Loved by Apa Hotel Kyoto Ekihigashi guests
"The onsite hot spa was a bonus."
"There is also an onsen, relatively compact but everything you need."
"The hotel is like most of the APA hotels, except it has a sento (public bath) for the guests so I think that's a nice bonus."

I find a king size bed bigger than usual in Japan. The rooms are comfortable and always super clean. I appreciate the convenience to metro and stores. A bus stop nearby helped to see cool spots.

the location was good for using trains. it's right near the station.
The staff seemed unfriendly and unhelpful. The ac wasn't working so the room was very hot. i couldn't open the window and the room was uncomfortable. i would not stay there again due to this problem.

average stay, some issues
cramped roomunfriendly staff
The room felt cramped with the king bed. It really took up all the space. i found it difficult to move around freely. also, the staff member at check-in wasn't particularly friendly, which didn't make a great first impression. i think improvements in room layout and staff attitude would make a big difference.
