    The room is very small with very limited space to store and regularly access a suitcase.

    Close proximity to the Kyoto Station

    My room had a view of a parking lot. I wished to stay two more nights at this establishment, but it was not possible, so I had to switch hotels while staying in the same city.

    There was a great variety of different food items for breakfast. As a European, I appreciated finding sweet options like croissants and cocoa. I also liked the availability of hygiene and cosmetic products at the reception. The onsen, included without extra cost, was very nice and relaxing, especially since it was my first time experiencing this type of bath. The hotel allowed me to leave my luggage for free after check-out, which was convenient for exploring the city and picking them up in the evening. The elevators were efficient at all times of the day, which is rare in the hotels I stayed at during my trip to Japan.

    Good all. Of course, It's small because of crowded and expensive Japan, not the hotel.

    Great location, just near Kyoto Station. Very clean and excerllent facilities. Professional staff. I loved my experience there!

    The size of the room was very small to what we’re used to . Other wise there wasn’t a lot wrong with our stay. The bathroom was adequate the water pressure was very good the pillows were a little bit hard but seems the same at other places we’ve stayed.

    The location was excellent the rooms were clean but small the staff were excellent we didn’t eat there so not sure about the meals. It was in walking distance from the train station and the hop on hop off bus which we like to use. All in all a very good experience. Thank you

    There was 2 total coin operated laundry machines in the entire building and during my stay one of them was broken.

    Location was great, right next to Kyoto station. Staff was friendly, forgot item in room and was able to reclaim item after a few days. Can leave luggage before and after check out.

    nothing.

    close to train station, markets restaurant shopping districts close by. I made my reservation in last minute due to my prior reserved hotel was a disaster... Apa hotels are always match my expectations, they are clean well equipped, located well, and prices reasonable even in sakura season... Apa rooms are always small but decorated/designed in smart fashion. So you are not paying unnecessary money for empty space. You will find everything you need in the room. Comfy bed, enough size bath necessarry equipments disposable materials {shawing, tooth paste etc} fridge tv kettle.....without going to luxury direction (: Overall score is 8. If we consider price/performance ratio@kyoto, then my score is 9 :) Staff is helpful and very very kind, and they can also serve in english well.

    The breakfast area didn’t take cards. The staff was a bit slow when helping out. We spent almost 2 hours getting our luggage sent to our next hotel. They also gave us a hard time about adjusting our stay as we missed out train.

    Very close to Tokyo station and it’s very clean.

    Great chain, but small rooms.

    Although it is a given that Japan is very small and condensed, I found the rooms to be a bit small. There was storage for our bags under the bed, but things were tight on getting things in and out. I also found we never got a room with a view. We were often looking at the side of the building beside us. With no sunlight getting into the room and having the room be small, I felt a bit claustrophobic. Although this chain of hotels seems fine when it comes to location, toiletries, friendly staff, I chose not to pick it again as I was done with the size of the rooms.

    The location was perfect as it was walking distance to Kyoto Station. All staff members were helpful and nice. Great selection in toiletries from hair elastics, tooth brushes and tooth paste, wash cloths, Q Tips, brushes, cotton etc. Umbrellas available upon request at reception for rainy days. Decent size buffet in the morning with a mix of Japanese and Western food items.
