This is one of the better APA hotels I have stayed at. The rooms are small but clean and have plenty of amenities. A nice extra was the free movie channel. The breakfast, although focused mainly on the Japanese palette, had enough variety for all. The room rate was incredibly affordable. Overall a nice comfortable stay. Recommended.

A real Japanese contemporary hotel

It's a super clean hotel, really gorgeous interior. The staff is so polite and so very helpful! They made sure the Takyubin would take our luggage to Kyoto on time for the next day, was so helpful to us! They were great! It's a shame the room and bathroom are so small, but it's a Japanese hotel, so that's how it is in this kind of hotel. Good price for what you get.

Comfortable

Comfortable and well equipped for a short stay. Rooms are a little smaller than some similar hotel chains, but perfectly OK and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. UK TV news and English language films were a plus.

I would stay here again!

Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Shower space was odd and water couldn’t be contained in the shower so floor was fairly wet. We were able to watch a movie in English which was a welcoming respite after being on the road for 12 days. Also the location was perfect to walk to the Himeji Castle and garden area and many reason Otemae-dori street.

We arrived an hour earlier for check in and lady at the front desk told us that if we would like to check in earlier we will need to pay additional 1000 yen per each hour. So room was ready. We stayed at 7 different hotels on our trip and Apa was the only one asking for payment for earlier check in even if room was ready. Otherwise hotel was good, clean, room was on the small size (on the photos looks bigger). We opted for breakfast which we did not like.

Nice and clean room. Lots of free streaming on the tv. Small bathroom. The temperature was awful, like 25C because you can't control the AC. The beds were very soft, which we do not prefer at least, but that is subjective.

Really good property, standard APA Hotel room. Very spacious and roughly a 6 minute walk from the main Himeji station. Good for solo travelers and dual travelers. Solo travelers can fit their check in, carryon and personal here. Two people can, but if they pack a tad lighter.
