What guests think

At APA Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Chuo, travelers praise the central Kabukicho location, clean, compact rooms and helpful staff, while repeatedly noting very small room and bathroom sizes, lively surroundings with street noise, and a basic, limited set of facilities.

Common pain points include a single small elevator causing waits and centralized climate control that can leave rooms uncomfortably warm with little adjustment. The attached 24-hour restaurant serves Indian/Thai-style breakfasts and curries, which some enjoyed and others disliked, and a noticeable curry aroma in lobby and halls is mentioned. Expect a clean, no-frills base in a lively nightlife area, best for short stays or travelers prioritizing location over space and amenities.

Facilities

Facilities are basic: there is only one small elevator, and guests note no on-site laundry or ice machines. An attached 24-hour restaurant is handy, but occasional scheduled power outages and lobby microwave access were inconvenient.

This place was nice! It was really close to the Toho Cinema, Godzilla Head, and Kabukicho. I can walk out at anytime and find myself in the night life and food. Its close to Shinjuku by a 15min walk. Its looks like an older building, there is no public bath, laundry nor ice machine which is inconvenient. I regret not booking the other Apa Hotel which was a 3min walk from this location! Overall I would stay here if it was a short stay.. I need my laundry washer/dryer.

This a review for the APA Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Chuo only. My overall impression is that this hotel has a wonderful, caring staff and is clean, tidy and a good option for a typical tiny room, budget hotel in Kabukicho. A couple small issues that should be mentioned are that the central air/heat can not be manipulated for your personal liking. If it’s Winter you get heat, if it’s Summer you get cool, which sounds good until it’s not. I personally like a cool hotel room all the time. Turning off the heat fan made the room stuffy. Turning it on, even with the thermostat at 16 Celsius, the room got uncomfortably hot. The lack of control is an issue for me. The wonderful front desk staff kindly offered me a circular fan. There is no in-room safe. I like locking up my passport, extra credit cards and small cameras. It’s just a peace of mind thing. Again, the front desk staff offered to lock up stuff for me, but I personally feel this is an inconvenience and a process that I don’t want to bother with. The hotel does not have a self service laundry. The front desk directed me to a coin op laundry a 5 minute walk away. Not a great option to walk through Kabukicho with a bag of dirty clothes. Not great. There is only one elevator. Stay on an upper floor (there are 15) for a quieter room, but beware you’ll need to be patient at times! You’ll wait for that elevator as it stops an almost every floor. It’s a very bad design flaw in my opinion.

The location was great and very convenient for shopping, restaurants and transportation. The big negative is that there is only one small elevator serving 15 floors - totally inadequate. There's also no ice maker or laundry facilities.

Enjoyed my stay. Only had 1 elevator and seemingly no stairs so it was a bit hectic during the night and the rush hours. There seemed to be a pre-scheduled black out every other day, ie electricity, maintenance, etc and the hotel would announce to stay out of the room during those times which was somewhat inconvenient. Otherwise I enjoyed the stay and would do again.

This was my first time staying at a two star hotel and I will never do it again. Our room was very dusty and dirty. It had not been vacuumed or dusted in a while, and there were spots/stains on the walls. There was also mold and dust on the AC unit. The washroom was very very small, which I suppose is expected in a tokyo 2 star hotel. The once positive thing was that our toilet stopped flushing properly and the hotel staff took care of it by the time we returned in the evening. This hotel needs a deep clean.

Room reeked of cigarette smoke. Other than that, everything was satisfactory. Just my room smelled like an ash tray so I had to keep the window open all the time and keep messing with the heat to keep the temperature regulated. In this day and age, a smoke smelling room just isn’t acceptable. Do better there.

First visiting the room… it’s not cleaned. To a point where various things are laying on the floor. I doubt someone even opened up the door to check. Going down to the reception, they offered to go up and clean. He went up and cleaned and still not clean. The tv is super annoying, putting itself on all the time with some irritating guidance on “don’t use selfie stick” over and over. Customer service is super low. They cannot even help to book an event or restaurant.

Great location in Shinjuku! Room was well thought out, many little details to make your stay comfortable. Handy flyers to show you were to go, what to eat, sights to see. Close to everything you could need. Shower is compact as you’d expect but the pressure was phenomenal. The bed was two twin together so I was on a weird slope that bothered me. Only other complaint was an advert I could hear out the front that played every few minutes, 24hrs a day. Hearing the same guitar riff drove us crazy so we got earplugs. A lot of the other rooms faced away so this wouldn’t be a problem every time

The location was awesome. The only complaint I had was you are unable to control room temperature from the room, so my room was a lot warmer than I like. They mention you can rent a fan from front desk, I think the rooms should just have a fan. Also would have been nice if they had couple of chairs to sit on while waiting to check in. And maybe a bench out front to sit on while waiting for an uber or airport ride.

I found the check in process very time consuming. Our family was exhausted from our long travel and a 20 minute check in is too long. Our reservation couldn't be found via my passport or confirmation number. They requested I scan my passport at least 4 times, had to type in my address, phone number, all which is on my reservation already. Finally got to the room and it was 28.5 degrees C. It was unbearably hot. Immediately turned on the AC but it took a good 30 minutes to get to regular temperatures. Room was fine, small, but I knew it would be. The bathroom was smaller than what we had on the cruise ship! Location is lovely but I would not stay there again.

Hotel and staff were A+. This hotel is right in the action. You go out 50m and there are hundreds of people. We knew Shinjuku was dirty in the morning but we got to experience it. Do not be surprise when you walk out, you will see LOTS of trash/food on the ground. There are workers who clean up every morning. It's a party spot but we felt safe.

Rummet litet men ok för att vara i Tokyo. Dålig ventilation då det blev väldigt varmt i rummet. Tyvärr dålig service av receptionspersonalen samt i när man kommer in i lobbyn och övriga gemensamma lokaler (hall, hiss osv) så luktar det väldigt mycket curry från hotellets restaurang. Bra läge på hotellet. Kan vara lite stökigt på kvällarna med festglada personer. Men det får man ta om man väljer att bo i det området.

The smell in the room (and in the lobby and hallways) from the hotel restaurant was a very strong curry smell and extremely off putting. We moved rooms after one night, the staff was very understanding and helpful. The room was extremely small and we were expecting that, however, the bathroom felt like an afterthought to the room, and we felt like we were in an RV on a camping trip. It was tighter than expected, tighter than an airplane bathroom. If you want to be in the heart of Shinjuku and all the action, then this is a good location at a good price. We were uncomfortable the whole time and would not go back.
