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.

Great location

Great location near Yasaka Shrine, Kennin-ji, and Kiyomeza Dera. Very much enjoyed the Japanese style breakfast buffet. The hotel was undergoing renovation work in April 2025 so the exterior and all windows were entirely covered, so some travelers will object.

Good stay at the hotel. However the bed was pretty bad. It sinks a lot. Beside that, everything was good. Very easy to take the bus, to walk around and to shop

Rooms were tight but we got a connecting room for our boys so that helped. I only gave 4 stars because the beds were really worn out and uncomfortable.

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.

Love that it was close to everything. I even got up early, grabbed my Starbucks downstairs and walked the 1 1/2 miles to the train station. Lovely scenery

4/10 Fair

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.
