Clean and conveniently located
For someone like me who was changing city everyday it was perfect to have a hotel so close to the station. Smooth check in and check out, helpful staff, the hotel is very clean and Has plenty of amenities such as vending machines and coin laundry area. I didn’t try the breakfast. Only negative point was that I could barely open my (small) suitcase in the room as it was very small, and so was the restroom (also a bit outdated). Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who doesn’t need to spend to much time in the room

Choosing between APA in Okayama and Kurashiki, eventually chose this one and proven we made a good choice. The hotel is just right outside the JR station, so easy.

Very convenient location, but the hotel is a quick renovation job of an older hotel. It shows. Rooms are very small, walls are very thin - I could hear my neighbour snoring, coughing and sneezing. The hotel was clean as long as you didn't look up - the a/c filters were dusty in the room and the bathroom. The bed was comfortable enough but the pillow was wafer thin and an absolute joke to try and sleep on. Won't be staying at an APA hotel again if I can help it.

Great location, right by the station and close to the historic area of Kurashiki. On the positive the staff were very helpful and the breakfast was excellent. The only downside is that the hotel is very dated and tired. However, they are beginning a programme of refurbishment so hopefully that's in the process of changing. Despite the dated appearance everything was clean and the rooms were reasonably spacious and very comfortable.

As always value for money and convenient
It is located right above the subway with car parking nearby, so it is highly accessibly. The historical area is just 10min away, while the outlet is 5 min away. The hotel room was in normal size and is a little bigger than the usual semi-double room in many other budget hotel. As always, I think APA chain hotel's bedding are much better than norm.

Thank you for choosing and staying with us here at APA HOTEL<Kurashiki-Ekimae>. Indeed, thank you for sharing your precious time to review. As you mentioned, our hotel is located just next to JR Kurashiki station. We have received good reviews for our highly accessibly from many guests every day so I am very glad to hear it from you this time. Exactly, it takes only 10 minutes away from our hotel to the historical area and just 5 minutes to the outlet mall. The guest room is desinged compact- the new urban style hotel is Japan's first global model hotel, a one of a kind which has an original concept created by APA. Bed is named Cloud-Fit bed, which is wide and fluffy for pursuing good sleep. We are collaborating with the top share holding company in the United States. We are looking forward to welcoming you back here. Please have a safe trip home. Clerk Nagamoto

Super expensive but worn out hotel
It's japan's golden week when i stayed at the hotel. That's the only hotel room available when I made the reservation a month before. Rate were super expensive, 28000yen per night for a twin room. Room was small, out dated, dirty carpet, very soft bed, aircon wind blow directly to the bed, tiny bathroom. Only advantage is close to the station and outlet.

Excellent location at station
APA hotel has an excellent location right next to the train station. The rooms were nicely appointed and clean inside. However the beds were super springy and very uncomfortable. They were way below what I would expect for a large chain hotel. I had the worst rest in my entire stay in Japan at this hotel. Their other amenities such as holding luggage after we checked out, so we could explore the area before we moved on was helpful and well appreciated though.

I've seen other reviews complaining about room size and basically docking points for that reason alone. The room was just what you would expect for the location and price. Small but clean amd featuring all the basic amenities you would expect. It's a good low cost option.
