This hotel is very convenient, clean and reasonably well run. The prices are very competitive and the grand bath is a bonus. However, the rooms are small and the bathroom is barely adequate as it is cramped and too small for many.

APA is a great hotel. My only complaint is the room is so small that there isn’t much room to put your luggage. They have space for under the bed storage but if you have large luggage it doesn’t fit under the bed so you end up very crowded and have to move around luggage. The breakfast was delicious and very convenient to have available to us.

Great location, close to Kyoto station and Aeon mall. Coin laundry can be a little tricky as they only have 3 small machines, good enough for under garments. Prepay for breakfast. Rooms are small in size but that is Apa’s contribution to the environment. Just enough to shower, sleep and washroom. Otherwise great hotel.
