Staff frequently described as kind and helpful at check-in, but several mentions of limited English and some chaotic reception operations lower the score slightly.

Consistently praised as an excellent, central Shinjuku location — convenient for shopping, dining and transit; a few notes about street noise at night did not outweigh the positives.

Many reviews call the rooms 'very small' with limited space for luggage and some AC control issues; this is the clearest negative theme across reviews.
Amenities
7.8
Rooftop onsen and large spa are repeatedly praised; some minor issues noted (vending machine out of order, clothes dryer performance) but overall amenities are a strong point.

8
Several guests explicitly state the hotel is very good value for the price, making value one of the stronger positives.
Food and Beverage
7.7
Breakfast is described positively by at least one guest ('typical breakfast is incredible'); otherwise limited mentions of F&B, so set near the target rating.
Overall Experience

Pros:

The room is quiet, bed is comfy, the location is great if you're looking for Shinjuku vibe. The staff is very helpful, breakfast meets expectations and matches the pictures.

Cons:

The laundry room is a bottleneck, especially the drying, which takes more time than expected. Three elevators aren't enough in the morning rush hours.

Wygodne miejsce w centrum akcji
Pros:

Znakomita lokalizacja - choć dla kogoś może być za blisko i za głośno. Codziennie świeże ręczniki, czyste wygodne łóżko, bardzo uprzejmy personel. W niewielkim pokoiku wszystko poukładane, dostępna woda do picia na korytarzu, w zasadzie wszystko, czego potrzeba.

Won't be back.
Pros:

The location, that's all.

Cons:

The nice young man on reception described our room as having an extra large bed, which normally means a queen bed. No such luck. the room was only 180cm wide, so the double bed was jammed sideways against the window, so akin to sleeping in a small caravan. It's a shame the APA facades and reception don't match the match box rooms.

Oltre le aspettative
Pros:

Posizione pazzesca! La fortuna è stata anche che l autobus collegato ad Haneda ha il terminal proprio sotto l hotel. Le camere sono dotate di tutto, perfino di doppie ciabatte, pigiama. Check in e check out veloce e automatico. Sfaff cortese sia l accoglienza. Il cambio asciugamani è quotidiano, non disturbano viene lasciato al gancio fuori la porta, idem se il cestino con spazzatura è pieno basta metterlo esterno. La pulizia interna ogni 3 giorni. Certamente lo valuterò anche per il futuro , la catena Apa qualità prezzo credo sia davvero alla portata di tutti.
P.s.
Il letto più comodo che abbia mai provato TOP (per me che ho problemi di schiena)

Cons:

Forse il bagno è troppo piccolo, ma nello standard del tipo di struttura a tokyo
