APA Hotel Akihabara Ekimae

The location of the hotel itself is great, very close to Akihabara station. The amount of food options around was really good as well regardless of the time of day or night. There daily servicing of towels and items is really handy but if you're staying for more than a few nights they do add up if you're not on-top of putting everything out. Cleaning the room on request but also every three days is really handy too just in case you forget to put the placard out. Check in and check out was really straightforward and seamless, could stay the whole time with limited interaction with staff if that's what you're after. Only downsides were the laundry, vending machine and elevator situation. There is only one machine each for the whole hotel so unless you're getting in early or really late at night but hard to get a load done if necessary. The in hotel vending machine is quite small and limited in options but luckily there is a full sized one outside and convenience stores in 7-11 and Family mart literally 20-30 metres from the hotel. Overall a great spot to stay particularly if you're a solo traveller cause the rooms are quite compact in size

Everything was great and very close to the station.

Breakfast was very nice

Comparing this hotel to 8 others that I stayed at during my visit to Japan, this hotel had the smallest room and bathroom. Also, the thermostat didn't work so we had to open the window to try and cool the room down. However with the window being open we had a lot of street and train noise that kept waking us up. The staff was nice though. When we arrived they gave us a room that they said was non-smoking but when we went in the room there was a terrible smoke smell. The staff thankfully moved us to a different room that didn't smell like smoke. Overall, I would look for a different hotel to stay in the Akihabra area. This was our least favorite hotel of our trip.

Very good

Location is very convenient for travel, food and shopping

Stayed in Nov/Dec. The AC is tied to a central control which is hard-wired to heat in the winter, so no option for cool. My window pointed the sun for 90% of the day, and coming back in the afternoon found my room to be 81 F (27 C), with no AC to cool it down. Only one elevator for the whole building was annoying. There is only a single washer/dryer pair for the entire building as well.

Typical APA experience, easy, consistent, and convenient service.

This property may be nice for people who like the big city feel; it wasn't my preference. If you have little kids, or like to feel safe... I wouldn't recommend staying in Akihabara. Next time, I'll make the trip in.

The rooms had a smell as if they were smoking rooms, althought they werent. And the matresses were very thin and stiff. While I'm used to small rooms, these were very small. Although I appreciated the under bed storage
