This hotel was recommended by friends who were also on vacation with me and my husband. There were a total of 4 of us each in 2 separate rooms which I' only review on our hotel room.
APA Hotel is a very large chain of business hotels of which this one is located in Sugamo in Toshima City. It's just one block away from the JR Yamanote and the Mita Subway Line is just right in front. JR Sugamo Station also has arte vie Sugamo which has 4 levels of shops, restaurants supermarket and bakeries. Lots of other restaurants, bars and stores are in the surrounding area.
I've noticed that APA Hotels are very close to train stations and centrally located to the city centers.
There is only one restaurant next to the hotel lobby which none of us visited. There is no Fitness Club. But there is a Spa Onsen on 14F with separate areas for both Men and Women. Me and our traveling friends found ourselves going in the evening after a long day of walking, sightseeing, for night time relaxing.
Hotel is very safe and secure. Elevator needs your hotel room key to activate. CCTV is also present all around the hotel grounds.
Rooms are very small Japanese style rooms which includes either a twin or double bed(s). Like all Asian Hotels, toiletries and Yukata are included in the bathroom. No In-room safe, but the front desk has a safety deposit box. Self-service laundry room with trouser press is near the elevators on floors 3, 4, 9 & 10.
