APA Hotel Shinagawa Sengakuji-Ekimae — Attraction in Tokyo

We've stayed at APA before and I think comparing it to the previous stays from different APAs in Tokyo, this hotel needs to take care of its facility a little bit more compare to the others. ||||The staff are nice, room is standard, location is not very bad considering it is literally just one min walk from the nearest subway station, but there are not many of food options around the hotel (I am talking about within 10 mins walking distance), so for better options, you will walk for 15mins - 20mins to the Shinagawa station. Also, there is NO SMOKING area is allowed within the hotel ground or anywhere nearby, so your best bet for smoking is in the Shinagawa Station area (they probably do have a smoking room, but my husband never smokes in the room, so...that's kind of an issue). However, one of my biggest disappointment is the public bath. ||||I have stayed at different Japanese business hotels (including different APA) before with a public bath available. The cleanliness of the bath is not very well maintained. I am not talking about the actual bath area, which is okay, but the common area where you change. Small, and occupied, and there is just hair everywhere on the floor, which I didn't understand why others could keep it clean so well, and this one doesn't. Also, it kind of bothers me how there is no locker room in there. You just have to put all of your clothing and things into the basket, which is again, not very well cleaned. Of course, they have a super small locker for your important things like room key and cell phone, but maybe just me feel uncomfortable to just leave everything in the not looking so clean basket in there. ||||This hotel opened in 2015, but they definitely need to do a better job of maintaining it. Same with the room, we are not expecting much, but things are definitely worning out inside. ||||Overall, I would say, it's a typical APA, but with the price I am paying, I may want to go to a...

I was happy and pleased with my stay at APA Hotel Shinagawa Sengakuji from 11-15oct. Quiet, away from the bustle areas and conveniently located. About 25 mins express train ride from HND airport(omg 🤔only ¥327, if you have a suica card in your iPhone app!), once reached Sengakuji Station, exit at A2 and on the left side, walk just 2mins to APA hotel! Nearest Yamanote train circle line only 5 mins walk from hotel @Takanawa Gateway. The station is also 1 stop away from Shinagawa. If you wanna go Ginza or Asakusa, take the same express train line from Sengakuji Station!

Check-in time is 3pm, if you arrive early.. can leave you luggage with them and come back later to check-in.. checkout time is 10am and if you wanna extend your checkout, every hour additional will be charge ¥2000 (starting in nov)! Likewise for checkout, you can leave your luggage with them and come back later when you decide to leave Tokyo for your later flight! On the right side of the hotel there is also some eateries and convenient store. The room is small, clean and cozy! I requested for a high floor and the view was beautiful! There are water boiler, fridge, coffe/tea sachets and a huge tv in the room. If you a huge-in-size person or travelling as a couple with many luggage might not be ideal. Solo traveller will definitely like the clean, small and cozy room! Hope the information helps..

Thank you APA hotel! I thoroughly enjoy my stay! Will come back again! ALwaYs LOve...

Edit: we stayed in the superior double room, and it fit two large couples/ adults just fine.

Great hotel. Love the area so close to 3 different stations! Sengakuji (around the corner), Tanakawa Gateway, and Mita Station a bit further down. 7/11 is super convenient, and many local eateries are nearby.

The room and bathroom were a bit too small, but it works! I love how they provide fresh towels every day and always clean the room every 3 room regardless of whether you ask or not. Do not leave anything in the fridge/freezer because the whole room turns off when you remove the hotel key from the slot. My ice cream melted :(

The spa/onsen was great and private. But don't believe the TV. I went when it showed the one person symbol, but there were a handful of others in there.

The laundry is on the 21st floor, and I believe the detergent is automatic. The view is always great!! There are only 2 sets of machines so please be wary of others! However, there is one set in the ladies' onsen/spa to use.

Check-in and check out were flawless! If you paid beforehand, they tell you to fill out the screen and scan your passport on the kiosk. You do this for every person staying in the room. For the express check out, you just put your room key in the slot. 10 mins before the check out, on the tv screen, you'll be given the option to extend your time there 1000 yen per hour up to 3 max...
