APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Eki Tower

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent
"this APA stands above the rest... i personally love the location because it's close to the Kokugikan and in a quiet area of Tokyo (on the other side of the Sumida river). Not sure i'd recommend this hotel for first timers (or newcomers to Japan) because it's a bit out of the way (not by much) and that may not be your thing. "
