Pros:

The location of APA Hotel is fantastic, about 10 minutes away from the main Kyoto train station, which we have used a lot. The staff are very nice and helpful. The room was comfortable and quiet enough.

Cons:

Everything was great, but breakfast/coffee options were quite basic. Would be great to see a larger variety of food. Plus if you come in later, the food starts to get cold.

Pros:

Konumu çok güzeldi. Fiyatlarıda gayet uygundu.

Cons:

6 gece kaldık sadece temiz havlu verdiler. Çarşaf değişikliği yapmadılar. Otel içinde baya gürültüler oluyordu geceleri. Bir gece otel görevlisi ile bir konuğun kavgasına bile şahit olduk.
Odaları fazlasıyla küçüktü, özellikle tuvalet.

An overnight transit stay was made extra comfortable with the public baths on the upper floor. A great location for the
Pros:

Close to Kyoto Station, public baths, welcoming and attentive staff, self-check in process, luggage storage.

Cons:

Stairs the only entrance to the property. A ramp would be good for awkward luggage, elderly people, prams and wheelchairs.

Pros:

The breakfast was very good and the location was great.

Cons:

They gave us a smoking room when we'd booked a non-smoking room. I assume they'd run out of non-smoking rooms.

It was fine.
Pros:

I liked how there was a convenience store next door. I also liked the options offered on the TV

Cons:

The room was quite snug, the bathroom was also pretty small, and they also offered porn on the TV (lol). You had to press a switch to turn the fridge on and check out was pretty early (10am).

Pros:

Konum

Cons:

Odalar ekstra küçük içinde iki kişi valiz açamıyorsunuz
Bahçede ki masada oturmanıza dahi izin vermiyorlar otelin önünde sohbet edip kahve içmek için ayakta beklemeniz lazım
Personel uyarırken ekstra kabaydı burada bekliyorum ayrılmanızı gibi tabirler kullandı
Oda değiştirmek istediğimde bir personel günlük 6000 Yen fark var dedi başka personel 3500 Yen’den yardımcı oldu . Biri müsait oda var dedi diğeri yok dedi yani tutarsızlar
Tavsiye etmem

Bon séjour
Pros:

J'ai bien aimé ma chambre. Il y avait de la place pour mes 2 valises. L'hôtel est bien placé, à 6 minutes de la gare.

Cons:

Il y a une marche pour entrée dans la salle de bain. Ne pas se trompé avec un autre APA Hôtel qui est juste avant quand on arrive de la gare. Le petit déjeuner est bon mais pas exceptionnel.
