    The main issue was that the room was not very clean. Dust on the sides, plus floor was dirty. We stayed in multiple apa hotels on our japan trip, and this was the only dirty one we experienced.

    Location is great, very close to the river so could jog in the morning, as well as walking to kuramae and asakusa station. Staff were helpful, and onsen is great too. Room was a standard apa room, so all good.

    The entrance makes it hard to manage suitcases as you have to walk down to get to the main door. Quite inconvenient when you have a lot of luggage to carry down. Check-in took quite awhile to arrange even though we were supposed to have been booked a day prior and asked them not to cancel so we could check-in before the 3pm slot.

    It was near the station, across 2 convenience stores & close to some restaurants and cafes - very convenient. Note that this is an old residential area of Tokyo and quite a trip from main tourist areas.

    Rooms were SMALL, even for japans standard. Bathrooms were particularly poor and setup in strange ways that made showing an uncomfortable experience. I’ve been to plenty of other hotels in Tokyo that didn’t have this issue that were the same size. Rooms felt dated and the provided sheets and yukatas felt scratchy and uncomfortable (likely from being old and being over bleached multiple times).

    Lobby looked nice and the price was one of the most reasonable in the area at the time

    1st: the room is tiny, even for 2 asian girls. It does not fit 2 person standing haha. Moreover, the wc door opens outwardly so it makes the room smaller and you can’t put your luggages near that door. Also you can’t fully open your size24 luggage there. 2nd: the room is a little bit stuffy sometimes so we have to keep the air-con on. 3rd: the self-checkin process was a disaster for us. They had 1 staff and 2 trainees at that time but it took us almost 1 hour just to check in. They kept telling us to work with the machine, but it couldn’t scan some of our passports and it took a while to get help from the staffs. Also the credit card reader at that machine didn’t work for any of our card, and it doesn’t take cash, so it took time for the staffs to press a bunch of steps on their machine to use another pos to read our cards. While it took me only 15-20min at other hotels to check in because we can work directly with a human

    The hotel is located on a busy street near Kuramae station, about 250m from Exit 6 (they have escalator up so you can bring luggage up). We took direct Airport train from Haneda Airport to Kuramae Station and it is very convenient. About 750m walk to Sumida Park, or Sensoji Temple, or Don Quijote Asakusa (I love this one because it is the biggest one I visited during our trip). There is a 7/11 and Aeon minimart opposite the road. But I like the Lawson that 500m away more because they sell many kinds of fresh fruit. The room is designed in a smart way that makes everything perfectly fit in the tiny area. The amenities are well equiped and refilled everyday. I read the reviews that they only clean the rooms twice a week, and you have to request if you want more. But luckily during our 4-night stay there, they cleaned our rooms everyday and refilled all amenities that we used. Good soundproof window so you hardly hear the noise outside despite the hotel is right on the busy street. They have onsen at 12th floor, but it is really small and most people come there to take a shower only. But better have than not. We decided to buy breakfast with the price of 1500y per person when we check in and suprisingly our parents really like those buffet. They have wide range of food choices, many kinds of fresh vegetables and fruit, not just lettuce salad like other places. They also have noodle, rice, bread,… The self-checkout process is very quick and convenient.

    The air condition was either too hot or too cold. Doesn't reflect the actual temperature on the thermostat. The air was also dry. Room kinda smelt sweaty and I found a big bug I had to deal with.
