What would I choose?
If most of this Tokyo trip is spent in Roppongi, I’ll include the APA Hotel Roppongi Station in the comparison. It’s very close to Exit 3 of Roppongi Station, making it an easy location for people who go shopping during the day and return to their rooms at night.
The room selection is straightforward: both single and double rooms are 11 square meters, which is good for those traveling light and staying just one night; if two people have large luggage or want to have room to sit and unpack in their room, they should compare the 22-square-meter Deluxe Twin. The hotel’s proximity to the station doesn’t automatically make the room feel larger.
First look at the advantages and the aspects that need to be accepted.
What attracts me
Located near Exit 3 of Roppongi Station, it’s a good location for trips centered around Roppongi.
- Both single and double rooms have 140cm beds, making it easy to book a short stay primarily for sleeping.
- If you need more space, you can compare the 22㎡ Deluxe Twin with two beds.
- The hotel offers breakfast sets such as buckwheat noodles; those who prefer a complete Japanese breakfast can check out the menu first.
- Think before booking
The choice between 11 square meters and a small bathroom is clear, and the two people should be prepared to take turns using the space.
- The general route and elevator route at Exit 3 are different; if you have luggage, you need to choose a different exit.
- Guests have different opinions on cleanliness. Upon entering the room, they first check the bed and bathroom, and address any issues promptly.
- Location and Transportation: Check the exit first if you have luggage.
The official route is from Exit 3 of Roppongi Station, then walk to the right for about 1 minute after exiting the station. This is an easy direction to remember when traveling light; however, if I arrive with a suitcase for the first time, I first need to determine whether I’m taking the Hibiya Line or the Oedo Line, and then find the appropriate elevator.
The Tokyo Metro Roppongi Station facilities information list includes elevators from the Hibiya Line platform to the Nishi-Azabu interchange and dedicated interchange; at ground level, one can take Exit 4a or the Roppongi Hills route, the latter marked 6:00–24:20. This is not the same route as the hotel’s regular Exit 3.
For those taking the Oedo Line, please refer to the Toei Station map. After exiting the station, you still need to walk to the hotel. If you require assistance with a stroller or wheelchair, I will first inquire with the hotel about the entrance conditions and arrange for the station elevators and hotel entrances to be separate.

This location is perfect for combining shopping, dining, and activities in Roppongi. If you want to drop off your things in the middle of the day and then go out for dinner later, staying close by is much more convenient than constantly transferring between different areas.
If you’re coming for a performance or specific event, check the transportation to the venue and the closing time before deciding where to stay; even if it’s called Roppongi, know which entrance you need to reach. Buy water and snacks for the next day before returning to your room so you don’t have to make another trip in the morning.
Room type and space: First find a bed that suits you.
Both single and double rooms are 11 square meters, with beds 140 centimeters wide. I would consider a single room as a place for one person to sleep comfortably; if two people are using it, they should accept that the space beside the bed, on the desk, and for unpacking is relatively limited, so don’t expect more space just because the name of the double room is used.
The Deluxe Twin is 22 square meters with two 122 cm wide beds. Friends or family traveling together who want to each sleep in their own bed, or those with a lot of luggage, can consider this option; the enlarged bathroom and amenities should also be compared to the actual room photos.
Specifications are based on the hotel’s official room information. The room type shown in the guest photos is the booked room type. Some guests have reported receiving different arrangements. The photos are only for observing the space during that particular stay and are not a guarantee for all rooms with the same name.
The deluxe twin room features two beds and a window seat.

The official check-in time is 3:00 PM and the check-out time is 10:00 AM. If I plan to leave early the next day, I will pack my suitcase the night before so that I can have more time after breakfast or check-out in the morning.
Guests mentioned that the counter staff were friendly, and some shared that luggage storage was handled electronically. When needing to store large or special items, it’s best to ask about the pickup method and time slot beforehand; keeping the pickup information on your phone will make it easier to retrieve your luggage later.

The Ginza Soba Shiraishi restaurant on the first floor offers three breakfast set menus, with a different pace from the buffet. Officially, it’s open from 7:00 to 10:00, with the last meal at 9:30. The price is 1,800 yen in advance and 2,000 yen on the day of purchase. The set menus vary depending on the option, including soba or udon noodles with mini fish rice bowls, or meat slurps, etc.
Those who enjoy a full Japanese meal in the morning can look at the menu first and then compare options that include breakfast. If you prefer to drink only coffee or want to leave breakfast at a restaurant outside, you don’t need to force yourself to buy additional food just because the hotel has a restaurant.
Below is a sample menu; actual ordering will be based on the restaurant’s menu on the day. Time and cost information is compiled from the hotel’s official information; those catching an early train or bus should confirm their availability beforehand.
Example of a set meal including buckwheat noodles, side dishes, and mini rice.
For a short stay for one person, who spends most of their time outside, an 11㎡ room is more acceptable. For two people staying together, there are more considerations such as where to put luggage each day, who uses the bathroom first, and whether they want to eat or work in the room; these factors have a greater impact on comfort than the first impression upon arrival.
Some guests found the room clean and the beds comfortable, while others felt the cleanliness and space were not as expected. Upon entering the room, check the sheets, bathroom, and the desk you need. If you find any issues, ask the front desk for assistance as soon as possible, rather than waiting until late at night to deal with them.
The large windows or individual tower views shown in the photos only represent the room at that particular time. If you are particular about the orientation, quietness, or view, please make your needs clear beforehand, and the hotel will arrange the room type that is available.
Finally, to whom would I recommend it?
I would recommend this to solo travelers who want to spend most of their time in Roppongi and want to get back to their room quickly after exiting the station. Memorizing the general route to Exit 3 and your elevator will help you avoid the minor inconvenience of taking the wrong exit while dragging your luggage.
If you’re traveling with two people or have a lot of luggage, compare the 11㎡ and 22㎡ rooms side-by-side before deciding whether breakfast is necessary. Accepting the layout of the space, choosing the right bed and the best layout for the flow of movement, usually makes it easier to feel comfortable than just looking at the name of the room.
