4/10 Fair

Since this hotel has allows smoking in specific rooms, the smell is very strong. It was so unpleasant, my partner and I booked a different hotel in Kyoto and didn't complete the stay at APA Hotel Kyoto Gion. I suppose the only good thing about this hotel is that it's location is very convenient and the area around it is really nice;near a temple and a bunch of shops.

The location was centralized that it allowed us to walk around town and visit the temples and shrines. It is also near a subway station. Our room was very small but very clean. And the staff was very helpful and friendly.They just need laundry service.

Michel, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is situated in a great location, a few minutes to walk to endless shopping and dining options. There are several bus/train station nearby and a gorgeous temple/shrine less than half a block away. The room itself is slightly in the small side and there is no laundry on site however there is a 24 hour laundry mat about a 10 minute walk away. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They assisted us in transferring our luggage to our next hotel for a very affordable price.
