Don't know why it doesn't rate higher. Very close to Kyoto Stn, so was great after getting off the train with suitcases. Clean, friendly staff. Room small by Western standards but knew that when booked.

Nice option for budget sensitive travelers

This is a budget hotel, great price but very small rooms as you can imagine. Nevertheless, it was clean and everything was in good shape. Not much of a view but that's ok because we were mainly there to sleep. It's close to everything, no issue finding stores, good restaurants and as close to the train station as possible. Overall a good place to stay but don't expect a 5 star luxury hotel.

Just a short walk from Kyoto Station, Kyoto Aquarium and Nidec Kyoto Tower. Lots of shopping and dining options at Kyoto Station and the area nearby with 7-11 just down the street as well. We selected this hotel mainly for convenience, but convenience aside, it is due for renovations. Room was fairly clean, but starting to show its age compared to some other APA Hotels we stayed at during our time in Japan. It could have been because this APA Hotel was located in Kyoto, but both the interior and exterior was on the older side. On the bright side no central AC, so you can set your own temperature to your liking with the individual AC unit inside the room. If you want absolute quiet or a light sleeper, keep in mind you can hear the trains passing lightly in the distance if you stay at this hotel.
