Northern Kyoto, Kyoto hotel rooms at the Independent

"Staff very helpful. There are 5 bikes available to use, first come basis. This is a great way to see Kyoto. Location also very good. "

"I heard APA hotels were “cheap hotels”, however this hotel was better than some in the states (US). They had laundry, they’ll hold luggage prior or after check in, they’ll forward your luggage too. Walkable to train station 10 mins. Cafe next door has better breakfast in my opinion but they’re about the same price. Curry place up the road has great food. And burger revolution nearby is a great option too. Family mart and 7- eleven are close too. I would stay again. "

"Magnificent stay. This is probably the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at. All staff were extremely helpful and even helped me contact the JR rail people after I left my passport on the train. The spa is amazing, and the location cannot be beat. I was genuinely sad to leave. "

"Excellent hotel and in a great area. Plenty of restaurants and bars around. Close to the transit and walkable for lots of stuff! Would stay here again for sure!!"

The bathroom was beautiful and spotless. Good amenities. Location was perfect. Will definitely come again!! "
