The stand out about this hotel is the people. Everything with the property is excellent. But a hotel is about people. The people that care for you here are so lovely and warm that they feel more like family. You really look forward to seeing them every day and engaging them on the traditions and culture of Japan.

We had an excellent stay at Premium Apart MONday KYOTO GOJO. The room was spacious and clean and had an awesome shower (I looked forward to this after long days of sightseeing!). The fact that we had a washer/dryer in our room was a huge blessing. In the future, we will always try to find an apart hotel that has this convenience as it allows you to do a load of laundry every evening and therefore pack way less clothes! The location of the hotel was walking distance to the Gojo station (Karasuma line) from which we started most of our adventures. Nearby were also a 24hr Fresco supermarket, two drugstores, a small 100 yen store, and several restaurants (including McDonalds). The staff at the Hotel were awesome and extremely helpful. They booked us on a memorable Hotel MONday sponsored trip to the Miyama Winter Lantern Festival that was one of the many highlights or our stay in Kyoto. The manager Koji Ohta was gracious and kind and personally greeted us one morning. Overall we had an excellent stay at the Premium Apart MONday KYOTO GOJO, and will try to stay here again if we ever return to Kyoto.
