Only minor point: Whilst check in seemed to be very digital, for some reason it did not work with our reservation and then seemed to take a lot longer than any traditional check in

Great location - a max 5 min walk from Kyoto station Kyoto station and surroundings offer many restaurants and supermarkets Room was very comfortable with option to store luggage underneath the bed Onsen with 3 different baths each (male and female separate) Complimentary coffee and tea Washing machine available (500 yen - accepts 100 yen couns only- washing powder included - takes 30 minutes), tumbler available as well (we inserted 200 yen for 60 minutes what was sufficient). 3 machines each in a cebtral place. 2 further machines hidden at the female and male spa area

Fantastic location, great looking hotel, sophisticated check in, decent size room, comfy bed and pillows. Restaurant in-house was excellent.

I stayed at the APA Hotel in Shin Osaka before moving to the one in Kyoto, so I had high expectations for the cleanliness. However, I was disappointed to find that the Kyoto St. APA hotel wasn't as clean as the one in Shin Osaka. There was a pinkish stain in the bath, which I believe can be harmful to health. I wanted to take a bath but ended up not doing so because of this issue. Apart from that, everything else was great.

Really close to Kyoto station, Higashi hongan-ji temple and shoseien garden! Really comfortable bed and helpful, educational TV contents that some tourist in Kyoto should really watch 😅

Our room was small for a couple. We thought the bed could have been a queen size and orientated under the window making the room more workable. The king size bed was an overkill. Didn't like the step up to bathroom it felt like a trip hazard.

The hotel was excellently located trains and walking distance to many attractions. Extremely clean and great facilities

Could of done with a bar/common area by or attached to the Lobby area. There is however a restaurant, but only open at meal times.

Nice, spacious, clean room (for the price) and Convient location, could see the station from my window. Good facilities too.

Really good and cheap hotel for a solo traveller. The room was just good size for me. Nice big tv. The public bath was great. I went every evening. I send my luggage the morning before check out and they arranged the sending to the next hotel. The luggage was there next day when I checked in. Really close to the station and the bus stops. I reserved all my acommodations in Kyoto, Tokio and Osaka in APA so it is nice to already know how everything works :) Design of the room is even same. Everything works great.

The TV had a cast functionality but I was unable to get it working with my Samsung phone. Should note that "3 min on foot" is slightly misleading as it took us quite a bit longer to get here from the station after going through all the underground/mall areas.

Very comfortable and modern rooms, surprisingly good price for something so central. Room is pretty spacious for a Japanese city hotel, with some efficient use of space (e.g. storage). Great bed and huge TV, plus the best hotel shower I've had in Japan. Good wifi too. I was only here for one night so didn't make use of the restaurant or bath facilities.

Your restaurant hostess (short black hair) should have gentle manners. Your lady manager was more sympathetic and gentle and acted to mitigate the situation when it first happened. I didn’t want further stress so I cancelled my he rest of the breakfasts. Thanks.

I cancelled 3breakfasts. I refused to sit in bar chairs due to a back problems and difficulty Getting on and off the high chair to replenish food. If I slipped or fell I would have sued your hotel for age/disability discrimination. You have to have flexibility for rare cases like mine.🙏🌻🙏I came back twice because I like APA. So do something!

More tea and coffee would have been nice in the room.

Perfect location for getting around Kyoto. The hotel is spotlessly clean and my room was very comfortable. The personnel are very friendly and accommodating.

This APA hotel is one where the management overrides the climate settings for all the rooms, and if you prefer a different temperature than what they limit you to, well, you are out of luck. We could not get the room cool enough to where the humidity didn't bother us, and as a result, we didn't get a good night's sleep. I will not be booking another stay at any APA hotel for this reason.

Perfect location near the main JR Station and shopping center. There are plenty of dining choices nearby. The restaurant has a nice breakfast buffet with lots of options. The room was clean and modern, but the layout was a little tight, so you had to climb over the king bed to get to the far side.

Just roof were bit low.

The rooms. Our rooms were interconnected. Laundry facility was convenient and location was great.

Hotel rooms generally are very small in Japan, it would be nice to have a bit more space and chairs to sit down instead of the bed

We went out for breakfast; the best part about the hotel was the location to the train station- excellent for travelling to tourist attractions and the choice of dining within the train station is amazing

I stay at level 10 which is ok and clean. But my brother family stay at level 6 (same type) and their room was not too clean and dusty. Otherwise, I'll give 10 score to this Hotel

Location is the best. Walking distance to Kyoto Station for easy access and Kyoto Tower. Many shopping mall and cafe/restaurants nearby. Room exactly like the picture. The room actually, 2 twin room with connecting door, total 4 beds. The staff told me that this room type only 1 at each floor. I stay at 10th floor. The 10th floor have microwave, ice cubes dispenser and drink machine near the elevator. Not every floor have microwave etc. Easy check in/out. Most hotel in Japan are small, including this one. But you can still store your luggage below the bed. This hotel also have free onsen, but I didn't try it. My other tips: If you plan to go to Kansai Airport by train, go to JTB (in Kyoto Tower building, 5 min walk from Hotel) and buy ticket there. Cheaper and staff can explain in really good English.

It would be nice to have the option of "queen" size bed, not king, and a bit more space in the room instead.

The hotel looks very new, and amenities were good. King-sized bed in a 14m2 room meant that it left very little space for suitcases. However it managed to have a dressing desk, a fridge, kettle and coat hangers. Wifi worked fine, everything was clean and no noise issues (only heard the corridor conversations). 3 min from JR Kyoto station - Its true if you are on the right side and floor of the station (!) Arguably JR Kyoto station is large so it could be 10+ minutes otherwise - however overall the convenience was realised everytime we went out. The entry to the underground paths to the station is barely a minute walk.

The room was so small we barely cant open our suitcase. But, overall it was a good stay.

The breakfast is really good. We can enjoy the food bcs they wrote the ingredients detail in English and Japanese so it helped us understand.

View was into a parking lot. Elevators were slow.

Big room, with king bed (european queen size). Very nice! Good location with many amenities (laundry, onsen, etc.). Would book again. APAs are generally pretty reliable we found.

The room was a bit small, but just normal for Japan standards. Suitcases are supposed to be stored under bed, however this is not very practical.

Great location and clean. I would choose this hotel again.

i was under the impression that our connecting room doors could be opened and closed freely as that is the way most connecting rooms operate. wish it was mentioned in the listing.

the location is very convenient as it is close to the station. the staff were very friendly and helpful. the room is cleaned properly and the facilities in the room are very nice. view is good too.
