We enjoyed our stay. The hotel is 5 min walk from Kyoto station. With lots of places to eat and shop, both at the big station as well as the surrounding areas. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. However, very strict about check in and check out times (3:00pm, 10:00am). Courtesy Luggage storage is available.
The room we got was on the station side and it was noisy. We requested another room and the staff were able to give us a room on the opposite side which was significantly more quiet.
The room is very small and functional.
The air conditioning is managed centrally and there's no control in the room, other than turning it on or off. In other words, the hotel may decide it's cooling time, or heating time, and you can't control the temperature of the room.
We've been to APA hotels in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto and they all have the same air conditioning system.
Overall, a decent place to stay while you're traveling around the city.
