Take a room with a view of the bay. You will not forget the night scene. I stayed in a room beyond 40th floor and the view was just fantastic. The cars crawling below looked like glow-worms. The morning view is lovely and one can go for walk along the beach. Unforgettable. Breakfast is sumptuous though a little costly. Stick to continental part as the Japanese dishes may not be palatable to all.
I found this hotel last minute for my week stay in Tokyo on Agoda for what I thought was a great price $880AU for 7 nights. Easy direct shuttle bus from Narita Airport for 900 Yen. I was travelling with my partner and we booked a twin room uncertain of the size of the beds in a double room. Whilst there is little room for storage of suitcases we managed to put ours under the table and put our clothes out daily on a chair. There was a large tv but only Japanese programs. They Provided new toiletries of toothbrushes and hair brush and razors each day. Shampoo, Conditioner and body wash was also provided. Beds were made up daily but sheets changed every 3 days - on days bed sheets not changed we were given a bottle of water. Good location for Disney - with a direct bus home from Maihama Station at 8.30 and 10pm each evening taking 30 mins. Getting there is a little more less direct with a free shuttle to the train station and then a cost of 300 Yen to Maihama which is about 30 mins away. We chose to have breakfast at the Train station each day for about 600Yen (pancakes and coffee) as there was little choice at the hotel without paying $20 each. This hotel is also only 1000 yen in a taxi to the AEON Mall which was good for shopping. Or you could catch free shuttle bus to train station and then catch bus for 100 Yen to the Mall (and Costco is there too). I personally didn't use the Baths but My partner did and there are 3 in the hotel. There are 2 Lawson stores (convenience stores) and there is a microwave provided on the 2nd level. We ate most evenings at the Café with Woodfired Pizzas but the hotel did have other restaurants. We unfortunately were booked into a smoking room and fortunately the smell wasn't too bad but was noticeable when you exited the lifts that we were on a smoking floor. As the check in is done by a kiosk it was hard to ask someone if it were possible to change though.
Had a great price via booking.com. $48/night including all taxes. Now this is where they get you. At that price, you are probably getting one of the TINY rooms on the new West Wing. That was fine for me as I wasn't going to be hanging out in the room for any time since I was attending a busy conference. From that perspective, location is great as the west wing was directly connected via covered bridges to the Makuhari Messe conference center - as close as I could get. Downside is everything is a la carte. Breakfast was decent, but avoid busy hours. Still about $20 USD. Central tower is the tallest building in the area. No cover to visit, but light food and drinks are more typically Japanese priced. Worth it though. Checking in is interesting as well. 100% kiosk based with humans avail to help. Went smoothly, but makes it harder to 'negotiate' for an upgrade. :-)
The APA Hotel & Resort is in Chiba! I stayed three nights in the east wing of this hotel, because it is a good and cheap location for Disneyland. The hotel is just 10 walking minutes away from Kahimmakuhari Station. Within 20 to 30 minutes with the Keiyo Line of Kahimmakuhari Station to Maihama Station (Disneyland) for 310¥. 1. Hotel: + a lot of restaurants (not too expensive) in this hotel + a large japanese bathroom + great breakfast buffett with japanese food, bread, american breakfast, muesli and cornflakes, espresso machine and a lot more +/- a pool but not really clean - I arrived in the middle of the night with heavy luggage and entered the lobby but I got just ignored from the staff -> obviously everyone saw that I needed some help. +/- confusing online check in, but I got some help + check out at 11 AM: you just have to throw your key card in a box and you can leave 2. Room (don't be surprised of the room size, it is standard, to get small rooms in Japan) + a lot of fascilities e. g. coffee and tea, hairdryer, shampoo etc. + yukatas and slipper + large, soft, cosy bed + the free wifi is incredible fast, never had problems + nice bathroom + it is possible to open the window (sth. what I always miss in big hotels) +/- a huge TV BUT forget about the channels (just basic) - you can buy a movie card for 1.000¥ - surfaces were not properly cleaned - housekeeping just available when you stay more than 2 nights Overall this hotel is a goid value for your money - compared to other hotels in and around Tokyo.
I was in Tokyo for an extended period, just happen to hit the Cherry Blossom season and the room prices went skyrocketed to the moon. Since I have to visit some site near Chiba, decided to stay here for 11 days. If you walk from JR station, it will take about 15 min. Hotel has onsen spa in different towers (three towers total), they also have a varieties of restaurants offers something for everyone, from inexpensive pseudo Italian, Japanese lunch set to tepanyaki fine dinning and buffet. Apa is notorious in offering the smallest possible room that is slightly better than capsule hotel. In this case, I was lucky to get a two beds room so I could lay out my luggage in one of them. There is a convention center, and a wedding venue attached to the hotel, when it gets busy, it is very busy. Also many cheap tour groups camp out here as well. The check-in is a bit funky, they have an automate machine you have to use, this is with terrible English instructions. A bit of a struggle and eventually your room key is spit out of the machine and you are on your way. \
The hotel is located bout 30 mins out from tokyo by taking the train. the train is about a 5-7 min walk from the hotel. if your carrying a lot of luggage like my cousin and i were after our flight then you may want to take a taxi as japan is hot. otherwise it is a perfectly pleasant walk. The hotel is a nice option for being close to tokyo but not right in the thick of it. like anywhere in japan the rooms are small but reasonably priced. There are a few restaurants in the hotel and they do have dry cleaning.
Booked a 3 bedroom suite for our 3 day stay and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was quite spacious, clean and very comfortable. We had a nice view of the bay area and the service was good as well. The entire area from the hotel is connected by bridges to the nearby malls which made it easy to walk around especially from the train station. In addition to that, there is a shuttle bus provided by the hotel to the nearest train station.
We booked 2 x triple rooms in the central tower at less than $80USD/night. The rooms were very large (compared to any other APA hotel, or Japanese hotel in general). Evrything was clean and very functional. The hotel has a great array of dining choices from $5/meal (conbini) to$15+. Also a great Onsen, hot spring bath. Washing machines available and function really well. Door to Door to Disney in under 25 minutes. Very convenient and we loved it.
A perfect place for whoever going to Makuhari Messe because there's a direct bridge. Nearby AEON has a Sakura park in front of it. Not too far from Disneyland as well. Distance from hotel to closest station which is Kaihin-Makuhari station is about 15 minutes walk. Double room is too small even for a couple and a baby.
It is a large hotel just opposite side of Makuhari Messe convention center. You take 10minutes walk to reach hotel from JR Kahin Makuhari station but depends on your walking speed. Hotel provide free shuttle from train station too. Room we stayed was very small and I could not open my suitcase but they provided a lot of nice amenity goods in room. Car park was not provided as free to hotel guest but gave discounted rate JPY1000. Main tower rooms are getting old and we recommend you to stay at East wing and West wing. But view from Main Tower is fantastic. Area is very convenient to find any dining and shopping.
