Tokyo Rikkyo University Hotels

"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."

"Stayed at this hotel with my partner and our 8 y/o daughter. Choosen based on proximity to the start of the Tokyo Marathon which I was a participant. Hotel and staff were fantastic, we booked two rooms and I emailed shortly before arrival asking if they could be close to each other and they gave us rooms next to each other. All the staff had a smile on their faces and were always happy to help. Rooms are not huge (but it's Tokyo!) but more than adequate and had a good sized wet room / bathroom. Walking distance to main Shinjuku station and a great base for sightseeing. And what's not to like about a hotel with a massive Godzilla Head!!!!"

"Close"

"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. "

"Great place to stay! Easy access to multiple train stations and Shinjuku is a great place to walk around!"

"Nice hotel"

"Clean room, nice staff, food nearby, shops nearby."

"Our entire experience with this hotel was phenomenal. The rooms were clean and the staff was extremely polite and helpful. Will come back here again"

"I’d stay here next time I’m in Tokyo! From the cleanliness of the hotel and professionalism and friendliness of the staff, to the convenience of the location just steps away from the JR Line, everything was perfect! Thank you for such an amazing experience."
