APA Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho Higashi

What guests think

APA Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho Higashi draws praise for friendly, accommodating staff and a convenient Shinjuku location near stations, shops, and nightlife, while repeated critiques focus on extremely small rooms and late-night street and siren noise affecting sleep.

Rooms are generally clean, though a few guests noted scuffed walls, odors, or inconsistent housekeeping. Common inconveniences include centralized seasonal AC/heat, an early 10:00 checkout, a slow single elevator, and the lack of a guest laundry or on-site restaurant. Expect a compact, budget-friendly base in a lively area rather than a full-service, quiet retreat.

Overall, typical hotel you can stay at in Japan. Although, it's an eco-friendly hotel and the air conditioning is centralized so, the room can get pretty warm and hot even though it's winter. We kind of just opened the window at night or turned off the AC or Heater when it gets too hot. Also, the room is a lot smaller than the other hotel I've stayed in Tokyo. So, do not be like us, we brought 2 big luggages and it was pretty tight. Other than that, it's a cozy hotel.

スタッフさんや部屋の清潔感自体には文句なく良かった、アメニティもアパらしくしっかりしていたしかしそれを差し引いても部屋が悪かった狭いし立地が悪い、パトカーや救急車が毎日深夜帯に交互に来るしバイクなどが暴走行為していたり夜はある意味昼よりうるさいまた施設整備に対してはエレベーター工事に問題があったらしく3時から5時まで工事音などが部屋に響いており寝れなかったエアコンは暖房のみしか選べず暑いと思ったら窓などを開けなければならずただでさえ閉めても音がうるさいのに輪をかけて酷かった

東新宿駅から近いけどホテルから1番近い入口はエレベーターもエスカレーター(下り)も無いので副都心線と大江戸線の電車で出かけたい時はちょっと大変。ランドリー設備有と記載があったけど、ランドリー設備はありませんでした。あるのはクリーニングサービスです。ホテルの近くにコインランドリーがありますが高いです。部屋は綺麗ですが、狭いので使い方に工夫が必要です。姿見がベッド横の細い通路部分に付いていて鏡の前に立つと鏡との間が20cmくらいで使いづらかったです。化粧台は広めでかなり良いです！騒音も無いのでお部屋で過ごすのも特に苦痛はありません。

The hotel was decent and as clean as expected. However, the single elevator was consistently slow, which was frustrating. Communication was difficult since the receptionist didn’t speak much English. I also had to go down to request supplies instead of having them brought up. The partially outdoor hallways were dusty, which I didn’t like.

I'll start with the positives. The location is very convenient for getting around Tokyo, and hotel staff were very polite. However the other details of our stay were infuriating. To start, the room was MUCH smaller than the pictures that Hotels.com uses to advertise the hotel. This is of course not the hotel's fault, but the room was literally just barely wide enough for the bed. That said, the room was clean and fairly comfortable at first (see below). Sleeping was difficult because each night there were sirens every couple of hours, and there was no insulation on the window. We were on the 12th floor and it sounded like the sirens were outside our window even when it was closed. Halfway through our stay the hotel turned off the air conditioning and changed it to heat without telling us, so we woke up in a sauna. It was so hot in the room I couldn't breathe and got a bad headache. The hotel staff refused to turn the air back on, and told us to open the window instead. This didn't sufficiently cool the room down, made the siren problem much worse, and furthermore we woke up to a room absolutely full of mosquitoes, since there was no screen on the window. When I contacted hotels.com about a refund for the nights without air conditioning (which is specifically listen as an amenity) they refused to help me. I would recommend staying elsewhere, and booking from a different website, since hotels.com refuses to take responsibility for their listings.

This is the tiniest hotel room I’ve come across. The room is very noisy hearing noise from the street below. The pillows are way too hard, and the so-called queen size bed is way too small. So is the toilet - it’s the tiniest I’ve ever been to. The toilettes are appalling, so is the house-keeping service. The front desk staff are ignorant. The check-out time is way too early.

As others mention, the rooms are very small. It’s hard to imagine 2 ppl in a single room here. Not enough free space to prop up luggage, I ended up setting it on top of small table area which meant no use of desk. But the place is modern and clean. Service is great. If you prefer to be smack in the middle of the action, choose the APA shinjuku kabukicho chuo location.

Overall the hotel was fine for a quick one night stay but I would have regretted staying here longer. It was clean but was a bit far from the train stations (7-10mins walk). Usually a 10mins walk is no big deal but after you have been walking around the city all day it feels exhausting. It is located right in the heart of Shinjuku so would be a great spot if you wanted to stay up late and enjoy the nightlife. While the room was very clean and the staff were friendly the room was very small. We stay in 4 different hotels during our trip in Japan including another one in Tokyo earlier in our trip and this was by far the smallest room out of all of them. And it was noisy at night, we stayed there on a Saturday night so that may have contributed to the extra noise, but we had to turn on white noise to tune out the street sounds. Based on all of this I had to rate it 3 stars even though it was clean.

The bathroom is up a step, and very small - and the toilet isn’t a heated one like we came to expect in Japan. The shower water pressure was phenomenal though! The bed and pillows are very flat, and the insulation is nonexistent. You will hear everything from outside! It’s a busy area, so there are loud noises all night every night. We chose for the accessibility to the trains, but now I know to choose a different area next time!
