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.

Truly honest staff and cleaning person. My wife lost her wedding ring, left it in the hotel room was notified by the hotel staff and when we called the front desk person (he was very helpful). We came back and picked up the ring without problems. A for honesty and good front desk team from the moment we checked in, arrived early they offered to store our luggage until we checked in later in the evening.

Bit small if you're cramming more than 2 people in the room, but the location is great - walking distance to Yasaka Shrine, Gion, Yasaka Pagoda. Breakfast food is great.

I don't think I would come back for this hotel. I could hear the people next door talking. The wall is very thin I think... Staff were very kind and attentive.

Older building, but rooms are a decent size. Whole building either has heat or air conditioning, you don’t choose. If it’s too hot, you’re stuck cracking the window to cool off.

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.

We like the location bec of close proximity to almost everything you need - bus stop, train station and tourist spots around that are just walkable. We didn’t like the hotel room we stayed in for 8 nights because the carpet seems too dirty, so many stains around the room. The bed wasn’t comfortable either, too saggy. It looks like it has been used for 20 years already.
