What guests think

At APA Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower, travellers consistently find very clean, compact rooms and a convenient, lively Shinjuku location, with friendly staff and a popular onsen, though self check-in, climate control limits, and small dining/laundry facilities draw criticism.

Rooms are very small yet efficiently laid out with under-bed storage, but centrally controlled heating and cooling can leave some stays too warm or too cold. The lively Kabukicho/Koreatown setting offers easy access to trains, restaurants, and shops, while nightlife and occasional street hassle or litter may not suit everyone. Breakfast is generally good but can be crowded and pricey, and the coin laundry often struggles to keep up. Expect a compact, efficient base in a bustling area, best for travellers who pack light and plan to be out exploring.

Facilities

Public bath/onsen is a highlight, though tattoos require covers and hours end around midnight. Coin laundry exists but is frequently busy and dryers underperform; the split towers mean some facilities require walking to the main building.

Room and bathroom are very (very!) small. Disappointed the hotel Onsen isn’t tattoo friendly still. Place was clean. Staff were very kind and helpful. There are many APA hotels in the neighborhood. Make sure you choose the one that fits you. Would recommend, but I’ll choose a different hotel brand for my next visit.

Very clean. Staff was friendly. Fresh towels were brought every day but trash was not taken out of rooms. We don’t know if we were supposed to leave it out for staff, but they are so thorough with explaining every nook and cranny that not mentioning it felt like they would have cleaned it. It piled up fast.

Breakfast is not included and is actually pretty pricey, especially compared to other local options. The hotel is clean and organized, and despite their warnings otherwise clean towels are delivered daily (& actually start to pile up). The main tower of the 323 building, lower floors, is quite loud, from street noise and other. Overall a comfortable and pleasant stay.

It was ok for sightseeing around Tokyo however the room was extremely small, no room one side of the bed and shuffling room the other side. We had to sit on the bed to allow the other person to get to the bathroom. Clean towels, robes, drinks provisions etc were put outside the room everyday even though we didn’t need them. We only used the towels and even if we just left the used ones out everything was left. We ended up with 6 clean robes before the cleaning day (room cleaned every 3 days). On rainy days umbrellas were provided free of charge which was very much appreciated. It is in the heart of Shinjuku so very lovely with bars and restaurants.

The area was perfect for a tourist. Don Quixote was across the street, many restaurants and shops in the area. I didn’t not like the set up of the bathroom. The bathroom is slippery and elevated compared to the main room. I ended up slipping my last night which was not a good way to end my trip. The room is tiny but clean. I would recommend for a solo traveler but no more.

Before checking out we asked for help from the front desk concerning Airporter luggage pick up. The employee was not knowledgeable about the issue and we were helped to navigate the phone to succeed.. howerever..at one point the gentleman told my wife that usually the customers handle that themselves. I felt that was an inappropriate comment. If one does not know how to help.. one should get someone else to help the customer instead of saying that! Please don't be too harsh on the person responsible. : )

Longest check in period I've erer participated in. Mostly caused by having a completely automated system.with very little staff on hand to help with the faulty system. Other than that it was as expected. I suggest maybe show up a half hour early for check in and get to the front of a very crowded chaotic line.

Location

Convenient base in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho/Koreatown area, walkable to Higashi-Shinjuku and Shinjuku stations, restaurants, shops, and nightlife. The immediate streets are lively and can feel seedy or noisy to some, though many guests still felt safe.

Clean, no-frill property in the Kabukicho area of Shinjuku. Not a lot of amenities and the area is surrounded by host/hostess bars, with the occasional prostitutes soliciting on the street. Close to Korean restaurants and the Shinjuku Donquixote (less crowded than the one in Kabukicho). Walk to Shinjuku station is about 15 min and one will pass by many restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues along the way - definitely a more “colorful” side of the Tokyo night life. The rooms are clean and efficient. Everything needed is in the room. The small size of the room means that there are no closets or storage spaces, but the space beneath the bed is sufficient to store large luggage. In-room WiFi is fast and sufficient for working and surfing the net. Bathrooms are small but has a deep soaking tub and decent water-pressure shower heads. Overall the experience is fine and one gets what one pays for. Efficient use of space makes the small rooms easy to navigate and comfortable. For budget conscious travelers who enjoys the hustles and bustles of Kabukicho this is an appropriate choice.

The property was close to many stations. About a ten minute walk from the hotel. Very close to shopping areas in Shinjuku. The hotel was nice, cozy room, coin laundry, communal bath, respectful staff, nice restaurant on the first floor. Some buildings near the hotel are not family friendly. Better to stick to the main streets when finding your way around.

I only learnt after entering Japan that APA hotel rooms are small! The room was nice and had good facilities but we could hardly move around. Staff were friendly and helpful.
