"The APA Hotel was a wonderful and convenient place to stay. It is a short walk from Ryogoku station, which made getting on the Chuo-Sobu line (JB) easy. From there, transferring to the Yamanote line (JY) with stops to lots of major hubs like Akihabara, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Harajuku simple.
There is a 24 hour Lawson in the building which was very useful for late night cravings or quick bites. There is also a public bath. I didn't get a chance to use it, but the rooms come with yukata and slippers for guests to enjoy. The TV also has a live tracker for the crowdedness of the baths so you can easily tell when a good time to go is. There are not many free VOD options but the tvs support mirroring from your own devices.
Staff is super helpful. Check in and out is almost fully self-service and has multiple language support. Cleaning is done every 3 days regardless of guest status so it's good to plan around it. I was bedridden on one of these days and just stepped out for a couple minutes while the staff turned the room over.
Outside the hotel is a sumo arena if that's of interest. There are also two small public gardens, the sword museum, and some small bars and izakayas so there are plenty of options in the area if you choose to spend a day locally.
Overall I would stay here again."
