We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! It’s conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the Shinkansen station and is centrally located near many popular attractions, making it easy to explore the area. The air conditioning worked perfectly — a big plus after a warm day of sightseeing! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and like everywhere in Japan, the customer service was top notch. We were also able to drop off our luggage early, and the process was smooth and easy to arrange. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

The room upon check-in wasn’t as clean as expected. There were finger prints and substances on the desk and table. There was hair in the tub, on the ground in the bathroom and on the toilet seat. Overall, the location of the hotel is perfect we are at restaurants less than 5 minutes away. Not to mention how close the Kyoto station is. Plus, 7-eleven was right across the street, very convenient.

We really enjoyed our one night at this hotel. The room was perfectly large enough for the two of us in two separate queen beds, which were really comfortable. The bathroom was small but good. Location is excellent, right next to the hotel. Would definitely stay here if we came to Kyoto again.

APA is an average hotel with a reasonable price in the area. The location is close to train station so it is convenient, but kind of far from attractions and need to take the subway for any destination. The quality and cleanness of the room was Ok, so I gave average score to the overall.
