Poor management
I booked 4 nights, but I have to check out one night earlier finally. The reason is I was woken up by noise next door at about 1:30am and another noise as well. I couldn’t sleep until 4am by making sleep tablets. I was woken up again at 7:30am by another noise as well. I almost stayed in hotel whole day due to not well sleeping and give up my trip planning. I then talked to the receptionist lady and manager lady to ask for compensation of JPY3500 and check out without staying last night. I had to change to another hotel for extra cost as I was scared woken up again and couldn’t sleep well etc. At the same time, I showed my heart operation and heart problems from Auckland hospital discharge letter. But they offer me to change room only without compensation for my sleepless and ruined my trip. They only gave me the reason that cleaners have to work very early. I told them it’s fine as long as they don’t make large noises to wake guesses up at about 1:30am-2am. I couldn’t understand how that large hotel group’s management running for the sake of guests’ benefit? Without compensation, I still checked out earlier as I did not feel secure and scared to be woken up in the middle of sleep.

This was by far the smallest room I've stayed in (Japan internationally). Pros: 1) The onsen facilities at the top floor were nice to use. 2) The staff at the front desk were very helpful. 3) The hotel offers multiple luggage forwarding services. Cons: 1) On days that your room is not cleaned the staff leave a bag of new towels and amenities ON THE FLOOR outside your door. 2) On days they did clean it seemed like the cleaning staff had no idea what they were doing. Towels weren't arranged, the floor was not vacuumed, and fallen items were not picked up. 3) The room had stains on the shower curtain, walls and blankets. 4) Elevators were always packed and 1 of the elevators was mostly out of service 5) You could hear the noise from the hallway and elevator clearly in your room 6) the hotel is uphill from the train station

It has everything that we need even though the room is small. Highlight is the laundromat which save our time in finding one outside, but the waiting time is long in the evening.

Small but perfect. Rooms are clean and functional. The entire staff were a pleasure. Location can’t be beat. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Otsuka is a great part of the city, not as busy and bit more relaxing. Fell in love.

Excellent staff! Excellent price! Only small thing was the AC was not able to be used because the whole hotel was on “heating” mode and we had to sleep with the window opened and could hear the trains pass by. With the window closed it was silent but the room would warm up too quickly.

Liked: Cleanliness
Pros: Building was tall enough to be a landmark and 5 mins from the station. Modern and comfortable room, despite the size. Communal bath was a plus, facial cleansing and moisturising products were provided. Fuss free card key replacement - 5 mins. Cons: Room was not large enough to open a medium sized luggage fully without blocking door access. Service levels could be improved. Informed a staff that I would like to check in at the lobby to which her immediate response in English was “have you paid?” Asked the staff if I could borrow a large bowl as I had purchased some food, she replied that it was not possible which was fine but later on repeated my request to her colleague in Japanese following which they both laughed at the oddity of the request. No room service, collect your requested items from the reception. Unsuccessful attempt at greenwashing - hotel claims to promote sustainability and eco friendliness by offering smaller rooms and housekeeping service once every 3 days unless requested otherwise. New towels, single use toiletries and single serving refreshments and paper cups are however provided everyday in a large plastic bag hung at the door. Only paper cups provided for tooth brushing. The only drinking glass was not replaced during the housekeeping session, meaning I used the same glass for the entirety of my stay.

We have always liked to use APA hotels in the past because of the Sento on site. It seems that they are trying to rebrand as a cheaper hotel chain. The Sento are still great but the rooms are noticeably smaller and seem to be more designed for the single business person rather than a couple with the tiniest bathrooms and the new beds with storage room underneath are the most uncomfortable I have tried to sleep on.
