APA Hotel Yamanote Otsuka Eki Tower

I used the onsen area every morning and evening. It seemed to be more empty in the mornings and seemed to be used more by the women (you can see how full the onsen areas are by the symbols on your tv in the hotel room). I loved the onsen. The hotel is near the station, you have to walk uphill a bit with bags to get to the hotel, but it was easy to get to the train station after the hotel stay because that was downhill. Storing bags before and after my stay was easy with their QR code system. The staff provided new towels and yukatas every morning even when I didn't ask for them so there was never a shortage.

We enjoyed the location. Quick walk from the otsukaeki yamanote line. The area isn't as popular as shibuya, shinjuku etc so after a long day it's a chill walk to the hotel. Our room had nice views of the city and we could even see Mt Fuji in the distance!

Nice location, just 2 min walk to JR otsuka station which then connect you you everywhere in tokyo and Japan itself. Second time staying at this hotel after my autumn visit last year. Close to many eateries as well. Quiet and staff is very responsive. However one thing i don't like is that everyone can access your laundry if you are doing it. Need to closely monitor your clothes/inner wears. I had my clothes taken out from the dryer without my permission. So my privacy is compromised in this matter. Didn't encounter this the previous time I stay, guess it's the guest itself lacking some ethical manners. Staff quickly responded to my slight displeasure but there is nothing they can do, which is understandable. This is the only annoyance I had with the hotel. Other than that, highly recommended!!

This hotel was a great choice during my trip to Tokyo. The location is excellent, just a 3-minute walk from the JR station, with most tourist attractions accessible within 15-25 minutes by train. The room was spacious by Japanese standards, and the luggage storage under the bed was a practical addition that made the space more functional. The hotel also features an onsen on the top floor, and they provided stickers to cover my small tattoos, allowing me to use the facility without any issues. Other convenient amenities included a washer and dryer, as well as a Lawson right next door. The proximity to shops, cafes, and restaurants at the nearby train station was another advantage. Overall, this hotel offered a convenient and comfortable stay. I would choose it again for my next visit to Tokyo.

Location is superb. Situated a few meters away from JYamanote- Otsuka.
