Apa Hotel Higashi-Shinjuku-Kabukicho

Location is great. Only a short walk to multiple train lines, restaurants and convenience stores. The staff were very welcoming and there is a vending machine, microwave and ice machine in the hotel. I would stay here again when back in Shinjuku

Very clean rooms and fast check-in process. The price is affordable. It’s near a lot of Korean/Thai restaurants if you’re fond of these cuisines. There’s also a good amount of convenience stores nearby.

There’s another APA hotel right across the street and it can be confusing to know which hotel is the one you booked. It’s not a big deal, though. There’s only one single elevator for guests. With the large amount of guests who use this hotel, one elevator is not enough. We had to wait almost 5 minutes for the elevator to get to our floor. Also, the WIFI was okay on our first stay, but it was dreadfully slow on our next stay.
