Great location - would stay again for location

"This is our second APA hotel that we've stayed at so far. Nothing that really caught my attention honestly other than the amazing location. I'd stay at this hotel again especially for the location. Literally, the Yasaka shrine is less than a block away. One tiny thing was that it felt a little dusty ..."…"

Love this hotel!

"This was a great hotel! Situated in the heart of the Gion district of Kyoto. It is up on a hill, so if you are taking the bus to the hotel, just be fair warned (and the street is cobblestoned). Service is amazing, the hotel is awesome, and only 8 rooms so it is fairly private. There is no tv in the ..."…"

    5 / 5
    All staff were very nice and friendly. Since it was my birthday when we were in Kyoto, the hotel staff even gave me a present. That was lovely. The breakfast in the hotel was very good. I especially like the Japanese theme breakfast. When the evening staff learned that we had an early start the next day, he called someone and the next morning we had a breakfast sandwich to go (delicious egg sandwiches). (By the way egg sandwiches is the best in Japan - even 7Eleven stores, Family Mart and Lawson.) The staff really go out of their way to help you. I am sorry I don't remember his name, but he wears glasses. I woke up early one day since I would like to go to Hokanji Temple while there were no tourists around which was a walking distance from the hotel. He suggested that I walked to Koshoji Temple since I was heading in that direction anyway and at 6 a.m. it was opened. Great suggestion. The view of the Kyoto was breathtaking from this temple. This hotel has a great location and price. Definitely I will stay her with my family again no question about it. Keep up the good work and thanks a lot for a lovelier stay in your hotel. I hope you will still keep your prices low so I can stay in your hotel again.…
