spa on the 12th floor which is small but with an awesome view to the Skytree and lit up bridges over Sumida river. The spa has two pools, indoor and smaller outdoor, super warm water circa 41-43 degrees celsius, 3 wash stations, and a standing shower. The hotel is close to Senso-ji temple complex and the Skytree. There is a direct train Skyaccess to the Narita airport, it’s a little slower than the Skyliner, but 2x cheaper.

Most rooms lack the view. Bathrooms have a weird bleach smell. Public bath is small and pretty chlorinated. There is only one washing machine and one dried for the entire hotel. The waiting time for the elevator is quite long when hotel is busy.

Service was amazing. After a couple of nights in a room with musty sheets and next to the elevator with people talking and waking me up a few times a night, I asked to be moved. Not only did they move me, but the room was ready right then and gave me a room on the 12th floor - very convenient to the amenities. First room and women's bath had a beautiful view of the river and Tokyo Skytree. The bath was great and rarely very busy. Room was very clean. Very convenient between 2 metro stations and a bus stop right out the front door.

First room had musty smelling sheets and while the walls are well sound-proofed, the doors are not. Also sad to hear of the owner's troubling controversies - would be the biggest deterent of staying again.

My boyfriend and I only stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, but we can definitely say that it was an incredible experience. The reception staff are very friendly, the rooms are clean and have many facilities. In addition, the hotel has a public bathroom on the upper floor (which is divided for men and women), with hot water and a bathtub that has a small view of Tokyo Skytree, so it's beautiful at night!! Not to mention the location of the hotel, which, although it's not in the most popular areas of Tokyo, is a very beautiful area, with a lot of Japanese culture and essence. It was definitely the best hotel we stayed at in Tokyo and it's definitely worth the trip!

I came with some expectations after reading a lot of reviews, so my experience was very positive. Basically if you don't have high expectations, you will have a good time! -The location is just perfect, close to subway stations and just few minutes walking to Sensoji. -Outside it's noisy but the windows have good isolation -The amenities provided are very good -Very clean

Even if I'm giving 10 starts (because I think the price-quality is good) there's some things that you should consider: -Rooms ultra small for 2 people -The staff is not friendly, they didn't say even "hi" when we arrived -There's some stains in the walls

The location is a convenient 4min walk from Kuramae station (there are 2 Kuramae stations so it's the one further north) and 10min walk to Asakusa station. It has an on-site restaurant (with special offers for guests) and two onsens (one indoors and one open-air) with a great view of the river and Tokyo Skytree. We were allowed to leave our suitcases before check-in, although they weren't secured in a room but left out in the lobby with a tag on them. The hotel is not responsible for the safekeeping of any valuables so be aware. The rooms are cleaned every three days but a new set of toiletries, robes and towels are left out every day.

There's only one laundry machine and a long queue quickly formed to use it. It does have self-dispensing laundry detergent so no need to bring your own. However, the dryer isn't very effective for large loads. There's also black mould around the vents in the onsen changing room and the linoleum floor is sodden and peeling.

What I like about the hotel is that it is located near 2 station(kuramae and asakusa station), the onsen is a plus, after a whole day of walking, dipping my tired body in the onsen is so much relaxing though it could get crowded in the evening. The hotel is also near a convenient store and a grocery store just across the street. The staff is accomodating and will help you if you have questions though sometimes we didn't understand each other. I can also see the Skytree in the onsen and just a few walk from the hotel, I can chill near the river with the view of tokyo sky tree

What I didn't like is that the faucet and shower in the bathroom is difficult to use, also one time after I came back in my room I think one of the room had recently been checked out by one of the guest and it smells so bad that I can even smell it inside my room, lucky i think they cleaned it already since I didn't smell it the next day.

We have stayed here before and liked it so we came back again. Aren't APA's amazing! Like I get they are small rooms but they have everything you need!! And they are big enough for us even with a snowboard bag and a massive suitcase. From tea to roomwear and even a cute origami crane. Everything is always clean. There were free movies on the tv. We especially like this APA for the Onsen up on the roof. They even have an outdoor onsen and it has a view over the river to the skytree. We also had a room looking out towards the skytree this time too. Apparently you have to be up pretty high to get a view of the river aswell and they sell out fast but the view of the skytree and the cute kitty in the building next door was a nice surprise for us. They have luggage storage before and after checkin and a restaurant downstairs which does awesome pork bowls. Its a short walk down the street maybe 5-7mins to the elevator entry to Asakusa station to take the train back to the airport and about 15mins to Sensoji Temple. Theres also a couple of good ramen places nearby and several konbinis and a great bento box shop that also sells onigiri.

The only thing that lets this place down is the need to use the checkin machine at reception and also for luggage storage you have to scan a QR code and register and get another QR code for them to scan to retrieve your luggage. Sometimes getting more technology isn't such a good thing. The checkin machines don't always work if you booked through a website like booking.com. Also we have to use lobby wifi to organise the luggage storage as we dont have internet on our phones on holidays except for free wifi.

ONSEN is the best after going out in winter all day. hotel is fully equipped with everything you need .. microwave, ice machine ironing and laundry machines room has everything you need ... nice and warm. staffs are nice. place is clean ...and again onsen is really hot and nice. It's really convenient to travel from Narita ... it's cheap and easy with just direct train. and it costs you just 1200 yen

small room, but that's no the problem at all .......and you can't find big room in tokyo. Just be careful when you choose the room, make sure you choose non-smoking or else, you will suffer a lot
