The hotel is very good overall, but the room has a step at the entrance to the bathroom that becomes uncomfortable over time. Having to go up and down that step, especially during the night, puts strain on the knee joint.

The location of the hotel was really good. It was within walking distance to Kyoto Station (2-3 mins walk) and the Porta Dining area in the Station. There are a lot of malls close to the hotel if shopping is your thing. The room was too small for two people. Being able to get on and off the bed from only one side was not ideal for less agile individuals. Perhaps this size room could be offered only as a single. It was not as clean as other hotels I’ve stayed at. Staff were somewhat helpful and friendly.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. It was easy to check in the room was clean. It’s very close to the train station which is the main reason for choosing this hotel. The bathroom is small but has everything you need. The room layout makes the most of the space.

Was a lovely hotel and staff was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are very extremely small nothing staff can do about that but note that for if you book. Japan are known for small rooms but we were surprised at how small. This place was located 1 block from Kyoto station and walking distance to a lot of shopping and food.

I love this hotel! This is my second time staying here. The service is great! The rooms are clean and comfortable and the wifi is great! The location is also convenient from the Kyoto station or to walk to Nishiki Market or Gion. The breakfast is the best part: fast service and absolutely delicious food!

Worst hotel experience of our trip and the worst e

We arrived about 40 minutes before check in time 2:20pm and confirmed that we had arrived and had reservations. Even though we had the impression that the room was ready, the staff had us waiting until 3 pm and then processed 2 others who just come in at 3pm! After sitting in front of the check in counter for 40 minutes 10 feet from the staff, we were then subjected to another 40 minutes to finalize our check in before being given the “key” to our room! There was only one other person who checked in while we waited and the staff ignored us, doing nothing constructive until just after 3 pm when I asked to be checked in! With 5 APA hotels within 3 or 4 blocks, we picked the worst one! The room was so small that 2 people couldn’t even get past each other! Of all the other APA hotels we stayed in and several other hotels, this was absolutely the worst one of all!!!! Ruined the experience of being in Kyoto!!! I could add other problems but the best thing I could say was to fire the staff and close the hotel!!!!!
