Very helpful staff. The hotel is one block away from Kyoto Station and Kyoto Tower! Very convenient to take the train and bus to all the major shrines and sightseeing locations. Very affordable and great for solo travelers! The hotel also has their own coffee shop which is great for coffee lovers! Great way to start the day. Thank you APA Kyoto, I highly recommend. I would love to come back here if I ever visit Kyoto again!

Having stayed at several Japanese business hotel before, I’m aware of the typical small toilet. But this single room’s toilet is even much smaller! When standing in the bath, my shoulder will be touching the shower curtain. When sitting on the toilet bowl, my feet touches the door. The wifi was also very slow. The pillow has a little bit of musty smell. I’m now worried about my next check-in on 25 Nov…

A bargain
Very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I forgot my suitcase in the room, and they were kind enough to retrieve it and keep it at the front desk until I could return for it a few hours later. The room was small and there was no instant coffee, but at the price I paid, I can’t really complain.

Good location, good for a long weekend
Vicinity to Kyoto Station was a main highlight, however there are several nice restaurants, bars, and convenience stores nearby too. The rate was competitive, and the (smaller) western style room was comfortable with amenities included. Staff spoke good English and check-in and check-out were simple. If I travel to or through Kyoto again, I will highly consider staying here again.

pay a bit more and get a better room
the pillow of the bed was too thin, and walls also was too thin and I could hear a group of guys talking a lot in the room close to me. my check in was a bit late (around 9 pm) so I don’t blame them for not having parking space, but I did had to pay from my pocket to park in the parking space next to the hotel (I asked them about it)

Disappointing
We we’re so excited to stay in this hotel since it’s a 3.5 star but we are so disappointed when we just walked out the elevator going to our room it already smelled like smoke (we got the non-smoking room). The room is so small, it’s filthy, there seem like a puke on the carpet, it’s loud outside. I would not recommend this hotel at all! Find another one i beg you!
