The APA Hotel Shinjuku-Kabukicho Tower is a reliable, compact, and well-priced city hotel that delivers the APA brand's signature efficiency in one of Tokyo's most vibrant locations. The APA chain is Japan's largest domestic hotel group, and this tower property is one of its flagship urban locations.
- Room types: Compact but efficiently designed single, semi-double, and double rooms; APA is known for maximising comfort within a smaller Japanese hotel footprint
- Key amenities: Natural hot spring bath (onsen) on the upper floors — a genuine luxury surprise at this price, restaurant, vending machines, coin laundry, and fast WiFi
- Highlights: The rooftop onsen is the standout feature — soaking in natural hot spring water above glittering Shinjuku is extraordinarily good value
This hotel is excellent for budget business travelers and solo explorers who want a clean, comfortable base with zero faff. The Kabukicho location means Tokyo's best food, drink, and entertainment are steps from the lobby.
