What People are saying
More maintenance and less revisionist history
Bomohon 07/08/2017 09:30This is the APA hotel group where every room has copies of the 3 books written by its ultra nationalist CEO completely twisting the history of WW2. You know the sort of rubbish; USA started the war, Japan committed no atrocities in China etc etc.
This CEO would be better occupied getting his hotel bathroom maintenance sorted out. The shower intermittently delivers hot and cold water. The bath doesn't empty efficiently. The shower floods the bathroom floor.
Room is OK although small. Aircon works well and close proximity to the railway station. Staff are OK except foreigners have to wait whilst Japanese are checked in first. Maybe that's a CEO policy too?
Small rooms, hard beds, friendly staff
Jeroen Bon 06/08/2017 10:50We stayed for two nights in the hotel as we wanted to visit the kurobe mountain gorge (which is awesome btw). We found the room very small. Especially since we were with two including two suitcases. I know everything in Japan is smaller than in Europe but it is something that has to be noted. The bed was a boxspring covered with a very thin topper. So prepare yourself for a hard bed.
The staff was very friendly and when we overslept passes our check out time they didn't charge us extra after explaining the situation.
Breakfast was good, nothing to special but all that you need.
In general I think that you can compare the APA hotels with the basic NH hotels that we have in Europe. You get what you pay for and that's all that you need.
Great location but quite small
Celestine Non 03/07/2017 16:14The location of this hotel was fab! Right across the train station, with convenience stores that are 1-2min away. (Do note that there's another hotel called APA Hotel Toyama Ekimae BEHIND the train station, and not to be confused with the VILLA HOTEL, as we got confused initially and went to the other one instead.) The staff were really friendly and polite and some could speak fluent English. However, the room was pretty small and there wasn't much walking space even with the luggage on the luggage rack. Nonetheless, we had a great stay at the hotel and would stay here again if we were visiting Toyama!
Friendly staffs

price : pretty cheap
breakfast : ok
room : ok
Too narrow for two
yuval_adleron 05/04/2017 13:29Two of us received a "double" room, but bed is rather semi-double, more suitable for a single. Clean, hard bed (which is good), fast wifi, and kind staff.
Location is right in front of Toyama station, and there are some restaurants around. Breakfast was just fine, but not that special.
