    We enjoyed very much on a boat ride at Arashiyama. We had good lunch and shopping at nearby mall.

    The bed was too high for short person to get on. The hotel wants you to put your suitcase under the bed. I guess that is why not much shelved in room.

    Location was great, near the Kyoto station. Easy to go shopping. However, it said Kyoto Eki Higashi, so I thought it was Higashi (east exit) but actually it was the central exit. It was long way from east exit to central exit. The hotel needs to put that on their website.

    It's a bit messy with housekeeping stuff all over the corridor the whole day.

    Excellent location and rooms were spacious enough.

    There was no central air-con, but luckily we stayed during the autumn-winter season, just a slight push of the window and we got an air-conditioned room, otherwise would have been too stuffy.

    Right beside Kyoto Station! Looked so grand as well and I was shocked by the standard provided cos I paid for it at a low price. Planning to stay with them again when I return to Japan. Everything was so grand, from the ground floor to the toilets and the beds as well as the tables provided.

    Nothing. Just some scary announcement in Japanese waking us up at night!

    Room is spacious, mordern & spotless. Location is very close to train station & surrounded by bunch of goods restaurants, drugs stores, convinience store. I deduct 1 star because there was a few surprising announcements around 10pm waking us up. It was in Japanese initially so we were freaked out thinking it was an alarm / announcement about earthquake / tsumami. It turned out to be an announcement of water supply shortage.

    A really small critic about the Tattoos policy. I 100% accept the culture, but the hotel provides only 2 stickers to cover your tattoos. Mine needed an extra one and they didn't give me so i couldn't use the Spa. I accepted it anyway and i had a lovely stay.

    I cannot find anything not to like.

    Amazing location (literally 1-3 minutes from the Kyoto Train Station depending on your luck with traffic light on the intersection), very good Japanese style breakfast (albeit the individual preferring a more western style breakfast will also find something for themselves), very clean and tidy room and pretty spacious for general Japanese standards.

    The breakfast was a bit strange. Not really what I expect from a "breakfast". But it was tasty. Especially the ice cream.

    The location was great, and the beds were unusually comfortable for a Japanese hotel.👍👍

    Check-in time is kind of late at 3pm.

    Good location. Near to everything you need. Lots of eateries, Uniqlo, train station, vibrant environment. Allow top up for earlier check-in at 1000yen per hour.

    Room is extremely tight. Nowhere to put luggages. They recommended to place luggages under the bed, but under the bed??

    It's close to the station, but not 3 minutes walk. Maybe 7.

    Water: 2nd day was informed thar water bottles only supplied on first day of stay. Perhaps a better approach would be to remain the status quo, HOWEVER if requested by guest, can also out of goodwill to give another 2 bottles.

    Location most attractive.

    There was not a dedicated smoking area in/in front of the hotel and we were asked to smoke in Kyoto Station smoking area. The staff did not care when we said we could not use the screenview on TV.

    It was indeed very close to the station (especially center gate) We stayed in a twin room which was more spacious than APA's usual single-bed rooms.
