    Not much to not like for the price, location, space.

    Around the block from the Kyoto JR station. Very central. King size bed in Japan is rare, lots of space relatively speaking.

    I left my smartphone (the only one able to make in-country calls) in a taxi. I asked the staff for help and they refused to even call the taxi company for me. They also did not advice me on what I could do. The people in Kyonavi helped me beautifully, unlike the guy at the counter that day. He did not even apologize, he just flat out said "no, I will not do that." Worst customer service I've ever seen in Japan.

    APA hotels are great. None of them have failed me in what they offer.

    For some reason there wasn't room service during our stay entirely. Instead, there was a bag on the door handle containing the daily supplies such as towels and toiletries. But clearly no one came in to clean the room.

    Breakfast was great and location is very close to the station as well.

    Nothing to complain about our stay.

    Very close to JR Kyoto station and the King Bed room is actually fairly large for Japanese standards. The ability to store luggage before the check-in time was also incredibly helpful since we arrived in Kyoto in the morning.

    The only real complaint was how limited the TV channels were but this goes for all APA hotels, not this one specifically.

    The room was small but bigger than other APA hotels. There was a nice storage space under the bed for our suitcases which really helped to create more space. Being so close to the main train station was also super convenient.

    Excellent location, modern & clean hotel.

    There is an unusual high riser/step to get into the bathroom (higher than an average staircase riser), and we nearly tripped over a few times. So you need to be careful.

    I selected the hotel primarily because of its proximity to Kyoto Station, just a one-minute walk from the North Gate. My decision was based on a brief look at its appearance on Google Maps, as I didn't have much information about it beforehand. Upon arrival, I discovered that the hotel is relatively new, having been built in 2019. Although the room is compact, its modern and clean design appealed to me. One notable feature is the ability to store our two very large suitcases under the bed, a convenience not always available in older hotels.

    Only thing was how difficult it was to get out of your room each day due to the cleaning mess. I tripped over a pile of bags that were in the middle of the corridor near the elevators. This didn’t ruin my stay, just be aware you have to be very careful where you are walking if you leave after 7am!

    The location for this hotel is amazing. So close to local trains and buses. Also very close to some local shopping. We loved the Kyoto Tower Sando Food Hall Just down the road and the amazing food options as well at the Porta underground. Inari Shrine and Nishiki Market were only a few stops away. It was also super easy to get to Kinkaru-Ji and other sites in Kyoto including the Gion district. Beds were not amazing but were the comfiest on our 5 week Japan holiday.

    This hotel has bigger twin beds equals better sleep. However to save space, luggage storage is under the bed, which I don’t mind. It’s new and clean, wry comfortable. Near to the train station.
