APA Suceeds Again”

Overall, my stay at APA Hotel Sugamo Ekimae was excellent. It was near two convenience stores, a McDonald's for breakfast in the mornings with my traveling companions, a good Karaoke joint and other good restaurants, and close to the JR and subway stations. Great, huge TV; soft, good bed, and the spa is something I always look forward to when reserving APA hotels in general.

Awesome Underrated Location”

Seriously great location! Japanese friends were surprised when we said we were staying in Sugamo, because it isn't the usual spot tourists stay. But the price was so much better than the more popular areas, and it's only a 4 min walk to the station that is a Yamanote Loop station so you can commute all around Tokyo! Only 15 mins to the east or west sides of Tokyo (Shinjuku etc). Hotel was comfortable, clean, bed big enough for a tall couple (185cm + 175cm). Sento (public bath) on the top floor was super cool and great to have to ease the muscles after a big day of walking. Room had enough space for us to pack our bags to leave Japan and was adequate for our 1 week stay there. Highly recommend! Sugamo is also an awesome area and shops are pretty cheap as it's the 'old people' part of Tokyo. A big shopping street is just over the road of the hotel. Definitely staying here again in the future!

This is a worth stay”

I booked a non-smoking twin room. The hotel is not located in the popular area so I can rest after shopping really well plus the hotel is so close to the station just 1-2mins walk from Sugamo station and so easy to go to other where else in Tokyo cause Sugamo is in Yamanote line(the loop line that run around Tokyo in a circle, pass many tourist attraction and able to transfer to other line and subway easily) The room was cozy and looks chic. And there's many sockets!! 2sockets on the bed wall, 2sockets on the dressing table, 1socket under the mini refridgerator and 1sockey in the bath room. There is 2 convenience stores around (7-11 and Family mart), 24hours food shop nearby and also Matsumoto kiyoshi, a drug store for cosmetics shopping. The JP post office is right next to the hotel, this place you can withdraw your money(most of JP post office have an ATM corner(actully the post office is red but if there's a ATM it'll be a green sign next to the red one), I reccommend to use because the exchange is lower than other banks(a fee is cheaper than using ATM in 7-11 or lawson too) and easy to find. The staff are so helpful, after check-out they can keep your luggages till 9pm on that day.

Highly recommended for those having JR pass since location is 3mins walk from Sugamo JR station. You will have access around many main street shops & restaurants under yamanote line including Tokyo station as well as Narita airport transfer from nippori station - one of JR mrt line. Due to last minute hotel booking I think I've got paid for higher price specially I took two rooms for the family of 4 including kids. Otherwise hotel price I think is highly valued for money spent. I will not hesitate to comeback in this hotel the next time I come back in Tokyo. You can do your laundry and heating oven available at selected floors. The whole building is nicely designed due to open space in the middle of the building inspite of small rooms/spaces which is normal in Tokyo. You don't feel lock up in small confined space yet creates good ambient specially cold aircondition is normaly turn off during the winter season. Just open the door or window a little bit then cold air ventilates the room.

Great Location and the neighborhood is awesome”

staying at APA Hotel Sugamo Elimae for several times; really like its location/ service/ amenities. (hot spring on the top floor is very clean!!) very close to JR station and it is convenient to switch to train to the airport as well!! The neighborhood is clean/ safe and has supermarkets/ restaurants in 5 min waking distance. Truly recommend APA Sugamo!!

Good and Convenient stay”

We had a good 5 nights stay at APA hotel Sugamo Ekimae. The location is near subway and easy access to everything. They had a functional room though it is small. The staff are very accomdating and helpful. I wil recommend this place to my friends who wants to visit Tokyo.

Location, Location, Location”

If you're coming in/getting out through Narita airport, and if you will be using JR Yamanote frequently, then the hotel is almost perfect. Take the Skyliner to/from Nippori station; Sugamo, the station closest to the hotel, is just a few stops and 7mins from Nippori on JR Yamanote train. You can get to many major destinations in Tokyo by taking the JR Yamanote line. The hotel is less than 5mins walk from Sugamo station.

Good location, adequate amenities”

The hotel is two short blocks (about 2mins walk) from the JR Yamanote line. If this line is your main reference point, then APA Sugamo is most convenient. More than adequate amenities (toothbrush, slippers, comb, vanity pack, coffee, etc.). For the environment conscious guests, the hotel has less single use plastic for shampoos, etc. I still wish the hotel would provide at least two big pillows for a nice restful sleep.

Awesome hotel!”

