Is this accurate? Its saying toyoko is better than APA. I cant stand toyoko the breakfast sucks and it feels like you are an unwanted guest. Only had good experience with APA they even opened the breakfast buffet 4 minutes early one day.
All Japanese "business hotels" are the same. The concept is the same, the tiny cramped rooms are the same, the food is the same, and the complete lack of meaningful benefits (breakfast buffet, early checkin/late checkout) is the same, as are the Japanese working stiffs who have to suffer in these constantly complaining.The only difference is Toyoko is retarded and don't vary their prices according to demand, APA does the opposite and does extreme variations in price based on demand. At the end of the day, no self-respecting leisure traveller is staying in this category because there is nothing enjoyable about any of it./t. working stuff who stays in Four Points Flex by Sheraton (Japanese business hotel chain flagged like a Sheraton but two levels down, if we understand Four Points as a Sheraton without service, Four Points Flex is without service AND space)
>>2912049For trips longer than two weeks I just rent an apartment for a month, its 1500 to 2k usd for a month, two weeks at a business hotel during the times I usually go is also 2k. So there you goWhen I do hotels I exclusively use APA, partially because I like doing what I know and can expect will be good and partially because if you look up japanese hotels on google youll find redditors seething about APA for denying muh war crimes and being nationalistsTheres no point fussing about "good experience" at a hotel. It just needs to be clean and quiet. You should only ever be in your hotel room to shit shower or sleep
>>2912050the worst thing about APA is their mandatory 3 day room cleaning policy. as a degen neet who sleeps all day that filters me pretty hard.for the price i honestly think tabist had by far the the best room size to price, the only downside being it was a smoking hotel in everything but name.dormy is easily the best though if price isnt a consideration.>>2912054i've been burned by homestays so many times tbqh i think i simply prefer hotels now. so many houses have completely retarded floorplans/ shit amenties/ shit heating/ ac and paper thin walls on top of being at least an extra 20 minutes from transit lines
>>2912056Oh yea I absolutely dont do homes or airbnbs. Ive had the exact same experience. Short term Im hotel only. Long term Im talking about formal short term apartments. Lookup up hmelt Japan. Its like an actual brand new apartment you can rent from 1 month to a few years and all sort of locations The mandatory cleaning is how you know some brown third worlders next door dont shit up the place
Tokyu Stay has in-unit washer/dryer which is honestly amazing, saves so much time than needing to go downstairs and keep an eye on your clothes in the shared washer/dryer room in other hotels. Just set it and it's done when you come back to your hotel that night.
>>2912049I love the onsen/sento at Dormy and some APAs. It's such a great amenity for a low-cost hotel.
Business hotels are fine just know that:checkout time is usually like 10AM, can be annoyingrooms are smaller, beds are smaller, mainly meant to shit/shower/shaveamenities are focused on just getting you to sleep and back to workAPA's are nice I just hate the cleaning crews at times
>>29120542k a month in Japan is going to be decent and high end, are you doing something dumb like using arbnb and paying 30% more for no reason here?i've negotiated with hotels and they're usually quite reasonable for monthlys>>2912056>i've been burned by homestays so many times tbqh i think i simply prefer hotels nowI stayed in this 3 floor apartment complex with self check-in, a unit on each floor and these fucking Filipinos kept setting off the fire alarm multiple times, it was unreal how dumb they were, I'd be knocking on the door and they wouldn't answer despite the alarm system clearly saying it's them. Had the fire brigade turn up twice in full kit because the alarm was inside their apartment and they didnt know how to turn it off so the Japanese fire brigade guys thought the entire building was going to go up in flames, it happened another night after that and they just didn't turn up lmao. Thirdies simply don't understand the concept of fire alarms and burn shit in the kitchen like they're at home.
>>2912095What happens if you leave at 10:05? Can you not ask in the lobby for late checkout?
>>2912120>$2k a month is high end$2k a night maybe.
Has anyone read the revisionist history in the APA rooms?
>>2912049> 1.5 star hotel breakfast enjoyer
>>2912130Monthly rentals for a 1 bedder in fucking Shibuya are like $1k a month mate, thanks for paying the gaijin tax I guess but you're retarded.
https://wagaya-japan.com/en/monthly/tokyo/shibuya-ku/list/?upperprice=400000&room_kei=1&sort=2Am I wrong?
>>2912049APA has better porn
>>2912122In my experience they don't do late checkout at all and will just passively aggressively bully you via phone calls to vacate the room constantly a mere minute late.Japs are obsessed with being on time and any type of exception just doesn't fly.
>>2912178I'll revise this actually, some places will do late checkouts but they want like 40% the room rate per hour so you may as well just get another day there past 2 hours, it's weird but how they roll.
>>2912176actually true
>>2912172Maybe if you stay in a fucking hostel you retard
>>2912176Why is that important retard?
