this was my third APA stay in Japan and second nicest of the three. the first one I stayed at barely had any room to move and this one is huge and a perfect little spot to sleep and decompress for the night. The Little cafe downstairs was really nice buffet style and quiet with lots of people from different countries visiting. There is 1 or 2 other hotels in the area and the staff at the other APA Hotel got me to the right place. great place to stay

The location is good as it's a short walk from Kyoto station. But the bathroom smelled of drainage and it wasn't very nice.. Also, my room was at the corner and I couldn't sleep well because of the noise from outside (even the noise of winds!) and room next to mine. I could hear person moving in the room next to me. They weren't shouting or anything but I could still hear them doing something almost like the room was connected :(

The staff provided fresh towels along with coffee and tea and cups every single day. The staff was also very helpful. Overall, thr hotel was good but it was extremely humid inside our room so much so that our blankets and clothes eere damped every day. This situation made for a very uncomfortable stay. Unfortunately, the air conditioner did not help with this matter.
