I did a lot of research when choosing where to stay in Tokyo, as we were on quite a strict budget but we wanted to be central as possible. I came across APA hotels during my research and quickly realised they are based right across Japan, which refers to itself as the 'new urban style hotel'. I booked our accommodation in Japan in advance which I think helped get a good deal.

We stayed for 6 nights at the APA Hotel Hanzomon Hirakawacho costing us £365.00 in total, which worked out to around £30.41 each per night which worked for our budget. The hotel is noted as three stars.

The Lobby

The APA hotel Hanzomon Hirakawacho hotel lobby is modern and clean and will store your luggage for free if you arrive before the check in time. The staff were helpful and polite. There was a bit of a language barrier but it didn't cause any problems and still got all of the information we required. There are lifts which are handy for travellers who have heavy baggage.
