"The mattress was thin and hard. The protection pad on the bed was very disgusting. No flat sheet provided. The hostel was very bare bones. No fridge or kitchen for food. Staff were pleasant and kept everything clean. Getting around was easy. Great location."

"This got to be the cleanest capsule I have stayed. Everything is new, clean and tidy. The area is away from Tokyo hot spots, so the area is quiet and comfortable. "

"The place is beautifully designed, you have your own little bed in a cozy box, which I really loved. Everything was clean, comfortable, and the location was very convenient. What made it truly special were the people. Everyone working there is warm, friendly, and effortlessly cool. I was traveling alone, but did not feel like it at all - I was given good recos I wouldn’t have known otherwise, tagged along on a snack bar pop-up, and had great conversations and insights about life in general.

"We just stayed at the Citan Hostel for 3 days and had a great time! Nice basic, comfortable accommodation. The hostel was spotlessly clean, comfortable and centrally located for everything we wanted to see. In addition the staff were absolutely wonderful!"

"The location is great! You have 5 metro lines right outside the hostel and the neighborhood is calm. In the hostel, it is quiet and peaceful. The only thing is that the suitcase room is small and, if you have the bunk-style capsule bed, the locket is very small."

"Clean, comfortable, they’re piloting a manga recommendation service for free as of my past visit September 11-15 2026. 2 restrooms, 2 showers, 4 sinks with hairdryers. Not much of a common area but many manga to choose from in both English and Japanese. Rooms have a small lockbox and a usb fan as well.
Not much of a social hostel, more of a come here to sleep situation."

"My favorite thing about this hostel was the location. It’s at the center of all the tourist hotspot area. It’s also really convenient to get around to places since there’s JR rail within 8mins away by foot"

"Better service before getting access to our rooms ..we had to wait 5 hours to get into our rooms. Cruise ships get in early to port; consequently, passengers arrive early at the hotel. Provisions should be made at least for handicapped people to get into their rooms."
"This was a great place to stay. Close to the trains, lots of restaurants and shops, the bus to the airport, everything. Great home base and the Godzilla head makes it easy to recognize the hotel. Check in and check out was smooth and easy. I found it a great value. I would stay there again."
"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."
"Travelled in Sept 26 and stayed 4 nights total. Location just Ok - I based my selection on Google maps and proximity to Shinjuku. Mistake. However, best breakfast experience of my travels in Japan."
"Great location… airport limo bus drops you at the door. Room is very clean and spacious I only wish bathroom was a separate room but not a game changer. Found it kinda funny that if curtain used to divide shower area/hotel room, then the person showering can be seen from anyone by the beds and vice versa because its a clear glads wall. Lol. Starbucks is at the ground floor and lots of food and 7-11 close by.. 10 min walk to Shinjuku station."
