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.
