Apa Hotel Higashi Shinjuku Kabukicho Tower is favored for its prime location, placing guests within a comfortable walk of Shinjuku's vibrant heart and just a short distance from metro stations. Guests appreciate the well-equipped rooms, often noting the inclusion of amenities like slippers, yukata, and kettles for preparing snacks.

The hotel is near two subway lines. Many food markets and restaurants are very close by. The hotel is close to a popular nightlife district but my room was mostly quiet. The staff were very friendly.
The central control unit of the ac was set to 'cooling' and I was unable to adjust the temperature to heating

Acceptable Location, Noticeable Shortcomings

easy accessimpersonal check-insmall room
The location was acceptable with easy access to public transport.
The impersonal check-in process was frustrating. I was forced to use a passport scanning machine. The staff's limited English proficiency made it difficult to resolve issues (and I did have an issue). The room was also ridiculously small, a complete challenge for someone of average size.
