I enjoyed my stay at Apa Hotel Shinjuku Gyoemmae, as the location was fantastic. being close to the peaceful Shinjuku Gyoen park and just a short walk from the nearest subway station. The staff were friendly and the rooms were clean, though quite small, typical of Tokyo. I appreciated the little amenities provided, but the elevators were slow. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for comfort and convenience in a quieter area.

I recently stayed at the APA Hotel Shinjuku Gyoemmae, and while it had some great points, it wasn't without its flaws. The location is stellar, close to the Shinjuku Gyoen National Park and just a few minutes from the Shinjuku Station. However, the rooms are quite compact, and I felt a bit cramped. The staff's friendliness was hit or miss, which detracted from the overall vibe during my stay.

The room I had was smaller than expected, almost too cramped for my suitcase. It's typical for Tokyo, but this was definitely on the tiny side. Still, it was clean and well-maintained, and I appreciated the comfy bed and decent shower after a day out.

The hotel offers a nice public bath that's gender-segregated, which I really enjoyed after a long day. However, I found it odd that there was no designated smoking area.

My stay at Apa Hotel Shinjuku Gyoemmae was a mixed experience. While the location is great with easy access to a nearby subway station, the room was quite small, even by Tokyo standards. The staff's service left much to be desired, making it difficult to resolve issues. Overall, the amenities like the onsen area were nice, but I wouldn't rush back.
