I had a comfortable stay at Apa Hotel Shibuya, thanks to its central location just a short walk from the famous Shibuya crossing. However, the room was quite small, making it a bit cramped for two people. The breakfast options were decent but repetitive after a few days. Overall, it’s a budget option that offers the essentials but has some drawbacks, like the single elevator that can be slow.

The location is one of the hotel's biggest perks, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. It’s about a 10-minute walk from Shibuya Station, so getting around town was super easy.

Breakfast was provided in the café on the second floor, with options like toast, jam, and eggs. While it was decent at first, it got a bit repetitive after a few days without much variation.

Facilities

The hotel has basic facilities but is lacking in extras. The dryer didn’t work well, and the lobby could feel congested due to the single elevator. Overall, the amenities were functional but could use some improvement.
