Tiny room as always with Apa- but even more so. Bathroom was like an aeroplane toilet, tiny! Short walk from station with various sights easily walkable.

A clean hotel. I was grateful that they lent me an umbrella on a rainy day. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby, and although we only stayed for two days, we had a very comfortable stay. Satisfaction ratings were particularly high for the large communal bath with an open-air bath and sauna. Due to its inconspicuous location, it is easy to mistake it for the APA Hotel in front of Kyoto Station.

The room is a bit small, but it is located near Kyoto Station and has good soundproofing. You can hear the coughs from next door.

Hotel is close to Kyoto station, which can be use if you are planning to visit other part of Japan.In the area you can find all type of services you need.Rooms are small (maybe bathroom was way too small) but if you use it just to sleep it will be ok.Breakfast has enough variety considering we are in Japan.Staff was always very kind.Only thing I found a bit strange is that you have to leave the room before 9 AM if you want room to be clean, otherwise they only leave you towels on the door.
