This hotel is such great value for your money. I've also stayed in this chain hotel in Tokyo. It is very clean with comfortable beds and good wifi connection. They provide more amenities they similar American chain hotels. They are also located in popular tourist areas and close to public transportation. The double rooms are very compact. As a solo traveler I have found them to be comfortable.

Made a right choice

Stay was amazing, high quality for good price. Location was 7-10 mins walk from Kyoto Station and bus station (amazing). When booking at APA make sure you know the exact address where to go for check-in as APA is a chain of hotels and find the right one can be tricky. You can leave your luggage with them after check-out with no extra charge. Overall stay at this hotel was exceptional in all means. The hotel has Money Exchange booth.

Close to Kyoto station. 7 eleven right next door. The rooms are not really soundproof, I could hear my neighbours laugh and cough, but at night was really quiet. Rooms are really small (it was not an issue for me) but the bed is super comfortable.

I have stayed in a few of these APA hotels, I feel for the money compared to sone other hotel brands i have stayed with these. The APA brand is started to fall behind. This hotel inparticular felt dated. The rooms have 0 noise cancellation. You can hear the TV from the nextdoor room. Any noise made in the hallway you can hear. The room itself could do woth a deep clean.

I feel the mattresses need to be rotated as the mattress was on an angle and I felt I was rolling out of it all night. I’m guessing as it was a single room with the mattress up against the wall that the one side is sat on and slept on causing this uneven wear. I always have problems with Takyubin at this hotel too. It’s time consuming and staff never seem sure of what they’re doing. In addition to this my work sent a letter to the hotel prior to my check in. The hotel rang my work telling them I had no booking which caused confusion and stress. After I provided the booking number they located the booking but involving my work caused some embarrassment for me.

We had a nice stay. But the room is too small for two people. We have to open our suitcases on bed. It might be ok if you just bring begs or small luggage with you. The bath room has tight space. We, with middle size, felt hard to use the toilet and turn around in bathroom.

Stayed in better APA Hotels

This was my 3rd APA Hotel on a 2 week holiday to Japan. The previous two were of a high standard. In this one the room layout was bizarre and left very little space as there was no way to store the suitcase under the bed. You also could not use the desk due to the direction that the bed was placed.
