Like all APA hotels I’ve been to, this one is very nice, clean, and has plenty of amenities. I love the Japanese style of rooms and the excellent service.
The property is very convenient to access Kyoto Station and bus stations. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful to provide directional support for city tours. But the room is very very (I specifically used two "very") small, not suitable for more than one person.
Nice hotel for short stay, super close to Kyoto station , Kyoto tower and Higashi temple, dining options are everywhere and staying open late as well. Very satisfied with this property
In general is good, but the room is very small. Bed is like almost broken. Location is good and have lot of food places within working distance (5-10 minutes)

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
The staff was not very accommodating for our check in. Bathroom layout is terrible. Can hardly fit to use the restroom with the door closed. It is a great location but next time I’ll choose somewhere else.
It’s close to the station which is ideal. You don’t have to take your luggage too far. It’s a few minutes away from major spots by train or bus. Only downside was that they didn’t have a laundry room onsite.
This APA location is awesome .. just less than
5-8 mins walking (depending how fast you walk) to Kyoto Station, Kyoto Tower and shopping nearby, and taking any buses to Nishiki Market n more. Love it .. Room is great!!
