The location is prime for exploring, with Kiyomizudera Temple, Gion, and Nishiki Market all within walking distance. The room had a nice fridge and solid water pressure in the shower.

Rooms are cramped with awkward shapes and limited storage. The A/C isn't adjustable by guests, leading to an uncomfortable chill if not turned off completely. Housekeeping could improve. noted were stains on linens and leftover trash from previous guests.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Apa Hotel Kyoto Gion Excellent. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from Yasaka Shrine and vibrant streets filled with traditional charm. The staff were exceptionally helpful and made my visit comfortable.

Room was quite small.

What makes it worth it – and what doesn’t

Location near the serene Yasaka Shrine and easy access to kimono rentals were fantastic. Comfortable beds and helpful staff made my stay enjoyable.

The room size was a bit cramped, and sound isolation was lacking, making it hard to have peaceful nights.

Awesome location near Yasaka Shrine & vibrant Gion streets! The staff was super helpful with our luggage shipment. The room was a bit cramped, though. 😅

The location is perfect for exploring, especially with nearby gems like Yasaka Shrine. We enjoyed a delightful breakfast buffet that catered to various tastes. It was also accommodating for our family and our dog, making it a memorable stay.

My wife says that the rooms could be more spacious.

Right in the heart of Gion, Apa Hotel Kyoto Gion Excellent has a stellar location, just steps away from the Yasaka Shrine and vibrant streets filled with charm. The breakfast buffet is a delightful mix of Japanese and Western dishes—great for fueling up before a day of exploring! Super clean rooms and comfy beds make it hard to leave.

Room was tiny.

Conveniently located, friendly staff, excellent cleanliness – a fantastic choice for exploring Kyoto.

The location is truly remarkable, with easy access to nearby attractions like Yasaka Shrine and Gion, making it a great base for exploring the area. The staff was polite and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience. However, the rooms were quite small and could feel stuffy due to centralized heating. Noise from street traffic was noticeable at times, which may disturb light sleepers. Amenities were sufficiently basic, without much additional comfort provided.

Just a good match for a whistle-stop in Kyoto with great value-to-price ratio. The location was super convenient for walking to local attractions like Yasaka Shrine and Gion.

Incredible location with amazing local experiences

I loved staying here due to its prime location right in front of Yasaka Shrine and the surrounding streets filled with charm. Exploring Gion's quiet alleys at night and finding delicious street food was a highlight. The spacious room made our stay comfortable, and the breakfast buffet offered a nice variety that satisfied our cravings. I wish the Wi-Fi was better, as it was quite slow during our stay.

The location was amazing, just steps away from Yasaka Shrine and vibrant streets filled with charm! The staff were friendly and very accommodating, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast offered a decent variety but could be improved.

Rooms could feel a bit cluttered without daily cleaning. ensure to request it!

Perfect spot for exploring!

We really loved the location, super close to Yasaka Shrine and all the cute streets of Gion! The staff were super nice and helped us with our bags, which was cool. Just wish the room had a bit more space. it felt cramped, especially with the furniture layout. The dining area was nice for grabbing breakfast too.

Fast Wi-Fi and a cozy coffee shop downstairs. Room was cramped, though.
