Great location
Pros:

Everything. The room was bigger than the other two APA hotels I stayed in during my trip, and also included a massage chair which is a first for me (it was awesome).

Pros:

A localização, sem sombra de dúvida, foi o que mais gostamos. Quartos bons, mais amplo que o estilo normal do APA (que geralmente são minúsculos), e com colchões confortáveis. Dormimos vários dias e foi ótimo. Vista ótima! Super recomendo. Para o café da manhã, é melhor comer no Starbucks que fica no térreo do prédio do hotel.

Great location, clean hotel and good value.
Pros:

Great location near great restaurants and shops in Gion. Short walk to the metro and close go nearby temples and cultural sites. Hotel is clean. Rooms are compact but well appointed. Very good breakfast. There is a Starbucks and a desert shop located in the premises.

Cons:

Nothing other than compact rooms - but that’s standard at many hotels in Japan.
