If you have staid in an Apa before you probably know what you are in for, but overall solid value! Big bed, clean and compact. Bathroom is modular a bit small by western standards but still very usable and clean! No complaints here!

My second stay with this chain. Compact rooms with enough space under the bed to stow luggage. Laundromat with 4 coin operated washing machines and dryers, so timing laundry visits is important to get laundry done. Centrally located so access to other parts of Japan via the railway is easy and to other parts of Kyoto too. Happy to stay here again.

We were not big fans of the confusing check-in machines with abundant staff there to walk you through it. Why?? The staff themselves were great, but low scores on check-in process. Sento was a great feature for this conveniently located hotel. Don't recommend more than 2 people in a room as they are much smaller compared to U.S. standards; including a very tight cruise-ship-like bathroom.

Laundry was busy each time we used it, dryers need to be cleaned out of lint each time, otherwise it takes longer. Check-in was brutal, you have to type your information into a computer while the staff watches you do it and assists you if needed. I feel as though it would be way more efficient if there was an actual person to talk to. This was the first hotel where you had to use a computer to check in at during our time in Japan and it was the worst. Rooms are tiny, as is the washroom. Nice to have storage under the bed though. Likely wouldn’t stay at another APA again.
