This hotel was amazing. I've lived in Japan and traveled for a long while but this hotel was so large and comfortable, something rare with hotels in Japan. The price was perfect and had the same standards as a five star hotel.

Room was small (as expected) but very bright and warm and the space was used really well. Actually, it was the only Japan room we stayed in that had a closet! And the bed and the shower were both some of the biggest we experienced during our Japan visit! We also loved the lounge area and it was a great touch that they provided free drinks there.

ALA HOTEL KYOTO is super awesome. First of all, the location is near Kyoto station, probably 5-minute walk from train station. Secondly, all the shops you want are around the hotel, such as convenience stores, shopping malls and restaurants. Moreover, the bus stop is not far away so that you are able to take bus to any attractions in Kyoto city. Finally, there is a nice and clean public restroom on the top of the building. In conclusion, I highly recommend ALA HOTEL KYOTO to everyone and I will definitely stay with the hotel again.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the TV app not working upon check-in. The front desk lady sent technical staff and fixed it immediately after receiving the report. Rooms were spacious, clean and cozy. Breakfast choices were plenty and good. Bedding and pillows were good. Toiletries provided were of good quality. Location is great and within walking distance to the tram station. There are convenient stores within 5-min walk. Price was reasonable considering the quality services provided.

Central Gion and very accessible. Thank you to the staff for assisting us to retrieve some luggage we left in our taxi when we arrived. You turned a stressful situation into something that was resolved within 20 minutes. Travelling with young children is never easy and you showed us professionalism that we were delighted to see after a long journey. Thank you.

    The location is great, basically across the road from the station, about 5 to 7 minute walk. From there you can get to anywhere in the city quite easily. The hotel is new and much thought has been given to the decor. It is stylish and interesting with a Japanese touch. The rooms have a warm feeling with warm coloured floral carpets and wood features in the furniture. The bed linen was great and the beds extremely comfortable. The bathrooms are modern and the water pressure excellent.

    The hotel is simply wonderful! Our room was simple yet well renovated, stylish, modern and new too. Totally worth the price and location is great too. The hotel is situated on a main road in Kyoto city centre, easy access to most of the places. There is a common spa, sauna and public bath area but we didn't get to use them. Would recommend to those who're traveling to Kyoto!
