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.

Location of the property was great. Close to bus stops for you to travel to different places. A block away to the main Gion street. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Rooms are run down looking but they are currently going through a renovation. I would assume once renovations are completed it will be a much nicer hotel than it currently is.

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.

Walking distance to all the activities I had planned, easy to get to via transportation. Only problem I had was that it was too hot. The staff provided me with a fan and that helped cool down the room a bit.

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.

Loved this location, super close to everything and next door is Yasaka shrine. Only a 15 minute walk to Ninenzaka. Building is currently under construction so was a little hard to find in the beginning since the sign was covered. Was a little hot in the room, they only have heat and fan but when the fan was turned on it would just have warm air. The window was unable to open since front was under construction.
