We were a family of 4 traveling, so we had 2 adjoining rooms. The hotel is well situated to walk to restaurants and historical shopping areas. Even though cleaning services are not provided every day, their system to exchange towels is very efficient. We enjoyed our stay and would use APA again.

The hotel was very clean and had several useful amenities. There is a Starbucks on the main floor for a morning coffee and snack. The nearest train station was a few minute iwalking away and bus stops are outside the building. The location couldn’t be better for shops, food , market and a few temples and shrines also within walking distance.
