APA Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho-Higashi

It’s really small and I didn’t like it

Small room but clean and close to Kabukicho Red-light area, bars, and things!

Very clean, plenty of amenities, very helpful staff.

Very polite bellboy and checkin employeeres But the housekeeping is not I dont think they cleaned up fully

The staff was very friendly and spoke good English. The lobby was tiny. The hotel also lacked a washing/dryer and there was no onsen available. The hotel was close to convenience stores and metro train station. However, it is a far from Shinjuku station (15-20min walk). If you have a JR pass I would stay somewhere closer to the Shinjuku station. The room was the tiniest room we experienced in Japan. The room was updated and lots of power outlets. However, The floor was also dirty. There were balls of hair from the previous guests as well as their used slippers. Also, when we entered the room, the building had turned off their AC (it was the hottest day of the month!). We called the front desk to turn on the AC, which they did. The hotel was cheaper than other hotels in the area. Though, after staying here, I think it would be worth it to pay more and stay somewhere more comfortable and more convenient.
