APA Hotel Kyoto Ekimae

This smart-looking business hotel is a good choice for its location. Rooms, however, are very small (the cheapest singles are minuscule) but pleasantly decorated and, though close to the train tracks, are relatively quiet. Japanese-style rooms are also available. In short, stay here or at its sister hotel below only if this book's top choices are full, you want to stay close to the station, or if you don't plan on spending any quality time in your room.

Just a 2-minute walk farther west is APA Hotel Kyotoeki-Horikawa Dori, 1 Nishi Aburakojicho, Shiokoji, Aburakoji Dori, across the street from the Rihga Royal Hotel (tel. 075/341-6111). It offers similarly miniature rooms (all with free Internet) at cheaper prices, beginning at ¥9,000 for a single, ¥12,000 for two in a semi-double (smaller than a full-size bed), 14,000 for a double, and ¥17,000 for a twin. The cheapest rooms face an inner courtyard (read: no sunshine), and you'll be climbing over your partner to get out of bed in the cheapest semi-double. Note that ¥500 per person is added to all APA hotels on Saturday and nights before public holidays; ¥1,000 to ¥2,000 per person is added in peak season.
