Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Apa Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower enjoys a superb location right in the heart of Shinjuku, with subway stations conveniently nearby, making it easy to explore. Many guests appreciate the proximity to restaurants, shopping, dining, and convenience stores, plus attractions like Golden Gai. Rooms are well-equipped, offering amenities like yukata, and while some found them very small, they are cleverly designed, with storage under the bed, and kept very quiet with great AC and blackout curtains. Guests enjoy the teppanyaki restaurant with chef Minami.

efficient and modern stay

relaxing onsenjapanese optionsearly check-out
i found the onsen relaxing after a long day.. it provided a soothing end. breakfast impressed me, especially the traditional japanese options. the location proved convenient for exploring at night without taxi needs.
the check-in service felt chaotic, and the early check-out time, with added surcharges for extensions, gave the impression of prioritizing customer turnover over guest comfort. not being able to use shower facilities after checking out added to my discomfort for the long journey home.
