Karasuma, Kyoto hotel rooms at the APA Hotels

The NEST at Nishiki is both a new and an exceptional property. The rooms were spotless and functional, the staff was extremely attentive, and the location was just perfect--steps from the Nishiki Market and the Gion district. Yet the single most outstanding feature of the NEST at Nishiki is its manager, Ms. Chie Nakamura. She is professional, knowledgeable, a top-notch hotelier, and a wonderful person. This hotel is a reflection of its manager. ありがとうございました.

The hotel was great! The staff was polite and inviting. The rooms was spacious. And the lounge was great for breakfast and beverages in the evening.

Excellent hotel, highly recommended. It has everything you need.

Helpful staff, tea and snacks upon arrival was a welcoming touch. Places to eat nearby. Train stations in different directions nearby. Loved the washer/dryer in the room! Will definitely stay here again!

great location

This hotel was the best out of the hotels we stayed at on our two week trip (3 hotels total). If you’re looking for a great hotel in Kyoto it’s this hotel. Room was clean and beautiful. Bed was excellent (all other beds we slept on were hard and bad). Bathroom was great! Close to the subway and bus stop (use the bus - super easy, fast and clean). Next door to convenience store (very helpful). Blocks from Kyoto station (also very helpful). One block from a beautiful shrine. Coin-op laundromat...

We enjoyed our stay very much!

I really want to highlight how helpful the staff was, they really made our stay the best. Also the rooms were a very good size with lots of space and rooms were always clean.

Hotel is new , clean, and quiet. At the heart of shopping district but quite and organized.

Excellent property and staff. The afternoon sweets and cocktails should not be missed. Note, they stop admitting people about 30 minutes before closing time so give yourself some extra time.

Amazing value, felt very luxurious and everything was super clean and thoughtful to the smallest details. The onsen was clean, they provided a lovely welcome drink, free snacks, and a great gym. Decent location. Thanks for the stay and will be back!

Very convenient location, friendly staff and easy check in and check out process.

Great hotel

I had a great stay at THE GATE Hotel in Kyoto! The property is modern, clean, and well-maintained. One of the highlights is definitely the top floor, where the reception and bar are located—it offers a stunning panoramic view of the city, especially at sunset. The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the train station and close to several local attractions, which made it easy to explore Kyoto. Overall, a comfortable and stylish place to stay. I’d definitely come back!

This hotel is perfectly situated- it is an easy walk from the Sanjo station and it’s embedded within the ultra-beautiful Gion district. The hotel staff are English-fluent, ready-and-waiting to answer questions, give directions, and make recommendations. Our rooms (we had two and stayed for three nights) were aesthetically lovely and spotless. Our shower was pristine and modern, though I regretted not booking a room with a soaking tub. Breakfast was in keeping with our overall experience:...

Great little hotel. Very quiet and calm. Great showers. Lots of pastries and drinks, which solved the problem of breakfast, especially for us, as we woke up at 5 am most days. (We noticed that some guests filled up bags of croissants after checking out, which was really sad to see, as they just emptied out the box of pastries into a plastic bag and left other guests nothing.) there is a 7/11 and a metro line right next to it. And some nice restaurants around too.

Absolutely a perfect location in Kyoto very close walk to the best shopping and many of the temples close to some great restaurants highly recommend

This is a modern hotel in a great location, located on top of a subway station only 4 stops without transfer from Kyoto Station. The subway and bus options are very convenient. There are many restaurants and cafes within walking distance and of course several Seven's and a nice grocery store nearby. The beds are comfortably and the Nespresso machines were great. Check-in was easy and the staff is extremely helpful and courteous. Special gratitude goes to the staff and management, who...
