The train station is close by and plenty of convenience shops around. Staff spoke english. Rooms were clean. Only issue, is the room is TINY. No space to open a full size suitcase.

I was here to see KISS and my buddy was staying down the road. I always stay in Shinjuku and tis is the first time in years I have stayed anywhere different. This was my third or fourth trip to Tokyo this year and I was only here for 2 nights. Tokyo business hotels are great if you know what to expect. Small, functional rooms, made for sleeping and showering. No frills. Had a single room which had a small double. Flooded the bathroom floor both times I used the shower (entertaining). I didn’t book breakfast. I went to a coffee shop up the road. There are some cute izakaya if you turn left out of the hotel and a number of convenience stores within a stones throw in either direction. Walking distance to subways. Can help with takkyubin of your luggage. Would stay here again for a short stay.

“Compact/Functional Style Hotel”

APA hotels are almost in every location in Tokyo, strategically situated near metro stations, they have a check in machine so that you can reduce waiting time, but have staff at front desk to accommodate you. Hotel room is small, a bit cramped, they do this to help reduce carbon emmissions but in my opinion, it is a bit too small for 2 people to freely move inside, especially if you are also travelling with kids. They make up with the lack of space by maximizing functionality, all toiletries are provided, comb, shavers, you name it. Their shower has very good heater and the toilet bowl is very techy, you only need to push the buttons for bidet. Cool tech and advanced. It is a very major plus points for me, most of all their effort to exercise and educate people on segregating plastics vs biodegradable waste. They also give you an option to reward you with a bottle of mineral water if you opt not to have your bedding linens changed on make up room requests. Our booking didn't come with breakfast but not to worry, they have convenience stores nearby like Family Mart, 7/11 and Lawson. Their staff can communicate english fairly well. There's a laundry machine and dryer in the hotel for 100 yen per use. Wifi works quite well, tv cable options that have english language are news channels only like cnn, if you want you can pay for other programs. They are very trusting, i hope people don't abuse it..you can leave your hotel card on the drop box at the front desk if you are leaving early. Japanese staff are very polite, on time and dedicated. All in all (besides the space) I recommend this hotel.
