APA Hotel Kyoto Ekimae

The hotel's location was incredibly convenient, situated just a couple of minutes away from the main train station. This accessibility made it easy to explore the surrounding areas and visit local attractions without any hassle. Upon entering my room, I found it to be tidy, clean, and spacious enough for comfort. The attention to detail in maintaining the cleanliness of the space was commendable, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere for relaxation after a day of exploration. However, the standout feature of this hotel was undoubtedly the staff. They were extremely helpful and inviting, consistently offering assistance with a warm smile. Their genuine hospitality made me feel valued as a guest, enhancing the overall experience. In summary, the combination of an ideal location, pristine accommodations, and outstanding staff made for an amazing stay at this hotel. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking both comfort and convenience during their travels.

The location was perfect as it was walking distance to Kyoto Station. All staff members were helpful and nice. Great selection in toiletries from hair elastics, tooth brushes and tooth paste, wash cloths, Q Tips, brushes, cotton etc. Umbrellas available upon request at reception for rainy days. Decent size buffet in the morning with a mix of Japanese and Western food items.

close to train station, markets restaurant shopping districts close by. I made my reservation in last minute due to my prior reserved hotel was a disaster... Apa hotels are always match my expectations, they are clean well equipped, located well, and prices reasonable even in sakura season... Apa rooms are always small but decorated/designed in smart fashion. So you are not paying unnecessary money for empty space. You will find everything you need in the room. Comfy bed, enough size bath necessarry equipments disposable materials {shawing, tooth paste etc} fridge tv kettle.....without going to luxury direction (: Overall score is 8. If we consider price/performance ratio@kyoto, then my score is 9 :) Staff is helpful and very very kind, and they can also serve in english well.

There was a great variety of different food items for breakfast. As a European, I appreciated finding sweet options like croissants and cocoa. I also liked the availability of hygiene and cosmetic products at the reception. The onsen, included without extra cost, was very nice and relaxing, especially since it was my first time experiencing this type of bath. The hotel allowed me to leave my luggage for free after check-out, which was convenient for exploring the city and picking them up in the evening. The elevators were efficient at all times of the day, which is rare in the hotels I stayed at during my trip to Japan.

The location of hotel is about a 5-minute walk from Kyoto station. There are plenty of restaurants in Kyoto station and nearby the hotels. The breakfast choices are plenty (both Japanese and Western).
