Apa Hotel & Resort Tokyo Bay Makuhari

“Longest checkin line ever”

The APA Hotel at Makuhari is massive, likely the largest I’ve seen, though I’m unsure how many rooms it has. The check-in process was awful. Even though it’s automated, having about a thousand people check in at the same time made it chaotic since they don’t allow early check-ins. It took me two ho… lisää

The APA Hotel at Makuhari is massive, likely the largest I’ve seen, though I’m unsure how many rooms it has. The check-in process was awful. Even though it’s automated, having about a thousand people check in at the same time made it chaotic since they don’t allow early check-ins. It took me two hours to get through, and the experience felt busier than most airports. On a positive note, the staff were polite, helpful, and stored my luggage without issue. However, the room was disappointing—small, dirty, and outdated. I could even hear someone coughing from the neighboring room, which made it feel poorly insulated. Although the room had all the basic amenities, the bathroom had mold on the walls, which was unpleasant. The location was convenient, especially with the expo nearby, though it was very crowded due to the event. I imagine it’s much quieter on weekdays. Overall, I appreciated the location and friendly staff, but the poor room quality and chaotic check-in process really detracted from my stay.

“Ok for a few nights”

APA Hotel is a decent business hotel very close to the Makuhari exhibition hall. The place is a bit run down and needs some refurbishment. I had a nice room in the 43rd floor (4301) with good view. over Chiba and the near seashore. Check-in was pretty annoying, some automized procedure for which assistance is needed if you are not Japanese. It took me more than 15’ after staying in line for almost half an hour. My room was ok, spacy with two beds and a separate chamber for suitcase and stuff. Rooms are well equipped, wetzone is ok. There is a nice bar with one million dollar view on 50th floor. Most negative point is a nightly visitor trying to enter my room one day around midnight. They obviously released my keycard to more than one guest. Not very good for a hotel..

“Sub Par compared to other APAs.”

Twin room this time, less space than a double room. Room allocated on arrival..No place to store baggage. Staff not as friendly with a much less personal service. The hotel was large, like entering a shopping mall. Lots of restaurants and shops on site, which is convenient if required. The washle… lisää

Twin room this time, less space than a double room. Room allocated on arrival..No place to store baggage. Staff not as friendly with a much less personal service. The hotel was large, like entering a shopping mall. Lots of restaurants and shops on site, which is convenient if required. The washlet was old, however the vents above the shower were spotless. The tap is old and it’s ‘broken’. You cannot part open/turn on the tap as it turns itself back off. It has to be fully open or off, which causes a lot of mess as the water comes flooding out
