"I had a great overall experience staying at APA Hotel Ryogoku. The staff was consistently friendly, helpful, and very accommodating to English-speaking guests, which made the stay much smoother and more comfortable.
One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its location. It’s just a short walk to the train station, making it incredibly convenient to get around Tokyo and explore different areas without hassle.
The only downside I experienced was related to the room temperature control. During the spring season, the system is set so that you can only adjust the heat, not the air conditioning. This made the room feel warmer than I would have preferred, and at times it was a bit uncomfortable for sleeping.
If you’re staying during this time of year, I’d recommend removing the key card from the slot when you leave to turn off the air system completely. This helps bring the room temperature down and makes it more comfortable when you return.
Overall, I’d still recommend this hotel for its excellent service and convenient location—just keep the temperature limitation in mind depending on the season."
