        “Great hotel in a great location!!”

        This hotel is located very near to the train station and anything else you might need. There are laundry services on-site and you can scan the QR code on the machine to pay with your phone if you don’t have coins (The app is called AQ-Connect), but be careful because each QR code is specific to the machine you are currently using. If you need to send your bags ahead to your next hotel then just ask at the front desk and they can send them for you through Yamoto transport for a fee (It will take a day or two so be sure to account for this in your plans, because you won’t have access to the bags until you arrive at your next hotel). There’s lots of food options at the underground porta dining area and 2 Lawsons convenience stores nearby which offer lots of good food options that are fresh each day. They will warm the food for you if you ask or there is a heater on-site at the lawsons. The room was clean and the staff friendly, I would recommend this hotel to anyone!!

        “Great! Near the train station. ”

        Coming in to Kyoto, this was the hotel that we decided to stay in. Despite their small rooms, they are very clean. There’s no weird smell and whatnot. The services are also great. We came in a little early and they offered to hold our bags, so we can explore around the city. As we checkout (we have large luggages at the time, which was a problem as there’s no 1 day delivery due to the snow) they offered once again to hold onto it, so we can handle our last minute businesses. They also have a small restaurant next door, and the breakfast was really good. The location is very convenient. It’s about a 5 minute walk from the train station, there’s about 2-3 continent stores around, and there’s a small mall area with eatery at the top. Overall, I’d recommend this hotel, I enjoyed my short stay there.

        “The go-to for solo travellers ”

        My first visit to Kyoto and I stayed in the APA Hotel kyoto-Ekikita. The location is supreme as it is right next to the main train station and the kyoto tower. The rooms are quite modest as it is with the APA rooms, but it leaves you content with the amenities and the cleanliness. The staff is very courteous and prompt in providing any assistance. The breakfast set is quite good and fills you up to put a zip in your step. You can reach most of the nearby places within a mile or two from the hotel location. The family mart and lawson are just a turn away which makes it really sweet spot for any needs.

        “I stayed at APA Hotel for the first time!”

        Until now, I haven’t had the chance to stay at APA Hotels, but since I came to Kyoto, I made a reservation through the Agoda app. My impression after staying is that it is a high-quality hotel. The room was clean and there were no complaints, and the front desk staff was polite. Also, with the breakfast included plan, it was around 10,000 yen (about 7,200 yen), which is inexpensive. I heard that depending on the accommodation plan, there are options with unlimited movies and anime available on the TV in the room, so for those who like on-demand services, I think it would be a fulfilling choice. Honestly, I want to stay at APA Hotels again. It's a very comfortable hotel. Thank you.

        “Good location but only one lift”

        Short walk from kyoto station Use porta underground shopping mall to exit from kyoto station (stairs) to walk at street level to hotel. For those who does not want to use stairs, use street level exit from kyoto station( bus station area). Pros - good location - Felt safe walking around the surrounding area at night as solo traveller. - Welcoming front desk - clean rooms Cons - Small room - only restaurant and laundry available - one lift serving 105 rooms - no water dispenser, onsen, pool - housekeeping only on 3rd day. New Towels will be provided each day without request - no umbrellas provided on rainy day unlike other hotels - I sent email to hotel via their website to enquire about things left in room after checkout but there was no reply . This hotel is not as responsive as other APA hotel :(
