APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

APA Hotel Kyoto Eki Horikawadori

10/10 Excellent
"My only complaint was that there were only three washer/dryers in the entire hotel and I had to wake up at 2:00am to wash and dry my clothes when I was already exhausted. Every time I’d check there was a line of people waiting to use them. And it took a few cycles for my clothes to dry although I didn’t wash much."
