    There are a few dusty spots in the room.

    Location is great - just a short walk away from Gion and Yasaka Temple. Room was unique - a mix of modern and Traditional Japanese style. Fairly spacious for a hotel room in Japan.

    As some reviews have mentioned there are no black out blinds or curtains. Just shutters. This didn't bother us as they do provide eye masks. Just be mindful if you need a pitch dark room to sleep, but as mentioned this is not a deal breaker for us. Only a couple of tea bags for us white tea drinkers. But again, not a deal breaker. Overall a lovely stay.

    Location is outstanding. Nice room, relatively large to compared to Japanese standards. Bed comfortable. Nice bathroom. Nice and quiet in the evening. Staff friendly.

    We stay for 4 nights, hotel staff will clean and change the bedsheets every 3rd nights. They didn't really clean our rooms and vacuum everyday. They will change the towels and clean the trash daily.

    Location was good with few attractions nearby like Yasaka, Todaiji, Kiyomizu Dera shrine. Gion area was happening at night. Hotel was quiet at night although nearby with few night clubs. Room was kind of small but it come with separate bath and WC.

    Too much light in the room when trying to sleep It’s small cosy for one person The window is next to the bed so you can feel the cold draft Dusty windows and safe

    The location is great, few steps from Glion and a clean hotel. I would stay here again

    Really convenient hotel in Gion.

    - Front desk person was not super comfortable speaking English, though he was polite. The booking shows up for the hotel under the names of the people in the rooms, not the person booking, so that took a little bit of back and forth to figure out - Front door/lobby is a little hard to find. The grey portion of the building that juts out and has a door facing the street is actually a restaurant on the 1st floor. There is a door further back with an elevator telling you that the lobby is on the 2nd floor

    - Very convenient location. Close to train station, sightseeing places, shops, and food - Bathroom was very big, nice array of toiletries including face wash, ear plugs, eye mask - Bed was super hard, which is good for my husband but not as good for me

    Not very clean, odd shape to the room meant a couple of areas full of hair and dust. Staff a bit hit and miss- not always available (understaffed, so if you have a question while someone is checking in, you'll have to save it for later.) No hot water the first night (I believe this is switched on by reception. Senior manager resolved this brilliantly the next day.) There was some sort of change to price after booking (we paid the price advertised to us) we would have gotten our stay far cheaper had we cancelled and rebooked.

    Traditional style room with all necessities, good clothes washing facility and now accepting luggage transfer.

    Parts of the room, such as the window ledges, were dusty, as if the room had not been used in a while. There are windows but no view to the outside. Cleaning was inconsistent but still acceptable.

    Excellent location, close to all conveniences (train stations, eateries, shopping etc.) Staff was friendly, rooms are very comfortable. Common area for laundry and microwave.

    The room is kind of small but pretty standard for APA Hotels and Japan in general.

    Absolutely great location. Near the center of the city and the heart of the night wibes, Which was exactly what I was looking for. Close.to bus stations. Very convenient for taking shinkansen and getting out of the city.