>>2912204I literally the posted the link for $1k apartments in Shibuyu here dumbass: >>2912173I haven't stayed in a hostel for a decade, I just hang out in their bars upsetting all the zoomers kek
>>2912233And to continue my tirade I paid $600 for a nice monthly apartment in Osaka with a cute young Vietnamese cleaner who changed my sheets and washed the kitchen and I still think about how nice she was.$2k of rent goes a long way in Japan, if you're staying in hotels sure, but once you stay long enough its damn cheap to get a monthly rental unless you are too autistic to ask the hotel for a deal, fuck I pay more for accommodation in Thailand than Japan these days. I get that burgers with their 14 days a year of holidays will never understand this concept but it's true
>>2912049Last time i stayed at the Washington hotel in Akihabara, would recommend 100% to fellow autists.1 The desk is at the 3rd floor or something, so you never meet the staff, you go to your room meeting no one, they don't scan your comings and goings2 it's literally accross Akihabara station3 TRAINS, from your room you have a view of the yamanote line
>>2912241view from the room
>>2912241>>2912243I stayed a few nights near the train line and there was something so comfy about it. They weren't even loud, I kept my window open all night and never noticed. Near the main roads nah, the motorbike gangs are nuts and intentionally loud.
>>2912241I probably can't afford this. I booking on booking more expensive than going there or calling?
>>2912173>claims there are easy 600 USD apartments in Shibuya>posts a link showing about 190k yen which comes to about 1200 USDThat's double your claim.>>2912235>$600 for a nice monthly apartment in Osaka with a cute young Vietnamese cleanerHow did you find that? Teach me your ways ;_;
>>2912308Oh whoops I'm retarded. I just woke up.You claimed 1k apartments not 600 hehe durpdurp
>>2912308>How did you find that? Teach me your ways ;_;Not that anon but Osaka is huge, you can easily get 600/mo down by Tennoji station
>>2912308These hotels are popular with backpackers, but they don't offer housekeeping services. https://www.chillnn.com/ja/177703846ceab/plan/17a002f8d132dfhttps://www.hotel-fukusuke.com/info/longstay.html
>>2912308I think you need to read again esl-kun I said $1k in Shibuya and my link sorts by most expensive first.Pic related is me going full lazy mode and using dumb sites like Agoda to prove a point about osaka because youre too fucking lazy to do it yourselfLook at the actual monthly rental site posted above if you plan to do this, you'll get a better place, found a massive one bedroom apartment with two king beds for about 600, incredibly peaceful street too
>>2912309I'm too dumb to have seen this also and only read the first comment lmao.Still think about that cute Vietnamese cleaner, its fucks with my head, she was so sweet to me. Was there maybe 3 days a week as other people came and went but always offered to wash things for me which I'm not even sure she needed to do. "oh you are so clean anon, you even wash your towels", shit like that.In hindsight I think she liked me but I'm too fucking stupid to pick up on it like a complete autist.
>>2912343There's an ADORABLE little woman who works at the grocery store by my current room and she went out of her way to appear out of nowhere and take over handling my stuff instead of the other woman who was already ringing me up at the time.I NEED another chance to talk to her but today I saw she was there ringing up someone else and some man decided to call me over to his checkout instead as she was busy and he wasn't ;_; I'm so disappointed.
>>2912338>Shibuya for under 1k>what hotel? how>posts hotels in osakayou are a dumb nigger
>>2912398For fucks sake you utter fucking retards click the link above showing monthly rentals in Shibuya sorted by most expensive firstI was talking about Osakako as an aside because I like it there
>>2912414There is nothing luxurious about what you linked.
>say $2k gets you high end>also say you can get $1k with average Jap apartments>retard who can't into reading still complainsJust get a grip and deal with it dickhead, you clearly aren't capable on English comprehension so listen to the people who are.
None of you Russian bots even travel do you? It's just demoralization posts all the time and pure deflection when you get called out for it.
>>2912173Can anyone experienced tell me how come is this one so cheap? https://wagaya-japan.com/en/chintai_detail.php?id=4160089
>>2912509>zoning laws means super cheap housing>half a suburb is empty anyway>population going downIf you actually spend time in these places it makes a lot of sense
>>2912424I never said it was luxurious though. I said $2k will get you luxury in Tokyo, something for $1k will get you average accommodation. For fucks sake mate learn to read you utter fucking retard. Clearly some deranged esl thirdworlder, not even a bot is this stupid.
>>2912513Be careful, anon. So much stress will give you a heart attack!
>>2912513Anon the link you provided are all over 1K USD, they all require an admin fee, utility fees on all of them are insane (25k/yen? a month lmao), and insurance+more. Like really bro? Just say you made shit up.
>>2912513Are you poor because you’re angry or angry because you’re poor?
The fuck do you mean the breakfast sucks? It's one of the best japanese buffets and the staff are always attentive. Are you brown by any chance?
>>2912603He probably stayed in one of those APA's where the added on breakfast is like a bready sandwhich and not the buffets some have.
>>2912604>>2912603ESL jeets, he said Toyoko breakfast
Yo will it be easy to find a Stainless steel Rice cooker for when I come stay this winter?? I dont want that toxic non stick bullshit
>>2912864go to daiso and get a stainless steel pot
>>2912176I stayed at a capsule hotel in Tokyo once. The massage parlor was Chinese and I could speak Chinese so they had fun playing with me. She kept asking to massage my legs in a backroom. I agreed and what happened next I'll leave to imagination.I finally went to the bed around 2:00AM. My buddy checked out the video rental selection and bought me and himself a porn video lol. It was some strange schoolgirl one where they were under an overpass and she kept shaking her head no. Hot AF. I must've finished on that mat 35+ times until 6:00. I didn't sleep that night. Woke up and went to the spa again then had breakfast. It was all based on an armband thing so I didn't realise how much I had spent. Once they gave me the bill I said I forgot my wallet outside in my bags. I just left and ran away.
