I liked this hotell a lot, it was quiet and comfy, staff was great and the breakfast good. Everyone got a bed to sleep in (no sofa) and the pillows was okay, not to hard or soft. I thought the sound from the train station would be louder considering it is located within crawling distance (almost) but I sleept like a baby, so the location is fantastic if you plan to go on a day trip with the JR/Buss. Kyoto is a city for students, temples and tradition so there is a ton of stuff you can do/see so a place close to the central station is a must.

I don't think there is anything to complain about (only stayed one night though).

The hotel's location was incredibly convenient, situated just a couple of minutes away from the main train station. This accessibility made it easy to explore the surrounding areas and visit local attractions without any hassle. Upon entering my room, I found it to be tidy, clean, and spacious enough for comfort. The attention to detail in maintaining the cleanliness of the space was commendable, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere for relaxation after a day of exploration. However, the standout feature of this hotel was undoubtedly the staff. They were extremely helpful and inviting, consistently offering assistance with a warm smile. Their genuine hospitality made me feel valued as a guest, enhancing the overall experience. In summary, the combination of an ideal location, pristine accommodations, and outstanding staff made for an amazing stay at this hotel. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking both comfort and convenience during their travels.

I loved everything about the hotel but the only thing i would change is the shower space as the ceiling in the shower is quite low so if you are tall you will have issues showering standing up. Other then that everything else was amazing.

The hotel was in a great location, only a short walk to Kyoto Station and many convenience stores nearby. The room was good and what we expected for the money paid. Under bed luggage storage was an excellent idea included in the hotel room. Very clean room and plenty of amenities. Front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Room was a little bit small for tall people in the group, particularly with the random ceiling beam in the shower. Uncomfortably small bathroom for anyone over 6ft tall, but this seems to be the case in most hotels in Japan in this price range. This was the only issue.

The location was perfect as it was walking distance to Kyoto Station. All staff members were helpful and nice. Great selection in toiletries from hair elastics, tooth brushes and tooth paste, wash cloths, Q Tips, brushes, cotton etc. Umbrellas available upon request at reception for rainy days. Decent size buffet in the morning with a mix of Japanese and Western food items.

Although it is a given that Japan is very small and condensed, I found the rooms to be a bit small. There was storage for our bags under the bed, but things were tight on getting things in and out. I also found we never got a room with a view. We were often looking at the side of the building beside us. With no sunlight getting into the room and having the room be small, I felt a bit claustrophobic. Although this chain of hotels seems fine when it comes to location, toiletries, friendly staff, I chose not to pick it again as I was done with the size of the rooms.

Location is a 5-minute walk to Kyoto bus terminal, subway, and JR Kyoto stations. JR Kyoto Isetan and Tokyo Tower are also clise by. 0The hotel has affordable laundry facilities and a microwave and free VOD. Good water pressure from shower and good quality shower products.

Rooms are small and hard to put 2 luggage in the room. No wardrobe to store clothes if you are staying for a few days. Bathrooms are small and no common bath for an onsen experience. Pants presser at lift lobby doesn't do a good job like an iron.

close to train station, markets restaurant shopping districts close by. I made my reservation in last minute due to my prior reserved hotel was a disaster... Apa hotels are always match my expectations, they are clean well equipped, located well, and prices reasonable even in sakura season... Apa rooms are always small but decorated/designed in smart fashion. So you are not paying unnecessary money for empty space. You will find everything you need in the room. Comfy bed, enough size bath necessarry equipments disposable materials {shawing, tooth paste etc} fridge tv kettle.....without going to luxury direction (: Overall score is 8. If we consider price/performance ratio@kyoto, then my score is 9 :) Staff is helpful and very very kind, and they can also serve in english well.

nothing.

Welcome and room. offee. Otherwise, the hotel was perfect. By the way no evening restaurant I had to buy in food from the convenience store. However I would stay there again. Ursula.

The breakfast was not as good as the photos suggested, though it was better than most APA hotels; however, this hotel is more expensive than most APA hotels. That being said, I would stay there again. The location was very good, and there was more finish to the rooms than in other APA hotels.Across the road is a lovely coffee shot perfect for that morning coffee.

There was a great variety of different food items for breakfast. As a European, I appreciated finding sweet options like croissants and cocoa. I also liked the availability of hygiene and cosmetic products at the reception. The onsen, included without extra cost, was very nice and relaxing, especially since it was my first time experiencing this type of bath. The hotel allowed me to leave my luggage for free after check-out, which was convenient for exploring the city and picking them up in the evening. The elevators were efficient at all times of the day, which is rare in the hotels I stayed at during my trip to Japan.

My room had a view of a parking lot. I wished to stay two more nights at this establishment, but it was not possible, so I had to switch hotels while staying in the same city.

Very convenient location, though it was a bit of a challenge finding the right exit from Kyoto Station to the hotel. We took a bit of a longer walking route which took 10 mins. But there are taxis readily available. The water pressure on the shower was a big bonus too. Staff were friendly and able to accommodate early check in, for a fee. They also hold your luggage for you in case you can’t check in early.

It’s a trademark of all APA hotels I suppose but the living quarters are very cramped, including the toilet.

The location of hotel is about a 5-minute walk from Kyoto station. There are plenty of restaurants in Kyoto station and nearby the hotels. The breakfast choices are plenty (both Japanese and Western).

There are only 2 coin-laundry washing machines/dryers in the hotel's basement (B1), and they can be pretty heavily used on weekends. The room is very small and if you have a large wheel luggage, it can be pretty challenging to open to take things out.
