Ala Hotel Kyoto

The hotel is near the JR station, so it’s convenient to travel and there are a lot of restaurants nearby. There is also a 7-11 right opposite the hotel. There was some stains on my pillow and inside the fridge.

The hotel is totally worth what we paid for. The room is spacious and the reception is helpful in assisting with our requests. The hotel is 5 minutes walk away from Kyoto station and a short ride to the attractions. Our best stay so far in Japan!

Ala Kyoto Hotel is superb! I stayed for my birthday and it was lovely - clean, great location (near to Kyoto station) and easy enough to get the bus to Gion (shopping area). The staff’s customer service was exceptional - went through extra lengths for my birthday and sorted out forwarding our luggage. The hotel’s laundry facilities were great, the gym was a little small but had what you really needed if you wanted to run/cycle/elliptical. I didn’t try the onset but imagine it was good! Nothing to complain, the rooms were lovely! - stayed in both the double and twin - lots of space in both (larger than most in Japan). Highly recommend, the prices are usually good but stayed during golden week, so the prices were inflated but still worth the money. 10/10.

Really enjoyed staying at Ala Kyoto Hotel. Nice comfortable room, bigger than your normal Kyoto hotels. Many shops and restaurants around the area so very convenient. And a big parking lot right next to hotel. Also have onsen public bath with many sit down shower stalls. They had a vast variety for breakfast. And a DONKI 2 blocks down from them. Definitely will come again if I go to Kyoto!

The hotel is great, location was very convenient - walking distance to Kyoto Stn and multiple bus stops that are along the routes of city buses to get to popular destinations. The room was spacious and there was separate dry and wet toilets. The only disappointment I had was that I booked a room with the (Kyoto) tower view but was given a room on a low floor… so I could barely see the tower at all 🥲 Other than that though, the hotel was nice and I would stay here again.

The hotel staff was really helpful as we lost our passport at a rest stop in Northern Kyoto and they helped us call the rest stop several times. In the end, we managed to retrieve our passport! Thanks for helping to communicate whilst we are unable to do so fluently in Japanese!
