"Amazing stay at this property! The property was clean, simple, and very convenient as it was merely a 5 minute walk to the nearest train station. The owner of the business personally took the time and effort to make our stay as enjoyable and accommodating. Breakfast was provided and there were plenty of restaurants and convenient stores nearby. The genuine hospitality and friendliness of the owner himself truly made this experience personable and one of kind. We definitely will recommend this...

"Room is great although the heating is not powerful enough to warm up the room on a cold day (5 Celsius degrees here), except that super friendly staff "

"This is the nicest one star hotel I’ve ever been in. I stayed in 3 star hotels that were not as nice. Great area but a little far from a train station. Very comfortable beds. And well priced "

"The hotel was very clean and the staff welcoming me very friendly. The room had a large luggage storage area and a small locker inside the bunk. The room I was in was in was on the top floor with no elevator so it was a little awkward arriving and leaving. Bunks were brand new built from wood and were a little noisy as they acted like a boom box for any neighbouring noise. Showers and toilets were perfectly clean and weren’t an issue for noise when sleeping"

"Overally a great hotel in a superb location. Only an 8 minute walk from Ikebukuro station.
The dining area was great. The restaurant was always buzzing and the food and drink options were good.
The weekly share a meal with someone from another country/culture is a great idea."

The Prince Park Tower Tokyo - Preferred Hotels & Resorts, LVX Collection
10/10 Excellent
"The room was bright, spacious, and kept perfectly clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our room offered a stunning view of Tokyo Tower, which made our stay even more special. Breakfast was not only delicious but also a delightful start to each day. Getting around was a breeze with easy transportation options. I truly wish I could have stayed a little longer to enjoy it all."
"I ran the 2026 Tokyo Marathon and this hotel was a 5-10 minute walk to the start line. The hotel is located near the train line and plenty of good restaurants. I suggest paying extra for the breakfast which offered a buffet and cooked to order American style egg dishes"
"The good parts:
The front desk staff were very helpful when I needed to call the airline on a local Japanese telephone number, allowing me to use the front desk phone without charge.
The location is convenient for this price point. There is an underground passageway from Shinjuku station straight to the hotel, open until 23:00. (Though difficult to find, looking for the entrance to the Shinjuku subway line should put you in the right tunnel)
There are convenience stores and restaurants in the same building.
Not so great stuff:
The rooms are small, even by Tokyo standards the space to move around the bed is tight.
The rooms are not even slightly sound proof. It sounds like they put up standard stud walls with simple plasterboard. You can hear people in other rooms talking, snoring and banging around.
They give you ONE low quality pillow upon checkin. You want more pillows? They put a small amount more in the corridor each day for first come first served. Reception simply tells you to check there.
The TV is the worst hotel TV I have seen in a long time.
The toilet is unnecessarily LOUD! Sit down? LOUD. Flush? LOUD. Refilling the tank? LOUD. I have never come across a toilet this unnecessarily loud.
The provide one medium sized towel and one hand towel. You can put a sign on the door to just provide a new set. But they will come in after 3 days, clean and remove any extras.
The laundry room is far too small for this size if hotel. It needs to be twice the size."
"Theres a lot of restaurants, convenient stores, landmarks, stations and shuttle from and to the airport (not operated by APA hotel but a different company its literally across the hotel located at Hotel Kabukicho Tower so it saves time specially if you have big luggages.) staffs are friendly and very helpful. Free Onsen and nice view! 100/100 recommend this location if you love convenience. Note: not the biggest rooms, but thats normal in japan. "
