The staff was very helpful and friendly. It was easy to check in the room was clean. It’s very close to the train station which is the main reason for choosing this hotel. The bathroom is small but has everything you need. The room layout makes the most of the space.

Was a lovely hotel and staff was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are very extremely small nothing staff can do about that but note that for if you book. Japan are known for small rooms but we were surprised at how small. This place was located 1 block from Kyoto station and walking distance to a lot of shopping and food.

I love this hotel! This is my second time staying here. The service is great! The rooms are clean and comfortable and the wifi is great! The location is also convenient from the Kyoto station or to walk to Nishiki Market or Gion. The breakfast is the best part: fast service and absolutely delicious food!

Worst hotel experience of our trip and the worst e

We arrived about 40 minutes before check in time 2:20pm and confirmed that we had arrived and had reservations. Even though we had the impression that the room was ready, the staff had us waiting until 3 pm and then processed 2 others who just come in at 3pm! After sitting in front of the check in counter for 40 minutes 10 feet from the staff, we were then subjected to another 40 minutes to finalize our check in before being given the “key” to our room! There was only one other person who checked in while we waited and the staff ignored us, doing nothing constructive until just after 3 pm when I asked to be checked in! With 5 APA hotels within 3 or 4 blocks, we picked the worst one! The room was so small that 2 people couldn’t even get past each other! Of all the other APA hotels we stayed in and several other hotels, this was absolutely the worst one of all!!!! Ruined the experience of being in Kyoto!!! I could add other problems but the best thing I could say was to fire the staff and close the hotel!!!!!

Uncomfortable

I changed hotels midway through stay. I did not like this hotel. Never had pillows so uncomfortable, I couldn’t sleep. My room smelled of curry house downstairs. There was also political alt right propaganda in the hotel room. I then googled why this would be, the owner is a political activist for alt right so this hotel chain is politically allied. I did not like this as I’m an immigrant and have liberal values

Great property in an ideal location for transport. Staff are friendly and accommodating and the hotel generally is kept clean and welcoming. Our only slight negative was the room size however we knew this prior to booking so not a complaint in any way.

This was a great hotel to stay in during my first trip to Kyoto. The transportation options are great, as you can get to a bus stop without crossing a street, and Kyoto Station is a little over a block away. Dining options are abundant. There is a restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. Kyoto Station also has numerous dining options, a lot of which are open later compared to a lot of places in Kyoto. The bed large, especially for one person. I had enough room to store two, possibly 3 suitcases at the foot of the bed. The bathroom was nice and clean. I never once got any hint of cigarette smoke in the room, which is fantastic. The staff are all very kind. Y. Ishida is a particularly stand out staff member. She helped me with what I needed with a smile on her face, and I never had any communication issues with her. My only complaint was with the dryer in the laundry room. There are two washers and two dryers. The washer worked fine, but the right side dryer didn’t dry my clothes well at all, and it left a lot of leftover lint. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.
