too small

Near train station

Stayed in June 2024

Rooms aren’t cleaned often enough

Fantastic location and super close to the train station. Good value for money. Larger room & better service compared to other APA’s

Excellent location and the curtains are so good, room super dark, had the best sleep.

No smoking area available. I know it’s Japan & smoking areas a few & far between but you have to walk 2 blocks for a public smoking area.

The location was perfect! The bed & bedding were so comfortable!

Good hotel

Stayed in May 2024

Smaller rooms cluttered with excess furniture. It was a busy hotel with group bookings so not really personal service.

Location was handy from the main train station but not a very exciting area. Breakfast was ok and was strongly Japanese in flavour. Public bath was great after a day of walking in the area.

The pillows were not great. The cleaners cluttered the passageways with trolleys, racks, and dirty laundry for a large part of the day. This seemed unnecessary. Perhaps the APA cleaning manager could work out a more efficient system where it is not a total mess for guests to walk past.

We loved the onsen/bath house. Great design and wonderful to experience a Japanese bath house.

Good hotel with a small restaurant with delicious food and all meals available although you are less than 300 metres from the train station and it's endless food possibilities. I loved the fact that the rooms had king size beds. As with all APA hotels the basic rooms are small but well layed out, plus it's Kyoto, how much time are you spending in your room?

It’s location

Stayed in June 2024

The beds were not comfortable, and the pillows not soft at all.

It's an APA hotel, so you know exactly what to expect. All their rooms are basically the same. The location was great, it's truly 3 minutes from the station.

Clean and convenient

Great hotel, rooms are on the smaller side..

Convenient location, close to Kyoto main station.....staff was exceptionally helpful.

Very inflexible check-in, as if they don't care about their guests. Check-in was 3pm - no ifs or buts despite us having travelled for 16 plus hours to get to Kyoto. We considered this very rude. We had booked 2 rooms for 4 nites. In a hotel boasting 400 beds this is not good enough. We will avoid APA in future. Booking.com need to make this check-in inflexibility clear to potential guests.. Eventually we were given our rooms early, but only after raised voices on our part.

Central location was great. Handy to the central rail station, Kyoto tower, the large market and heaps of shops. Facilities also excellent.

My room had a really strong odor which i couldn't make it better.

Decent size room, conferrable bed, excellent location.

They offer a large variety of meals to choose from for breakfast (both Asian and European styles), and ice cream was a nice bonus. The room and bathroom were rather small but it's kind of expected in Japan. The staff at the reception desk didn't seem confident speaking English, but they did their best and managed to send our luggage to another hotel in Tokyo which was super helpful. The location is excellent if you plan to do day trips by train.

Ok

Stayed in June 2024

Not the most spacious room. Only one chair to sit on so we had to sit on the bed.

Very well located hotel. The hotel room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Plenty of restaurants in a close distance from the hotel. 7/11, Family Mart and Lawson all in close vicinity. The public bath was also very nice after a long day of walking.

The bed was small

A descent place to stay.

Room not serviced throughout the 3 nights.

Location, close to kyoto station. Excellent shower

Whilst I know Japan is a very safe country, I personally prefer to have a safe box located in the room. This feature doesn’t seem to be standard with APA

The hotel is very conveniently located very close to Kyoto’s main railway station. Staff were friendly, efficient and welcoming with good English spoken throughout. Like most Japanese hotels both the room and the hotel generally, were spotlessly clean. The room was a good size for single occupancy. The adjoining restaurant to the hotel provided an excellent, varied buffet breakfast. Other facilities provide within the hotel included vending machines, laundromat and a spa bath area.

Not very clean. There is a lot of hair on the carpet. The desk was dusty. The hallway was stacks with towels and rubbish.

Very close to the trian and bus station.

Nothing everything was great

It was really clean and confortable

Breakfast was good but no changes every day

The bedding was not completed correctly? Not a deal breaker but it was never tucked in so it always came off during the night

Good value for money as the room was bigger than we expected (coming from Tokyo). Staff were friendly and very helpful too. Location was just 1 min walk from the entrance of Kyoto station and food hub too

Stayed in May 2024

Only suggestion is to have more washers and dryers. They were in high demand and difficult to gain access to due to the high demand.

The location was excellent and facilities were very comfortable. Very clean with regular room servicing. Excellent value for money for the services and location.
