Good budget Kyoto Hotel

I would recommend this hotel, mostly because of its location, very close to the amazing Kyoto station, and its affordability. As you exit the station, take a left (away from the Kyoto tower) and walk until the road ends, then take another left and you are there! Of course the room is small, I stayed in 5 different hotels during my Japan trip and this one was slightly above average.

Great hotel, convenient and comfortable

The APA hotel was very conveninient, clean and had very courteous staff who were great at giving advice for local food and sites. The room was small, but efficient. It is only 5 minute walk from the Kyoto station on the East side (where city bus station is located).

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

Estacion Cafe is in the Kyoto station on the East side F1 and is a great deal for breakfast. You can get a full breakfast including great coffee (get the Blended coffee) for under 500 Yen.

Great location by Kyoto Station. Classical small Japanese size.

Location: close to Kyoto station on the north side. A little hard to find but certainly cloase. Make sure you have a good map of the location. A sister APA is a block away from this, so they had a map in there to find this one. Amenities: OK, the bathrooms are clasic Japanese and small, but everything is there. You aren't there to stay in the room. Cleanliness- good. Comfort- cramped and a I had a view of the wall, but I only slept in the room. Comfort- bed, sheets and pillows better than average. Staff- ok, no issues. Value: very good primarily due to location and cleanliness. Took Subway everyday and couldnot have done much better for a balance of value and location. Would recommend it you are spending most of your time out of the hotel. Warning: small rooms, so don't try and cram too much luggage in there...had barely enough room to open 1 suitcase. Savings opportunity: Get a 1 day pass at the Kyoto station for 600 yen...you can travel the subway limitlessly for that day. Note: Starbucks in the Kyoto station underground at the PORTA.
