🛏 My Experience
This was my first trip to Japan, and I stayed one night at the APA Hotel Pride. It turned out to be a great experience.
The hotel’s facilities are all brand new. The rooms are compact—as is typical in Tokyo—but comfortable and well-equipped for a short stay.
🛌 The Room
Though compact, the room offers all essentials for a short stay—including a comfortable bed, desk, and modern bathroom.
The room I stayed in was small but impeccably maintained. As the hotel is new, everything was in perfect condition.
It included:
-
A comfortable bed
-
A small desk (ideal for working)
-
A clean and functional bathroom
-
Essential amenities like a mini fridge, kettle, and toiletries
Despite the size, the room offers everything you need for a comfortable night’s rest.
