    “The highest level as a business hotel!”

    The transportation convenience at Kyoto Station is of course excellent. As for dining, there are so many choices in the underground area of Kyoto Station and in front of the station that it can be hard to decide. Shopping is also hassle-free with Isetan, Yodobashi Kyoto, convenience stores, and Kyoto Station’s underground Porte available from morning until late at night. APA's reliable service, along with the staff who are very kind and attentive, makes for a pleasant stay, and the room is just right for solo travelers. The large wall-mounted TV offers plenty of information and entertainment, and the amenities were sufficient. The only drawbacks are that there is no large public bath (though there is one at the Kyoto Station East across the street), no ice machine, and only one elevator, which means waiting can take a while. None of these are major issues, but considering that the mini fridge in the room isn’t very cold, having an ice machine would be appreciated.

    “The staff is kind.”

    The front staff are kind and provide detailed explanations to our questions. We stayed for two nights, but the walls seem thin, as we could hear strange noises from the neighboring room on the first night. The bathroom and toilet are combined and small. Water is provided for free only on the first night. Aside from that, the location is good, and the amenities are well-equipped. Towels and sleepwear are also available on request, so we are satisfied.

    “Excellent”

    It was a clean and comfortable hotel. It is close to Kyoto Station, and there are convenience stores and fast food places right behind it, making the location good. The showerhead was also of the latest model, and the facilities were well-equipped. The room itself was on the smaller side. The accommodation cost is very reasonable compared to other hotels, but it feels high compared to the previous rates, so I’ll deduct one star. It's a consequence of the rising prices in the world, so it can't be helped...

    “Slow stay”

    It was a plan for a one-night stay with a parent and child, allowing a leisurely stay until 1 PM the next day. The room had a double bed, which was spacious enough for two adult women. The bathroom felt a bit small. Overall, I think it is nice as it is close to the station.

    “Very convenient.”

    It was great to be able to drop off my large luggage before check-in and after check-out since the station is close. I was able to enjoy two days of sightseeing without being weighed down. I bought souvenirs at Kyoto Station while remaining light, returned to the hotel to pick up my luggage, and then took the Shinkansen home. It was wonderful.
