Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Apa Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Apa Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower is appreciated for its superb location in the heart of Shinjuku, making it easy to access the subway, train stations, shops, and restaurants, including being within walking distance of a 7/11 and family mart. The hotel offers features like on-demand movies and TVs that can cast from phones, enhancing the stay, but some guests have noted that the rooms can feel a bit compact. The convenience to nightlife and attractions, such as the famous cat on the screen, makes it a popular choice, alongside the on-site onsen, which provides a large, clean space for relaxation.

Excellent Location and Amenities!

The onsen on the 28th floor was convenient. Amenities were regularly restocked. I found that very useful. The staff were very kind. There were blackout curtains in the room, allowing me to sleep well.

The room was a bit smaller than I expected! It was manageable for one person, but could feel cramped with more people. I found myself wishing for a little more space to move around comfortably.

I found the location very nice close to many shops, restaurants, bars, and transport links. the room had an ac unit, a tv with free wlan, and free movies which was a bonus. the breakfast offered a good selection. It was delicious and well-prepared.
