Hotel was very clean, staff were friendly and very helpful with arranging the luggage transfer. They have a public bath, but unfortunately we were not able to utilize them due to large tattoos. (Must be able to cover with, at most, two 10x12cm stickers) we had a double room with king bed. Room was larger than others that we’ve stayed in, it had plenty of floor space for me to have three suitcases open as I repacked our clothes and many purchases. Bed was comfortable. Hotel was less than five minute walk from Kyoto station, plenty of restaurants around, and had a 7/11 across the street.

We would stay here again

We had a good stay here. It is close to the train station, but be advised there is another hotel across the street with a similar name. Lots of restaurants and shops close by and good transportation choices withing walking distance (buses, subways, etc) We arrived in the morning, and they held our luggage for us. It also has a nice onsen. The room is a little tight, so be prepared to store you suitcases under the bed. (It's high up for just that purpose)

Check out time 10 am. Check in 15 pm. We asked if we coud check out at 11 am they told that it would have a charge. Very small room. WE have a king bed. There was only 20 cm between the bed and the wall. Withe the TV on that wall. Shoud be a contorsionist to go to the other side. Bathroom was the smallest seen. If the room was small the bathroom was very very small. We have problems with the drainage and the bathroom get flooded. You have to place the stiker to make up your room. There was a line to get into the breakfast saloon.They put signs in the elevator to give you idea when the elevetor has jam hours. I would say that this hotel instead of being service oriented to the client is orientes to their own service,

This hotel was close walking distance to the Kyoto Station which is the subway station as well as the shinkansen (bullet train) station, therefore easy to get around Kyoto as well as transferring to and from other cities. We paid for the buffet breakfast which was mediocre, however convenient rather than looking for a place to eat in the morning. The hotel and room were both clean and nice.

As a westerner, I knew the hotel rooms in Japan run smaller, but the two beds in our room were so tightly next to each other they might as well have been one bed. I also did not like not having control of the temperature in the room as it was all centralized so if it was a certain temperature outside it would only cool or heat, and I’m pretty sure I got a cold alternating from the room either freezing or being a sweat box. Also not a fan of the bathroom setup having the toilet, sink and tub tightly packed in a small room you had to step up into. Overall the staff was great (spoke English and helped forward luggage) but I would not choose to stay here again. I picked this hotel largely for its location next to Kyoto station and price, but would definitely splurge for one with more space the next time I’m in Kyoto.

Out of all the hotels I stayed at during my trip to Japan, this one was by far the best. Everything about my stay was excellent—from the warm and friendly service to the room itself. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room was surprisingly spacious for Japan standards. I loved that everything I needed was already provided—high-quality toiletries, fresh clean towels every day, coffee, and all the essentials. One of the biggest highlights for me was the large window with a beautiful view of Kyoto Station—something you rarely get in many hotels here. It really made the room feel open and bright. The location couldn’t be more convenient—right next to Kyoto Station, which made getting around super easy. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and welcoming. If you’re visiting Kyoto, I highly recommend staying here. I would absolutely come back again!

Having cime from one APA hotel to another, i was surprised at how identical they are. The room I had completely matched the room from the orher APA hotel. This one the breakfast area is relatively small and filled up quickly. Breakfast is a okay buffet with different options, including ice cream bar. Location is good for kyoto station, but a little away from the interesting parts of kyoto you may want to see. Not a deal breaker though.

Convenient location. Check-in staff were rushing me through the check-in process, and angered me when I tried to check my reservation, which apparently didn't include any breakfast. Also, didn't like the APA "propaganda books" left in every room. This is a hotel, not a cult, so remove the books and it'll feel less hostile. Until then, I will never use APA hotels ever again. I'll go with Tokyu Stay because of their washer/dryer in every room.
