      “Great option close to Kyoto Station”

      Stayed here with a friend and was very satisfied with our hotel choice. Beware that Agoda booking incorrectly allows you to specify two single beds for a double room however at the hotel a double room only ever has one bed. The staff were very helpful and managed to change our room however it was a more expensive rate. Not the hotels fault but something to look out for if you need two beds. Overall hotel was a good option. It was a simple and quick walk from Kyoto station and held luggage free of charge in between check in and check out times. Room was very comfortable and offered the standard Japanese hotel amenities like Pajamas, toiletries etc. Kyoto hotels were very expensive when we travelled and this hotel cost more than I expected for a no frills type accommodation but it was still on the low end of the range during our stay so I think it was fair.

      “Convenient hotel near the station with complete facilities.”

      The hotel is very close to Kyoto Station. You just need to cross the street at one crosswalk to get there. The room has all the necessary amenities. The hairdryer is powerful, the water flows quickly, and each person gets a bottle of water. There are about 4-5 electrical outlets, which is sufficient for two people. You can request to have the room cleaned, but if you prefer not to, the hotel will bring a set of towels to change every day. During my stay on the 11th floor, the room was very clean. I didn't find any stains at all, which surprised me considering the reviews mentioning cleanliness issues. If you exit the hotel and turn left, you will find a 7-eleven just 100 meters away, and there is parking next to the hotel. I can't remember the price, so if you want to park, you might want to check with the hotel first. Overall, it was very good. Everyone in my group liked it. Everything was convenient. The only limitation is that the room is small (but I was aware of that when I booked). It was a bit difficult to open a 28-inch suitcase, but a 25-inch one is just fine.

      “Was okay. Needs improvement. ”

      Good and comfortable stay, but needs improvement. The cleaning staff showed unprofessional attitude. I had put my full garbage bag outside my door in order for it to be collected. It did get collected, however the cleaning staff simply threw a disposal bag into the garbage bin in my room and left it there for me to open and wrap into the bin. Since they had entered my room to do the needful, how many seconds would it have taken them to wrap the bag into the bin, as that's what they're getting paid for! Also, on the last evening, I found a plastic bag containing someone's item of clothing hanging from my door. Gave it to reception. And it was an everyday thing to find vacuum cleaner or cleaning equipment left in front of my door, blocking my path. Also, breakfast needs more variety. Fruits would be appreciated. Laundry facilities are advertised, but they don't have any.

We will check with our cleaning staff to ensure that this does not happen again in the future. As for the cleaning noise, we will take care to minimize the noise as much as possible.

      “A wonderful place to travel in Kyoto.”

      At first, I mistakenly found a different APA Hotel Kyoto Ekimae on Google Maps, so everyone should pay attention to check the correct name with Chuoguchi at the end. The hotel is modern, beautiful, clean, and has delicious breakfast. It's also convenient to get to the bus station.
