    The security of the hotel could be improved though, as there was nothing to restrict non guests from using the hotel elevators to access room floors.

    I loved that the hotel was right next to Kyoto station, so it was very easy to get to. The staff were very helpful and friendly as well. I also liked that the hotel woukd notify you on your room tv screen when the cleaning days were and clear instrcuctions on how to properly use the room facilities.

    My room had a view of a parking lot. I wished to stay two more nights at this establishment, but it was not possible, so I had to switch hotels while staying in the same city.

    There was a great variety of different food items for breakfast. As a European, I appreciated finding sweet options like croissants and cocoa. I also liked the availability of hygiene and cosmetic products at the reception. The onsen, included without extra cost, was very nice and relaxing, especially since it was my first time experiencing this type of bath. The hotel allowed me to leave my luggage for free after check-out, which was convenient for exploring the city and picking them up in the evening. The elevators were efficient at all times of the day, which is rare in the hotels I stayed at during my trip to Japan.

    Good all. Of course, It's small because of crowded and expensive Japan, not the hotel.

    Great location, just near Kyoto Station. Very clean and excerllent facilities. Professional staff. I loved my experience there!

    The size of the room was very small to what we’re used to . Other wise there wasn’t a lot wrong with our stay. The bathroom was adequate the water pressure was very good the pillows were a little bit hard but seems the same at other places we’ve stayed.

    The location was excellent the rooms were clean but small the staff were excellent we didn’t eat there so not sure about the meals. It was in walking distance from the train station and the hop on hop off bus which we like to use. All in all a very good experience. Thank you

    There was 2 total coin operated laundry machines in the entire building and during my stay one of them was broken.

    Location was great, right next to Kyoto station. Staff was friendly, forgot item in room and was able to reclaim item after a few days. Can leave luggage before and after check out.

    nothing.

    close to train station, markets restaurant shopping districts close by. I made my reservation in last minute due to my prior reserved hotel was a disaster... Apa hotels are always match my expectations, they are clean well equipped, located well, and prices reasonable even in sakura season... Apa rooms are always small but decorated/designed in smart fashion. So you are not paying unnecessary money for empty space. You will find everything you need in the room. Comfy bed, enough size bath necessarry equipments disposable materials {shawing, tooth paste etc} fridge tv kettle.....without going to luxury direction (: Overall score is 8. If we consider price/performance ratio@kyoto, then my score is 9 :) Staff is helpful and very very kind, and they can also serve in english well.
