APA Hotel is one of Japan’s leading hotel chain brands. It features a luxurious lobby area with fancy chandeliers and functional rooms, making it popular with both local business people and overseas travelers alike.

The brand offers two cheap Akihabara hotels in the Akihabara area. The APA Hotel Akihabara Ekimae location introduced here is conveniently located a short 1-minute walk away from Akihabara Station.

In addition to large-screen TVs and comfortable beds for a good night’s sleep, rooms are also fully equipped with a unit bath that saves about 20% more water than a normal bathtub, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing bath while also being good for the environment. It is compact yet functional and full-featured.

Of course, being a popular destination and a convenient location, you might not always be able to grab a deal at under 5,000 yen per person, yet you can still save a great deal by checking the schedule and reservations, and planning accordingly. For example, two people splitting one 10,000 yen room (tax included) is still a great value plan!
(*Room rates may vary by day)

It is recommended to check APA hotels frequently via the multilingual official website and app for lowest prices and available coupons.

One tip for discounted rates is that accommodation charges tend to be lower on Sundays and public holidays (in the event of consecutive day holidays, the last day is cheapest).

Additional services for travelers are free wi-fi access in all rooms and the lobby area, as well as free airing of the BBC World News. We recommend checking the discount schedule when planning to book private rooms for couples or families, as well as for all other available hotel services.

Bnbplus Costelun Akiba is quite a unique female-only dormitory. Once you enter the guest-only, auto-lock entrance, you come to a Japanese-style room, reminiscent of the Japanese families of the good old days. This is the space to enjoy a meal, chat with other visitors, and just have a good time.

The capsule-style bunks are divided into neighboring rooms with a wall for a sense of privacy. Part of the area is a warm beige, with the other area a mysterious black wall.

Showers and bathrooms with tubs are available. The pop-style checkered floors of the dressing rooms are also popular with the ladies.

Prices may vary according to schedule, but you can stay here for as low as 2,000 yen. The staff recommends booking as early as possible and opting for a weekday or Sunday stay.
(*Room rates may vary by day)

The name “Costelun” is a term coined from a combination of “cosplay” and “hostel,” emphasizing that it is indeed a cosplayer-friendly place to stay.

You can even borrow an iron or a sewing machine free of charge to prepare your costume, and take a commemorative photo holding a large cosplay shield as a prop. There are also regularly scheduled night-time workshops held by wig experts.

Accommodation information is available in several languages including English, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Korean, Spanish, and Russian. The resident female staff members also use translation apps to better accommodate travelers from all countries. This is the spot for culture-loving gals to gather from all around the world.

Along with the hotel library and cosplay item, you will also find people from many countries excitedly engaged in “otaku talk,” (and of course, regular, non-cosplaying tourists are also always welcome!) This is a new style of hostel where you can enjoy more than just the accommodation, but a wide range of experiences!
