APA Hotel Eki Horikawadori rooms seemed smaller than other Japanese hotels. It was amazing how everything fit just perfectly in the room. We were on the 2nd floor and it was very noisy from the traffic and the trains. Otherwise it was a okay room. Next time I will request a higher floor to avoid the noise. Near Kyoto station.

The staffs are very helpful and polite. They shared their celebrations by providing a small gift with the guests as well, building a rapport between the staffs and guests in the hotel. I find this occasion is very rare from other hotels including in my own country. It was a pleasant experience. The only concern I have is the sharing of the washing machine. Most guests were feeling frustrated as there are only a few washing machines at 1 level only. I would suggest to provide a laundry service or information of the nearest coin laundry in the hotel area to the guests to avoid longer waiting time.

Room was small but that’s normal here in japan and i actually liked it as a solo traveler. Staff was very helpful as well with assisting me with taqbin stuff and was overall very polite. It’s also close enough to the station.
