APA Hotel Midosuji Hommachi Ekimae

Proximity to Hommachi Station

Couldn’t ring for a taxi for me - I had to wait outside and try to hail one - not many on the road at this location. Arrived at 7:30am, told no room ready to comeback at 12 pm. I did so, the room was ready but I had to pay 6000 yen extra as it wasn’t 3pm.

It was very clean.

The room size.

Transportation is excellently convenient. Room is clean and service here was nice. It was a considerably good spot for hotel as well, since it was close to the metro station. The neighbourhood is quiet, except there will be some car rushing around in the middle of the night.

The only downside of the room is it being too small. I could not even properly sit at the table with the chair provided. Also the fridge was off by default. I did not noticed that before the ice pop melt completely.

The location of the hotel was only about 3 minutes walking from Hommachi Station. Very easy to find. However, I actually went to the wrong branch first, so I would advise being extra careful so you don't waste your time. The staff were sweet. Some spoke English well while others used a talking translator. Either way, I felt their effort, so I really appreciate their service as well.

The room itself was cozy and quaint. I didn't mind the size but as I saw in other reviews, the cleanliness wasn't the best. First, it was a bit dusty and the bathroom has a "bathroom" smell (it's kind of common in Korea too but I don't love it). Even though this is a budget hotel, I did expect the tub to be cleaner. I sanitized everything myself because I found hairs in the tub. Also, I'm not sure if it was dust or the air vents themselves but the air quality wasn't the best in the room either.
