APA HOTEL HIGASHI SHINJUKU KABUKICHO, Tokyo

The surrounding streets are filled with restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues, and several convenience stores are within a short stroll. Higashi-Shinjuku Station provides direct subway access to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Shibuya, and other districts. For travellers with luggage, the A3 exit of the station has an elevator. JR Shinjuku Station is an 11-minute walk away, while Seibu-Shinjuku Station and Shinjuku-Sanchome Metro Station are 6 and 9 minutes on foot respectively. The hotel is also a 10-minute drive or taxi ride from Shinjuku Gyoen and Waseda University. Note that there are multiple APA hotels in the area with similar names; double-check the address before arrival.

Bed sizes: single 200x120 cm, double 200x140 cm. Rooms come with a yukata robe, slippers, and daily toiletries. The original mattress is designed for weight distribution. However, room size is notably small, especially for two people with luggage. There is no balcony, and many rooms overlook exterior corridors or nearby buildings. Soundproofing is limited, so street and corridor noise may be audible. The air conditioning is centrally controlled and not individually adjustable; during warmer months, a fan can be requested. Daily housekeeping replaces towels and amenities but does not include full bed-making or vacuuming unless specifically requested. Some rooms have carpet that may show signs of wear. Rooms are best suited for solo travellers or couples who primarily use the room for sleeping.

Breakfast is available from 06:30 to 10:30 daily. The buffet includes options such as scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, cereal, pastries, and Japanese items. The breakfast room is small and can become crowded; it is advisable to reserve a time slot in advance. Dinner is also available from 17:00 to 23:00 on Wednesday through Sunday. The surrounding area offers numerous other dining options within a short walk.

The hotel does not have a pool, spa, public bath, or fitness centre. For relaxation, massage appointments can be arranged through the front desk. The lively Kabukicho area provides entertainment and leisure options just outside the hotel.
