Daily housekeeping is a great perk and on site laundry too. The breakfast is nice but a little pricey, however ..."

APA Hotel & Resort Midosuji Hommachi Ekimae Tower
"The hotel was too busy and the Lobby was always crowded. The room is too small for a double twin beds room and there isn’t a safety box in our room.. The breakfast was over priced and there are no compliments such as free juice, coffee or tea during the day. The location is quite convenient."
