APA HOTEL NIHOMBASHI BAKUROCHO EKIKITA, Tokyo

The hotel is in the Chiyoda district of Tokyo, less than 2 minutes on foot from JR Bakurocho Station and about 2 minutes from Higashi-Nihombashi Station (Asakusa Line). The Asakusa Line provides a direct connection to Haneda Airport in around 70 minutes, while the JR Sōbu Rapid Line from Bakurocho connects to Narita Airport in about 80 minutes without a transfer. The neighbourhood is quiet and slightly set back from the main thoroughfares, reducing street noise at night. Several convenience stores-Lawson and 7-Eleven-are within a 1-2 minute walk, and a range of restaurants are within 300 metres. The Edo Tokyo Museum is a 17-minute walk away, and the Imperial Palace is 3 km from the property. The area is well placed for exploring nearby Asakusa and Akihabara on foot or by short train rides.

The hotel offers single, double, and twin rooms, each with a private bathroom fitted with a bath, shower, bidet, hairdryer, slippers, and free toiletries. All rooms include air conditioning, heating, a tea/coffee maker, a flat-screen TV, a desk, a carpeted floor, yukata, and free Wi-Fi. The double bed measures 140 cm x 195 cm-no queen or larger size is available. Rooms are compact; the limited floor space means medium suitcases are best stored under the bed. Rooms with openable windows are possible on request, but are subject to availability. Some rooms on upper floors can experience excessive heating during winter due to the centralised system, which has limited individual temperature control. Road-facing rooms can experience some traffic noise due to window insulation. Bedrooms are generally quiet, and the location off the main street adds to a calm environment.

Breakfast is available at the hotel's restaurant, located on the ground floor next to the lobby. The buffet features around 30 items, centring on Japanese dishes such as grilled fish, miso soup, and rice, with some European options. The restaurant only operates during breakfast hours. The breakfast area is relatively small, with about 10 tables for two, which may result in a short wait during peak times. For other meals, the surrounding streets offer a wide variety of restaurants, from sushi to Korean and casual dining, all within a 2-3 minute walk. A vending machine for drinks is available on site.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas. The 24-hour front desk can assist with general inquiries, luggage storage (including on check-out day), and providing directions to nearby coin laundries. A microwave is available in the lobby for guest use. Free trouser presses are located next to the elevators on each floor. Irons and ironing boards can be borrowed from reception at no charge, but must be returned within one hour.
