APA Hotel Machidaeki-Higashi

Location and cleanliness were okIf you’re traveling with a kid stroller, no path way for that. You have to lift it over the stairs. Limited waiting chairs (only 2). Telephone for lobby is not available, you’re welcome to go down and talk to the staff at the lobby if you need something

The lobby was nice. The rooms seem updated and clean, similar to a safe and upgraded Motel 6 in the US. It was nice that it seemed local people stayed there instead of just noisy tourists. Location was close to many shops and fairly close to the train station

The property could use an update, newer ceiling light, windows, hallways, washer/ vending machine, lobby bathroom. The motion detector hallway lights were distracting.

Room was pretty spacious compared to other APA hotels rooms I stayed at. Overall, had a pleasant stay.

There was an additional sink in the room but no hand towels. Bit of a walk from the station. Room was available at the time I checked in but still got charged an extra ¥1000 for checking in 30 mins before regular checkin time. Was hard to understand front desk staff’s Japanese.

Not much to like other than location

Dirty - Dust everywhere. These rooms must never be cleaned of dust other than basic surface clean. The aircon, under the bed, even the walls have dust clinging to them. It’s gross. The air exhaust in the bathroom is caked in dust. In common areas, it’s the same. The ice machine, shelves, everywhere is dirty. Old - this place is in dire need of a refurb. Pillows - 1 inch thick. Not kidding. WORST FAULT - The main light in the room, once you turn it off, bathes the room in a weird blue glow for hours. Anyone sensitive to light when sleeping is likely to struggle. From a Google search, it seems this is from really cheap CFLs. Book anywhere else. I’ve had to stay here a couple of times due to it being the only affordable place when booking at really short notice, but it’s best avoided like the plague.

APA is super affordable and the staff is always super friendly. I enjoy staying there, I know it isnt the best but for the price and value, it is good.

I do believe they could do better in dusting the place down. Under the bed, behind the TV, you will see dusty in a lot of those places. Allergies attacked up a little.

The room is spacious, the desk is wide and desk chair is comfortable. Thank you for the shower cap.

It’s a bit far from the train station, but there are many shops nearby.

The bed and bedding is very comfortable. The desk is wide and the desk chair is comfortable. The make-up sink space is nice and wide with good lighting. I like glass mugs for coffee and tea. My room was quiet.

Managing the water pressure for the bathroom sink is challenging. Also, since the floor is uneven, it is uncomfortable near the bathtub. Maybe a plastic plate could sit atop the drain area to make the floor even for your feet going in and coming out of the shower.

The hotel was short walk from the train. Everything was clean. Some staff were friendly. Overall, for a short stay, not bad.

Some staff were stand offish. The pictures on Booking.com didn't depict the actual size of the rooms. The breakfast was ordinary compared to the presentation pictures.

Near train station and surrounded with so many eating places and shopping malls

I had A breakfast there. It is a very small izakaya kind of place, but food was delicious, lots of variety. Room is good enough for a short stay, and easy reach from the station. You can actually find lots of interesting shops on the way to the hotel. I planed to use another APA hotel next day, so I became a member.

I arrived early to leave my luggage. I had to wait for 5 min to get an attention, even keep pressing a bell. The electricity switch to turn the room light is a bit far from the door, so when you leave, a moment you remove the card, you will be in the dark.

Overall everything was good except for the room smell.

I booked the non-smoking room, but the room was kinda have cigarettes smell, especially at night. I felt like I was suffocated.

Convenient location in the Machida area. Close to train station as well.

No microwave.

The hotel was very clean. Room service employees were very friendly. Check in staff was very friendly and greeted us every time we entered or exited the building.

I enjoyed that I could open the window and have fresh air. This is very important to me. The yukata was very nice cotton and comfortable. The location is excellent also - close to everything, and very quiet.

As a western visitor I would have liked the choice of a softer pillow in addition to the pillow provided.

I have not stayed there since Japan closed down from the pandemic. Everything was exactly like I remembered, great staff, great location, and clean place to stay.

I love the price and location, both of those things are great.

Room.size, bed

Bit old (restaurant, bathroom, reception area).and far from the station.

The location was wonderful. I think that it is a good place to stay if you are in Machida. The biggest thing was that the staff were professional. Also, I left something behind and they worked with me to get it back! Very good service. The bed was comfy as well. Also, the room was very spacious! I love that part of this hotel.

Pillows can be a bit softer and more plentiful, but I was told I could get new ones from the front desk. So that is all just a convenience thing.

The breakfast was tasty. I enjoyed the spacious room and the beautiful location. Also, it was fairly priced! I would do it again!

I thought my bed was a bit off, but that's because I like two pillows, and a bit softer in the bed department. Otherwise, it was fine.

clean, good location

construction was loud outside.

Bathroom was smell bad
