Nishi Ward Hotels near Saitama

"Room was in new condition and clean, staff was very friendly. Area outside was seedy but interesting"

"The room was a perfect size and not too small. The staff were extremely helpful. If you select the breakfast there get there at 6:25am. The restaurant gets extremely packed. Other than that, I will be using this hotel again for future visits."

"It was excellent, and I am told by Japanese friends that this was the best APA hotel they have seen. Three problems: 1) The windows didn't open 2) The A/C on the room only made it cooler, not hotter. There was a dial to adjust the temperature, but the man at the front desk told me that did not work. You could only make it cooler. This seemed very strange. But he kindly gave me a plug-in heater for my room. 3) The ELEVATORS ARE A MESS. It takes a long, long time for the to come and then sometimes they are so full you can't get in. 4) The hotel needs to make it clear to guests that there are TWO Ryogoku stations, one for the Metro and one for JR trains. My first night, the man at the desk did not ask my which one I wanted, and he sent me to the wrong one. "

"I found it rare that the hotel had an additional fee for my husband staying with me (total guest 2) since that’s ever the case in other hotels. However the hotel was clean and had a nice view. Easy access to the train station. "

"Good location"

"Check in was difficult. It took a long time to find our reservation. The room was described accurately, but we would reserve a different room in the future. A full size bed is sufficient for me and my husband to sleep in, but the room was too small for two people and two suitcases. That said, the room was perfectly clean, great amenities, bathroom was fine."

"Excellent hotel"

"First impressions: nice vibe with lounge and music, restaurant and bakery on main/first floor. Rooms are small even though we booked a deluxe room with 4 beds. There were no room for luggage except under your beds, small seating area in middle of 4 beds. Room was dark and felt cramped. Location was ok but not in downtown Shinjuku. It’s further away and about 15 min walk to train station. We did eat at the bakery twice for convenience. Food was good and price was ok. We are in the hotel restaurant our last night there for happy hour (Waygu burgers, fries and curry). Food and drinks were very good (we had sangria which was one of tge best I’ve had. ‘T husband has beer and gin and tonic which were also very good. Also, we did see homeless camps on our walks go tge train station. It was o my a few and they kept to themselves, but something to note. Would recommend for a short stay (we stayed 3 nights) but not longer. I would recommend staying closer to downtown and closer to train station"

"always stay at an APA at-least once when we visit Japan. for the price and location they are one of the best places to stay and i’d highly recommend !"
