7/10 Very quiet room in RyogokuThe location - despite the lack of nice restaurants around, it was close to tube stations and it didn’t take too long to reach the iconic neighbourhoods.
How functional the room was - small but efficient
Cleaning system - only requested if needed and done every 3 nights at least
Quiet - away from the road, so very quiet at night
Lawson convenient store on the 2nd floor

10/10 Great place to stay.Service staff were friendly and the amenities provided by the room and hotel were very comfortable. I appreciate a robust public bath as well as a private shower system that is availabe to all guests. The Ryogoku Eki tower also provided an in-house convenience store, while a second convenience store was located right outside the building. The closest subway station was also a 5 minute walk away.

8/10 It was good area for travelling with teenagers. Practical and affordable.The location close to Ryoguku station is very convenient, our teenagers were able to navigate their way back to the hotel from other areas of Tokyo alone on the train a few times. There are some great small restaurants near by and the garden next to hotel near the sword museum is really lovely. The hotel onsen is excellent. The room is basic and the standard small size usual for Tokyo, a little bigger than the APA in Shinjuku.

7/10 GoodNot the most central location but connected by two train stations and only 2 stops from Akihabara. Rooms are cleaned every 3 days. Lawson's located inside the building. Had a corner room which is good sized. Make sure to scan the QR code in the lobby if storing baggage.

8/10 Very goodHad a room on the upper floors, and the view was so nice, towards the city. It's also nice to have an onsen to unwind after a long day. The hotel is very clean, all amenities are provided.

8/10 Very good location, great onsenVery helpful staff, the on-site onsen facility was really good and open for long hours. The location is very good near a well-connected station, and the sumo experience center. There is a convenience store inside which is handy when coming home late.

10/10 Perfect hotel for value in every way and APA hotels were booked in several locations helping our travel budget without cThis is a high standard value for money hotel. Priced very reasonably and rooms may be a little smaller but amazing value. Really clean and all facilities provided from bath to kettle. Very helpful staff and in great location especially if you want to see Sumo wrestling. Highly recommend and close to station with half hour journey to Narita Airport

9/10 SuperbGood location in a peaceful area, but good connections. We stayed in a bigger corner room with a spectacular view, which I can fully recommend. A convenience store was nice and the spa excellent.

9/10 Not enough elevators but very nice in other details.Well run and great location - quiet and less central but still very convenient.
Elevators were a problem too many guests and floors for just 6 elevators (also used by cleaning staff) I once waited 24 minutes to come down since all elevators were full. A bit of the same regarding laundry facilities specially driers there was a bit of a wait for that. Other than that very nice thank you!
TeresaApr 15, 2025
7/10 Nice location, very much a Japanese room (tiny)Liked the onsen.

5/10 Never again!The area was quiet and near train station, Sword Museum and next to the Sumo centre and beautiful garden
DebraApr 20, 2025
8/10 Very goodThe self check in procedure is a bit of a slog and because of how busy the hotel is the elevators can sometimes really take a while to arrive. But other then that the laundromat and 24/7 Lawson inside the hotel is really handy and the onsen is great way to relax after a long day exploring Tokyo

7/10 Recommended for a family vacationNice location with good breakfast. Room and bathroom are quite small but functional. Very nice Japanese bath (Onsen).
Cleaning is only every third day. If you stay 4 days cleaning after 2 days would be more appropriate. The gym is too small and needs renovation.

8/10 Great 1st time to JapanThis was a great experience. While the size of the room was small and cramped, lets be real most hotels in Tokyo have the same size at a budget room level. The staff was super friendly. Location wise its located right next to the MTR which connects all lines including the blue green and yellow lines. Also nearby was a Sumo live show place that we enjoyed. A lot of good restaurants nearby. I would definitely explore the APA hotel chains in Japan regardless of the location cause they provide a good experience.

10/10 The APA is not the Hilton, it’s more like the Holiday inn in the USA, but this APA punches above that level.A great top tear APA with one of the best locations in Tokyo. Right near the Sumo Stadium and the subway. This APA is the nicest I have ever stayed in. This APA is very clean and has nice size rooms. I great hotel closer to the level of a Hilton than a Holiday Inn. If you like great deals then stay here.

10/10 Choose the high floor roomsStrategically located, just a short walk from Ryogoku Station. Modern and comfortable rooms equipped with essential amenities. We chose a high floor room with city view and it was magical. However, they're kinda small.
This hotel has a fitness center, outdoor pool, restaurant and an onsen.

8/10 3/5 starsThe hotel location is fantastic as you are close to 2 Ryougoku stations. There is a Lawsons inside the hotel which makes it really convenient.
Positive:
Hotel staff are very friendly. Some speak good English but overall top marks on customer service.
Ample laundry and dryer. 500 yen for a load and it also includes detergent.
Gym is small but clean with a nice rack of free weights and a single position bench.
Downsides:
Buffet for breakfast and dinner is expensive and not worth it if you bringing small children.
The elevators at 10am and around 8pm are the WORST. Be prepared to wait over 10 minutes. These might be the most inefficient hotel elevators I have ever been at.
Have to make a reservation and pay to use the pool. It is really tacky and in poor taste to have guests pay to the use the pool. The positive of this is that no one uses the pool.
Overall for what you are paying it's great value. But dear god the elevators suck tremendously. If you are going to check out do it before 10am because entire hotel is checking out and using the hotels.

8/10 Pretty good :)Stayed here with my boyfriend for 8 nights for our first trip to Tokyo, and it was generally a pretty good experience. The room was clean, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. I’d recommend paying the extra and getting a higher floor room as the view was amazing! The lifts took a little while, but waiting the 2- 3 minutes didn’t really bother us too much. The staff were really kind and helpful, especially as we weren’t Japanese speaking. The breakfast had a wide range of choice, the whole hotel was immaculate and of a really high standard and had a brilliant location, only being 2 minutes from the train station and taxi rank. The only downside was there was no safe in the room but for the price it was well worth it.
