APA Hotel Iidabashi Ekimae

I loved it so much! I made a review video on my YouTube channel this is the link : https://youtu.be/SAk0mbXlJk8?si=RolETytqzpW8oYog I’ve got 3 Tokyo vlogs on my channel if you are interested, all of them show the hotel!!!

My first time in Tokyo and travelling solo for a musical show that was happening at Tokyo Dome City Hall, the check in process was auromated and smooth, reception was sparkling clean and staff were always ready to help. They often would bow and tell you to have a good day or tell you welcome back if they see you. Walkind distance from alot of subway/metro stations and Tokyo Dome, I even took a leisurely walk to Akihabara and it took about 30 minutes. Room was small, expected from the indicated size in the listing. Small but comfortable. Nice double bed, TV access, working air conditioner and a desk. I wish there was more USB outlets but it's not the most important as travellers usually have their own adapter. The bathroom was a tight fit but not bad, provided more than enough amenities ranging from toothbrushes to disposable shaver. The bathtub is small but enough for one person to soak after a long day of walking. I booked the deal with included breakfast which was a little restaurant connected to their ground floor. 5 items offered for the free breakfast and the traditional japanese breakfasts will be a sore miss once I return home. Overall, a good hotel for solo travellers on a budget. I would rate it higher but I needed an iron but all they had was a pants press located next to the lifts on every floor.

The location is super near to train station and is 10 minutes-walk to the tokyo dome. For the convenience stores, there are two convenience stores located near the hotel. The hotel is surrounded by various restuarants.

This was one of the best stay in our trip to Japan. The customer service was another level. We had a lot of luggage and we’re traveling with a toddler. We also arrived from another hotel where we lost our luggage and had the worst customer service so we were really stressed. But the customer service provided from the moment of check in until checkout at this hotel was exceptional. One particular staff in the reception was so considerate. The staff explained to us the easiest way to travel to the airport and even helped us to carry our luggage outside of the hotel. We were in a hurry since we were scared we might miss our flight so I couldn’t get the name of the staff. The staff reception had a female attendant on 14th June. I would never forgot the customer service provided by this particular staff. And I’m wholeheartedly grateful. The rooms are small compared to other hotels but I would easily choose this hotel over any other hotel in Tokyo simply due to the friendliness of all the staff and customer service.

The room was clean and nicely appointed. The WiFi was good and logging on to it was easy. The hotel is is a largely residential area with a good choice of shops and bars. The station is a few minutes walk away with good links across the city and a direct link to Shinjuku, Shibuya, and other well known areas. Kagurazaka is a very pleasant part of Tokyo and is an easy walk, it offers even more restaurants, bars, wine-bars. For beer lovers there are a few craft beer places nearby which serve a wide selection of first class beers.
