The staff provided fresh towels along with coffee and tea and cups every single day. The staff was also very helpful. Overall, thr hotel was good but it was extremely humid inside our room so much so that our blankets and clothes eere damped every day. This situation made for a very uncomfortable stay. Unfortunately, the air conditioner did not help with this matter.

This hotel is such great value for your money. I've also stayed in this chain hotel in Tokyo. It is very clean with comfortable beds and good wifi connection. They provide more amenities they similar American chain hotels. They are also located in popular tourist areas and close to public transportation. The double rooms are very compact. As a solo traveler I have found them to be comfortable.

Made a right choice

Stay was amazing, high quality for good price. Location was 7-10 mins walk from Kyoto Station and bus station (amazing). When booking at APA make sure you know the exact address where to go for check-in as APA is a chain of hotels and find the right one can be tricky. You can leave your luggage with them after check-out with no extra charge. Overall stay at this hotel was exceptional in all means. The hotel has Money Exchange booth.

Close to Kyoto station. 7 eleven right next door. The rooms are not really soundproof, I could hear my neighbours laugh and cough, but at night was really quiet. Rooms are really small (it was not an issue for me) but the bed is super comfortable.

I have stayed in a few of these APA hotels, I feel for the money compared to sone other hotel brands i have stayed with these. The APA brand is started to fall behind. This hotel inparticular felt dated. The rooms have 0 noise cancellation. You can hear the TV from the nextdoor room. Any noise made in the hallway you can hear. The room itself could do woth a deep clean.
