Apa Hotel Miyazaki Eki Tachibanadori

“Affordable and clean APA hotel along Tachibana Avenue, good for business or sightseeing”

宮崎市街の橘通り沿いにあるビジネスホテルです。 ホテルの周辺には、飲食店やコンビニエンスストアなどが多数あるため、飲食や食料の調達には全くと言っていい程困りません。とは言え、宮崎駅より徒歩15分程度の距離があるため、悪天候でなく身体に疲労感がない時には駅から徒歩でのアクセスでも丁度いいかもしれませんが、そうでない場合はタクシー等を利用した方がいいかもしれません。また、橘通り沿いはこのホテルを始め様々な商店が建ち並び、このホテルの外観もその街並みに溶け込んでいるかのようで、あまり目立たない外観をしています（一目でそのホテルだと分かるサインが外部に掲げられているとは言え）。場合によっては気づかず… more

宮崎市街の橘通り沿いにあるビジネスホテルです。 ホテルの周辺には、飲食店やコンビニエンスストアなどが多数あるため、飲食や食料の調達には全くと言っていい程困りません。とは言え、宮崎駅より徒歩15分程度の距離があるため、悪天候でなく身体に疲労感がない時には駅から徒歩でのアクセスでも丁度いいかもしれませんが、そうでない場合はタクシー等を利用した方がいいかもしれません。また、橘通り沿いはこのホテルを始め様々な商店が建ち並び、このホテルの外観もその街並みに溶け込んでいるかのようで、あまり目立たない外観をしています（一目でそのホテルだと分かるサインが外部に掲げられているとは言え）。場合によっては気づかずに通り過ぎる可能性があることにも注意が必要です。 客室やロビーを含むホテル内の全ての設備は、清潔に保たれているのは言うまでもありません。各客室もコンパクトにまとめられ、大きめのスーツケースを持って宿泊する場合はかなり手狭に感じてしまうかもしれません（これは他のアパホテルにも同様のことが言えます）。橘通りに面しているため、夜間は車の往来の騒音が気になる人もいると思います。一方でホテル内の機器類の駆動音は小さめであるため、屋外の騒音を除けば比較的静かに過ごせると思います。 前述の通り、ホテル周辺には多くの飲食店があるので、宮崎でのビジネス、宮崎周辺の観光の拠点として利用するのに適したホテルの一つだと思います。 This business hotel is located along Tachibana Avenue in central Miyazaki City. The area surrounding the hotel is filled with restaurants, convenience stores, and shops, making it very easy to find meals or grab necessities. While it’s about a 15-minute walk from Miyazaki Station, the distance is manageable on foot in good weather or if you’re not too tired. Otherwise, taking a taxi may be more comfortable. Tachibana Avenue is lined with many commercial buildings, and this hotel blends into the cityscape quite naturally. Although there is a visible hotel sign, the exterior is somewhat understated, so there's a chance you might walk past it without noticing - something to keep in mind. The hotel, including the lobby and guest rooms, is kept very clean. Each room is compact and efficiently arranged, but if you're traveling with a large suitcase, the space may feel quite tight. (This is common with many APA Hotels.) Since the hotel faces a main street, some guests may notice traffic noise at night. That said, the interior is relatively quiet, with minimal mechanical or appliance noise, allowing for a mostly peaceful stay. With so many dining options nearby, this hotel is a convenient base for both business travelers and those exploring the Miyazaki area.

“Hidden Hotel in Shopping Area”

If you are into shopping, you are in the right area. My GPS indicated that we had arrived but as we are on a busy road, we did not see the signage until we drove by the second time. So look out for it! The parking is next to the hotel and it costs 900 yen as this is in a busy shopping area. As in a… more

If you are into shopping, you are in the right area. My GPS indicated that we had arrived but as we are on a busy road, we did not see the signage until we drove by the second time. So look out for it! The parking is next to the hotel and it costs 900 yen as this is in a busy shopping area. As in all APA hotels, the rooms are small and functionable. Reception is good and had no problems whatsoever.

“Tiny room but very good value”

This is a 3.5-star review disguised as a 3-star review.

This is a 3.5-star review disguised as a 3-star review. I came to Miyazaki for a conference at the Seagaia Resort and since the Sheraton Grande was extortionately priced, I found this place for very cheap with the only disadvantage being that it was 3-5 miles from the conference location. The staff is helpful on check-in. Some of them speak some English and at least one English-speaker is usually around at all hours, it seemed. The room is very tiny, which just enough space for one person to slip between the bed and the desk. As a solo traveler, this didn't bother me much. The bathroom is just as tiny, and felt like using the toilet in an airplane. There was a slightly musty smell in the bathroom, like the inside of a washing machine, but that went away when I turned on the A/C (like elsewhere in Asia, the default temperature is pretty warm by western standards). The biggest surprise was the shower, which used the same faucets as the sink and then used a lever to switch to shower mode. From conversations with others, this seems to be standard configuration at APA hotels. A few minor complaints but nothing too damning: one night I lost WiFi but it was back within 24 hours; breakfast was not included in my reservation and while it was good I'm not sure it was $12 good (you can get breakfast included for an extra charge); I did laundry while I was there (coin-op conveniently located on the 7th floor) but 30 minutes in the dryer never quite did the job so I had to hang things up. Miyazaki is lovely. It's very quiet compared to bigger cities in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, of course). It quite tropical, and a little bit like Japan's Hawaii. The hotel is fairly close (~2 km) to Miyazaki Shrine, and it's another 2 km or so further to Heiwadai Peace Park. I also took some excursions to Aoshima Island and Udo Jingu Shrine—both highly recommended. Since I had to get to the Seagaia Resort every morning, that was about ¥2200 each day, but as there were other conference attendees staying here, we could share cabs. It's very convenient to Miyazaki station for arrival and departure. This was a good, comfortable stay in Miyazaki, as long as you're aware of some of the quirks of small Japanese hotels, and Miyazaki itself was a great introduction to the southern part of Japan.

“Not as good as other APA hotells”

This is usually my go-to chain hotel because of its consistency. Yes, the rooms are tiny, but they are generally clean, the hotel is pretty much always in a central location at a reasonable price and the service is good. However, on this trip the bathroom was not the best. Rust (I hope) on the soap… more

This is usually my go-to chain hotel because of its consistency. Yes, the rooms are tiny, but they are generally clean, the hotel is pretty much always in a central location at a reasonable price and the service is good. However, on this trip the bathroom was not the best. Rust (I hope) on the soap dish, something gross-looking at the base of the bathroom door in front of the toilet (I didn't look too hard to see what that was) and the room did not feel as clean as it usually does at APA hotels. I'll continue to stay at APA, but this hotel was not so good. For price (five thousand yen double room) and location, it is worth it, but one night was enough.
