The APA is in many ways a typical Japanese business hotel: functional and efficient, with tiny but clean rooms and a comfortable bed. The bathroom is also typical: a plastic console that is so small that for a big gaijin it's kind of hard to fit into it with the door closed. There are two features that make the APA... More

having already stayed in the other APA hotel in osaka, i figured what to expect from this hotel. rooms here were larger than the one in osaka, albeit barely. hotel had public bath and spa facilities on the top floor which were excellent, rooms clean and well furnished. quite a distance from kyoto station though, its sister hotel, apa hotel...

I'm sure people are complaining about the size of the room, but hey, it 's really amazing what Japanese can do with small space. The bed was like 70% of the room but I didn't feel that cramped. Decors were tasteful, amenities complete, ofuro in the hotel even. I had a good night's sleep. That's the important thing. It was... More

I must admit that it was a small room but the service was good.The room window did open in the double bedded room in which we stayed (premium level 9). The bed was comfortable and the pillows were nicer than usual. The location near to the bus station was great and because of that we able to travel any where... More

Stayed one night in a single room. Absolutely tiny, bed unbelievably hard, window doesn't open so no fresh air. Very clean though and a good location. Great for someone who is 5 feet tall or less. More

Conveniently located from the train station. Which was fantastic since we were coming from Osaka and heading to Tokyo. Transit system was pretty easy to figure out as well to get to many of the famous temples. Rooms were typical Japanese small. Has all you need and Ive stayed a few nights in these standard hotels, so I was use... More

In my tiny room I could hear every word uttered by people passing in the hall, including the cleaning staff early each morning, and frequently even their footsteps. The beds are slightly more comfortable than a slab of concrete might be. The fact that you can walk to Kyoto Station in five minutes goes a long way in making up... More

We stayed here for 3 nights between 19th-22nd April 2001. This hotel is very close to the station which was really convenient. The bed was a bit hard, but we don't really mind it and the room was very clean. The highlight or rather the thing that makes this hotel very very worthwhile is the spa located on the topmost...

Kyoto was very busy as a local temple was celebrating a 750 year anniversary so this was one of the few hotels available. That said it was perfectly suitable. The room was a little small but this is a common theme in Japan, particularly the western style/business hotels. It was clean and well equipped. The staff were very helpful and... More
