Toshima, Tokyo hotel rooms at the APA Hotels

"This was my first time ever staying at a 4-star hotel in Tokyo, whereas it’s been in my experience as a solo traveler moreover to resort to places where a public onsen is offered on-site and perhaps a gym too, for the amenities. The Metropolitan Hotel Ikeburo was quite a phenomenal hotel for the standardized room size unexpectedly. The room chamber upon entry was greatly spacious with a Japanese double-sized bed with lots of pillows, a built in sitting bank lining the window with overhead lighting and pillows, plus a very heavy round marble coffee table next to it. An oversized TV screen was situated directly over the built in desk with drawers for a coffee maker and mini-fridge to either side. The architectural interior design was aesthetically a French-inspired curvilinear wood and canopy woodworking throughout the room’s layout. Replete in deep teals, greys, and lighter greyed wood features. The bathroom was medium sized, larger than many smaller hotel units designed for single occupancy. With a clothes closet next to the bedside. Pros: ‘Great’ for one person. Cons: Not enough space for luggage, especially between two travelers occupying the same room. Hotel amenities such as a full sized gym was highly exceptional for athletes of all ages. However, the pool too small for most any visitor there at the hotel, only being a 25-meter two lanes 4-5 foot deep swimming run. Not very amenable with the number of individuals allowed at any given moment on the spot. No Onsen "

"One of our favourite stays, this hotel is so well located above Sunshine City. Great rooms and I was lucky and had a high floor with a view of Fuji."

"Very pleasant stay. This is a very convenient neighborhood for me when I come to Tokyo and the hotel is extremely convenient - right next to the JR line and the Tokyo Metro line. Clean, well kept, more spacious room than usual. Surprisingly quiet. Supplies you can choose yourself rather than stuff being brought to you that you don’t need. Courteous staff. I would gladly stay here again. Thank you!"

"We had a week stay! What stood out the most was having amenities dropped off every other day. Fresh towels along with toothpaste and cleansing cloths. Staff was respectful."

"The food selection for the breakfast buffet is great. "

"Clean and comfortable room, staff more friendly"

"Very clean, nice front desk team "

"Room was spacious. Love the residential home where I can cook and use the microwave. Also the washing machine was a life saver. Highly recommend and location is easy to navigate. The only down side is that house cleaning cost money. Should be included but I see why for ‘residential’ purpose. "

"The room was remarkably clean, and we found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and genuinely helpful. Compared to other options available at a comparable price point, this room was quite spacious."