I had a great stay while at the hotel. The room's size was small just like many other hotels / rooms in Japan but they got complete amenities inside the room, and the one thing that made me love this hotel is the onsen! Had a great relaxation after going out for a whole day because apparently the facility open until 2AM! The location was a bit far from Tokyo but I spent the whole day outside the hotel, so it wasn't a problem for me. Really close to JR Sugamo station only 2 min. walk as for the subway less than 1min. Lots of restaurants around the hotel including one of the most famous sushi chain in Japan, Sushizanmai that open for 24hr! Really recommend it! I might stay here again!

Value for money”

Clean, comfortable, a short walk (2-3 minutes) from JR Sugamo station which is part of the Yamanote line, and just across the Mita line- where you can access Tokyo Tower. The Hotel staff are all very friendly and helpful. Public Onsen is clean, Rooms are well kept. Best value for money. Some recommendations: Please give us the option to cool our room, even during the fall season. It was scorching hot in our room and our a/c didn't work. We had to open the windows to cool ourselves, even when the temperature outside was reaching 20 deg celsius.

Super close to metro and JR stations as usual ”

Easy access to metro and JR stations and just a few stops from major stations like Ueno and Ikebukuro. Lots of restaurants around the hotel. Post office right next door so very convenient for those who need to send boxes back home after shopping ! But as with all other APA, rooms are very small and sugamo location is not very central.

conveniently located and value for money”

the hotel is well situated within 5mins walk away from JR sugamo station along the yamanote line. there are many good eateries around the hotel area as well with a few being 24hrs. the hotel facilties are adequate and the staff are friendly as well. overall, had a very pleasant stay here when i am in tokyo.

Nice and travelling efficient place to stay”

Nice place to stay and make your travelling to Tokyo efficient and effective... The Hotel is very near to Sugamo Station (2 min walking). The room is clean, nice, bathroom is clean and perfect (the drinking tap water, warm shower, warm and clean closet). Small space is a regular condition in Tokyo but good value of money.

Good location ”

This hotel is very near to Sugamo Station probably 2 minutes , their is a lot of restaurant nearby this hotel , this hotel provide a cool onsen to their customers , I really enjoy my stays in this hotel for a couple of days , will come back if I visit Tokyo in future

Sugamo”

First time in this part of the city, APA Sugamo is very pleasant, nice clean room. highly recommend. con: bed a bit too soft, pillow way too thin. pricy breakfast and not much selections. Will definitely return.

Good budget hotel. Brand new. Near JR Station. ”

Travelled with young kids. Only 2 stops away from Ikebukuro station (Sunshine City) where you can find the Mega Pokémon Center, Sunshine Aquarium, SEGA Amusement Center. McDonalds across the street from hotel. Good gyoza restaurant across from Sugamo Station. Nice grocery store and Delifrance bakery in train station. From Narita. Take Keisei Skyliner to Nippori then transfer to the JR Yamanote to Sugamo Station. Hotel is only about 200m away from train station.

Good Price and Nice Staffs”

This deal I got from Agoda for APA was good value for money. Please APA keep your price moderate and your overall service good. Get maps in English. Location is convenient, since is close to the JR station Sugamo for those with JRPass and the service is good. Plus you get a hot tub bath

4D3N stay was great :)”

Hotel located near train station sugamo. Within about 5 mins walk along the main road. Location is not that noisy compared to the shopping district and is easily accessible to everywhere. There's few drug stores, and restaurants nearby - even a 24 hours sushi store is just 100m away. No need to worry about food at night for supper foodies! Mac's just directly opposite then hotel. Room was bigger than expected since most of the hotels in japan can only offered 12-13sq rooms. Toilet with bathtub, was a little cramp, but however the beds seems to be bigger than single size. Perhaps super-single? It was really soft and comfy, but pillow is super flat down. On 14F, there is a public bath for both males and females respectively. Do give it a try:) Overall a pleasant experiences with APA hotel group :) Worth the price :)

Provide anything you need”

Good location, very near to both JR and subway station. Near to ikebukuro area where you can get Airport limousine bus to Haneda Int.Airport. Or you can directly go to Narita Int.Airport by Narita Express from Sugamo JR station. The room so clean though its small but its not a problem for me. You will have many options to eat or just hangout in coffee shop. 1 minute to Seven eleven, Family mart, drug store, McDonald. You can have free onsen on the top floor. You will not hear noisy voice from your neighbour because i believe the building construction is very good. A lot of positive things from my experience staying in this hotel. Love it so much!

All the staffs deliver the best efforts and support”

APA Sugamo located in a really convenient place, with tokyo metro and JR around, which is a good place for a traveler to stay.
