APA Horikawadori Hotel, Kyoto

As a business man based in Japan, I stay in many " Business Hotels ". It does however offer renovated rooms so they were clean and new. Dont expect any luxuries at any Japanese business hotel. The APA Horikawadori hotel is no exception to this rule. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good value for the room rate.

Good hotel very close to Kyoto Station. The rooms are welmaintained by the house keeping people. I enjoyed the stay very much. Open bath fecility is execellent. They are very strict about chek in time. I arrived there at 10 AM but I have to be in the lobby till 3PM. They could adjust this.Could not get internet connection in the room. It is chrged in the lobby, it can be made free in the lobby for the occupants as done in Osaka Hotels . They can also include in the rent Breakfast. Over all I will rate this hotel ***. I will definitly recommend to my friends and I WILL STAY IN apa if I VISIT kyoto in the future. I had a wonderful stay in APA HOTEL. iF POSSIBLE THEY can implement some of my above suggestions.

This hotel is located close to the Kyoto Station. It is convenient and clean. However, the rooms are small and the window faces to the middle of the building. Like most hotels in Japan they have very strict rules in terms of checking in/out times. It seems to me that this hotel is mostly for bussines travellers and not for tourists.
