APA Hotel PRIDE Akasaka Kokkaigijidomae

"Stayed here for 5 days. The location was pretty good. Very quiet area, away from the bustle of touristy areas. Some people might not like that, but I enjoyed the quiet after a long day. It's right across a station, so you could get anywhere in Tokyo within a reasonable amount of time. And there's a beautiful, small shrine behind it that's worth a visit. The staff were all friendly and helpful and towels/amenities were changed out every day - the room cleaned nicely on the 3rd day. Everything was clean and the room was well stocked. But it was very small. Of course, hotel rooms are small in Tokyo, but this was very small. We made it work, but even the bathroom had little space to maneuver. But overall, it was a good stay, a lovely hotel, convenient/quiet location and a great price. Would recommend."

"I stayed at this hotel for a short trip and found it suitable for basic needs—mainly just to sleep and shower. The room was very small, but they’ve made the most of the space and it’s efficient overall. Always had hot water, which was great, and I really liked that the TV offered free movies—a nice touch after a long day exploring.\n\nHowever, there were a few letdowns. I sent two emails a week and three days before arrival and never received a reply, which was disappointing. Communication was also a challenge at the front desk, as the staff’s English was limited, and I felt like the information they provided was lacking or unclear at times.\n\nI had requested twin beds in advance, but upon arrival was told there were none available, despite the hotel having 500 rooms. It felt like there was no effort to accommodate the request. Also, note that the rooms are only cleaned every 3 or 4 days, which might not be ideal for everyone.\n\nElevators were consistently crowded between 9:30–11:30 AM, especially around the 10:00 AM checkout time. It could be frustrating if you’re in a rush.\n\nOn the plus side, the location is convenient with a metro station just a 3-minute walk away, which made getting around Tokyo easy.\n\nOverall, it’s fine for a no-frills stay if you’re just looking for a place to rest at night, but don’t expect much beyond the basics."

"Great place to stay if your staying alone. Room is small but big enough full size bed and space for your luggage underneath the bed. Train station on corner of block with 4 lines stopping there u can pretty much go anywhere on one train in like 20 minutes. Very quiet area not a million people walking outside and a short walk from lots of restaurants and bars"
