Apa Kyoto-Gion Excellent

The location and good value for money make this hotel excellent for both sightseeing and business travellers. Business travellers can have access to other necessary office facilities, such as fax and copy services, for a small cost. Guests can enjoy the Yasaka shrine, the Kyoto Shijo Minami-za theatre and the Gion Kobu Kaburenjo theatre, which are all nearby. This area is interesting either by day or by night, and an evening stroll is highly recommended to take in the atmosphere of traditional Kyoto. (0908NN)
