APA Hotels & Resorts runs dozens of compact, no-frills hotels across Tokyo, with rates that fit a tight budget. Most rooms are small but efficient, equipped with a semi-double bed, private bathroom, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a work desk. On-site dining is common-some offer buffet breakfast with Japanese and Western dishes-and all properties feature a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and daily housekeeping. Expect to pay around 8,000-15,000 JPY per night, depending on the district and season.
Location is the main draw. Stay in Shinjuku at APA Hotel Shinjuku Kabukicho Chuo or APA Hotel & Resort Nishishinjuku-Gochome-Eki Tower, steps from nightlife and transport. Akihabara's APA Hotel Akihabara Ekikita sits near the electronics district, while APA Hotel Roppongi Six places you close to nightlife and art. For a traditional vibe, APA Hotel Asakusa Kuramae is a 10-minute walk from Senso-ji Temple. If you want easy access to the Imperial Palace, APA Hotel Pride Akasaka Kokkaigijidomae is city-central. Top-rated for comfort (82-85 guest scores) are APA Hotel Roppongi Six, APA Hotel & Resort Nishishinjuku-Gochome-Eki Tower, and APA Hotel Akihabara Ekikita-all offer free Wi-Fi, private baths, and 24/7 service. Note that rooms are compact, typical for Tokyo's budget hotels, and some properties have paid parking.
