Positives - The rooms are comfortable, the front desk staff are friendly and efficient. The public bath on the second floor is small but very relaxing.
Negatives - The right-wing political pamphlets left in every room by the owner are unpleasant. There was a musty sewage smell in the bathroom, and a lot of dust in the corners of the room.
Great hotel. Very clean. 5 minute walk from Toyama station and about 10 minutes from a beautiful park with a river, castle and hundreds of sakura trees. Great places to eat are all around too.

Thank you for staying at APA Hotel . The words of praise from our customers encourage the our staff. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much.
Very clean, medium sized room. Fast internet. High-pressure hot shower. Comfy beds. The small onsen on the second floor was a surprise! 10 mins walk to the station. Toyama was just a stopover point for us, so we didn't spend much time. There are restaurants nearby. Paid parking.
everythings are satisfied. but back side of curtain is very dirty.

What a bummer, first time bad experience at APA
Paid for parking only to be told that there was no space available upon return at night. Had to park at a completely different (far away) "public" parking lot (and all of this in the rain).
The walking distance from Toyoma station is not as advertised, the hotel is on the other side of the station and is actually quite a long walk away (~10mins).
Also, the hotel is very old and rundown. The shower is constantly clogged. By far the worst APA hotel I have stayed
Located on the WRONG side of EKI (train station), everything was average or lower than expected. Small room, uncomfortable bed, receptionist don´t speak a word of English, one even managed to send me by taxi to the Wong museum:(:(: plus they do not have bike to lend or rent, no snacks on the vending machine, etc..
Check in was smooth. Room rate was ridiculously high because of Japan Golden Week. I had no choice to stay there because most hotels in Toyama was sold out. Room was extremely small. Air Conditioner was poor. Bathroom sink was clogged every single day I was there and I housekeeping didn't report it or follow up on the condition. I'm sure it's still clogged right now. Hotel is right next to the JR railways and we could hear every train that passed by. I will never again stay at this hotel nor ever recommend it to anyone. I was extremely disappointed.
The hotel was only ten minutes walk from the station. The staff were pleasant but the room smelt damp and musty, the bed was rock hard, and in the morning the windows were running with water, hence the musty damp smell in the room. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't stay again

Short overnight stop
As with all hotels you get what you pay for. We arrived at 9pm and checked out 5am the next day, just some where to rest our heads. Yes the bathroom had a slight smell, as was mention in someone else's review, this is because the bathroom is a pre-made capsule, so open the door for a quick airing problem solved, also frequency of the train reduced during the night so they didn't disturb our sleep.
Located near JR Toyama Station which makes a great choice for travelers looking for a stopover night stay. Hotel has a public bath facility which is great and enjoyable for customers to relieve their fatigue.
There was an obvious language barrier but staff did not make an effort and didn't help to accommodate our needs or questions. I felt they favoured the native Japanese people and did not want to help our needs. This was the worst experience of staff we have had in Japan.
Ok It's an ekimae hotel (in front of the station) but in the spot that you cannot walk straight to the hotel. Also it just a few step from the rail road, unless you love the sound of train or the vibration from it I would not recommend this hotel.

Upon check-in I was asked if I was happy with the smoking room I had booked. I said I prefered non-smoking and the lady at reception changed it without any hassle or additional costs.
We arrived 1 hour before checking so they offered to hold our bags until check-in time (we didn’t have to ask first).
The semi-double room size was suitable for our short stay however it is a squeeze in the bed with 2 people (measurements/size are on the site when booking so you should be aware of this). There was tea in the room but no coffee. There was a nice variety of bathroom products provided.
