The location was perfect! Very walkable to all there is to do in Gion. Bus stop in front of the hotel and a short walk to the train. The room was very spacious for us, especially after coming from a tiny room in Tokyo it felt huge. Temperature control in the room was nice. The breakfast buffet could be better, it was a bit expensive for what it was.

You won't have a better location, right in the Gion district, a few blocks from practically everything in the area, close to both train and bus stations, the attention of the staff was excellent, very friendly, and the rooms, although they are very small like almost all in Japan, very comfortable and with a good rest.

Construction is happening and it was not mentioned anywhere while booking the room. So windows were essentially blocked so no outside view made it that much worse because of very small rooms; communications w staff was difficult. Breakfast was mediocre. Great location though..

Rooms are VERY small also property is undergoing construction which they warn you about it but it means they wrapped all the building with zero views. Potentially it’s better to get a hotel slightly further from Gion with better options. Bigger rooms and no construction .

Pros: Great location! Close to everything… very convenience for tourist exploring Kyoto. Cons: I book a room for 4 people and realistic we only got a room with 2 twin beds, ideally for only 2 people. Very hot at night, property doesn’t have AC and upon request you can get a fan delivered to your room.

The room was clean and comfortable, if small. The location was very good - near a temple and 8 minutes' walk from the metro. If you're expecting customer service and a personal touch, you'll be disappointed. All very functional and business -like. The hotel was completely covered in sheeting during refurbishment ( which they obviously don't tell you at the time of booking), so there was no view put of any windows. We went in late April and the area was rammed with tourists. Not sure if it's quieter any other time of year but if not, Kyoto's got a serious problem.

I recently stayed at APA Hotel Kyoto Gion, and it was a pleasant experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the basic amenities provided. The staff was friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests. The location was convenient, close to local attractions and public transport. Breakfast offered a decent variety of options, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was welcoming.
