The hotel is in a convenient location with excellent access to the train station. They provided thoughtful amenities, including toiletries, hot water kettle, and even nightwear. We especially enjoyed the heated toilet seats and automatic bidet. The staff was wonderful and kindly held our luggage before check-in, allowing us to explore the city freely.

We had a wonderful stay. Could not have asked for a better location- it is so close to the train station and the staff stored our luggage for a couple of hours after we checked out so we could go do more sightseeing before our train to the next location. The property was clean and very quiet too! Highly recommend!

It’s close to the station which is ideal. You don’t have to take your luggage too far. It’s a few minutes away from major spots by train or bus. Only downside was that they didn’t have a laundry room onsite.

The property is very convenient to access Kyoto Station and bus stations. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful to provide directional support for city tours. But the room is very very (I specifically used two \"very\") small, not suitable for more than one person.

This APA location is awesome .. just less than
5-8 mins walking (depending how fast you walk) to Kyoto Station, Kyoto Tower and shopping nearby, and taking any buses to Nishiki Market n more. Love it .. Room is great!!

Tiny, but convenient.

The room is tiny, as described. The office chair was very uncomfortable. So, it you plan to work, this is not your place! Paper cups for hot drinks is a thumbs down. Otherwise, quiet, clean, and super convenient to night life, restaurants, and Kyoto station.

Having stayed at several Japanese business hotel before, I’m aware of the typical small toilet. But this single room’s toilet is even much smaller! When standing in the bath, my shoulder will be touching the shower curtain. When sitting on the toilet bowl, my feet touches the door. The wifi was also very slow. The pillow has a little bit of musty smell. I’m now worried about my next check-in on 25 Nov…

A bargain

Very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I forgot my suitcase in the room, and they were kind enough to retrieve it and keep it at the front desk until I could return for it a few hours later. The room was small and there was no instant coffee, but at the price I paid, I can’t really complain.

Good location, good for a long weekend

Vicinity to Kyoto Station was a main highlight, however there are several nice restaurants, bars, and convenience stores nearby too. The rate was competitive, and the (smaller) western style room was comfortable with amenities included. Staff spoke good English and check-in and check-out were simple. If I travel to or through Kyoto again, I will highly consider staying here again.

pay a bit more and get a better room

the pillow of the bed was too thin,
and walls also was too thin and I could hear a group of guys talking a lot in the room close to me.
my check in was a bit late (around 9 pm) so I don’t blame them for not having parking space, but I did had to pay from my pocket to park in the parking space next to the hotel (I asked them about it)

Disappointing

We we’re so excited to stay in this hotel since it’s a 3.5 star but we are so disappointed when we just walked out the elevator going to our room it already smelled like smoke (we got the non-smoking room). The room is so small, it’s filthy, there seem like a puke on the carpet, it’s loud outside. I would not recommend this hotel at all! Find another one i beg you!

The room is tiny even by Japan standards. Your double bed is essentially the entire room. the TV is right upfront to the bed. More than that, the pillows are completely flat and dead. The refrigerator was broken. The only saving grace is the location (close to kyoto station) and bathroom was pretty clean. Otherwise, please choose to stay elsewhere. I paid $88 USD to spend 1 night at this terrible hotel. Unless you have to, there are much better options in other hotels, please do yourself that favor.

Nice convenient place to stay

I have stayed here a couple of times. I like it because it’s very convenient, right across street from Kyoto station and nestled among many convenience stores and places to eat.

My only complaint is that the room is really small, even by Japanese hotel standards. I don’t like the raised bathroom floor. The bed is okay but the pillows are not very good.

The negatives are outweighed by the location of the hotel and the very efficient staff.

I would stay here again when in Kyoto.
