ALA HOTEL KYOTO was an excellent place to stay during our visit to Kyoto. The hotel was clean, modern, and well maintained, with comfortable rooms that provided everything we needed after long days of exploring the city.

The location was a major highlight, offering convenient access to Kyoto Station and making it easy to get around the city and beyond. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any questions or requests.

The hotel facilities were impressive, and the overall atmosphere felt relaxing despite being in such a convenient central location. Everything was well organized, and the service was consistently good throughout our stay.

Overall, ALA HOTEL KYOTO provided a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I would happily stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a well-located, modern hotel in Kyoto.

LOVED this hotel and stayed for 5 nights. Would definitely stay here again. Easy walk from the station, especially when traveling with luggage. The location was very convenient with 7-11 across the road and lots of cafes and restaurants nearby.
The room was so comfortable. Beds and bedding were also very comfortable and made for many good nights of sleep. Complimentary water. Modern and spotlessly clean bathroom and toilet. We had a view out to Kyoto tower.
Lots of usb ports was very useful. Staff were helpful and we could store our luggage at the hotel until check in. Highly recommend this hotel.

Stayed 3 nights. Overall good stay. There was a minor mix-up at the beginning, because we had shipped our luggage ahead of time from Osaka, the hotel staff put our luggage in our rooms before we checked in but they mixed up my luggage with someone else's so I had to take the misplace luggage downstairs and retrieve mine. Fortunately they were able to resolve it quickly so no harm done.

Staff was always friendly and helpful.

Had planned to use the gym, but it only had cardio machines and mats, and we got enough cardio in each day walking around.

Beds were comfy but could have used more than one pillow per bed.

Appreciated that the washers and dryers were free to use (just need to buy detergent).

Would stay here again.

This is not a 4 star hotel, more like a 2 star or a couple of steps above a hostel. Rooms are tiny and there’s no closet or wardrobe to put your clothes. No iron or ironing board either. Their breakfast was decent though and the location of the hotel is central to a lot of things.

The hotel is a short walk from the Kyoto station. The property itself is elegant! Our room was spacious and beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. The window didn't have much of a view considering the hotel is in the city, but there was a small rock garden just outside that made up for it. The buffet breakfast offered both Western and traditional Japanese fare and was delicious. It was worth the extra cost. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Kyoto.

Everything is good. Staff are nice, property is new ish and created a zen kind of vibe. We picked the twin room that isn’t the smallest size and it faces the main road, which the glass window is not thick enough and we can hear the road noise and cars revs.

The only downsides are the coffee and washer and dryer. The coffee they serve was instant and tastes so weak for my taste. The washer and dryer that they have are nice and for free to use but the dryer seems to take forever to dry clothes.

The hotel is only 4 minutes from Kyoto station. The rooms were nice and well maintained. The hotel had a public onsen which was do nice and convenient. As an American, we found the pillows hard but they provided us with softer ones at our request. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful hotel! The location was fantastic, easy walking distance to Kyoto station and great restaurants and izakayas. The staff was exceptional and took our bags to our room so we could jet off on a tour we were running late for. My son enjoyed the onsen/public bath while I enjoyed the nice deep tub in the room. The breakfast buffet was seriously over the top with everything you could desire, including fresh baked bread and pastries to omelet bar, and every Japanese entre to try soft serve ice cream, espresso, etc

My partner and I visited Japan recently and this was our favorite hotel stay. The property is about a 7 minute walk from the train station, and a 15ish minute walk to the main shopping areas. It is surrounded by plenty of restaurants and locally owned shops as well. While they charge an extra fee for early check in, we were able to leave our luggage in the lobby and explore the town until the check in time began. Staff is friendly and easy to communicate with. The room is gorgeous and while a little on the smaller side, it was extremely cozy, clean and quiet. Would 100% stay here again and take advantage of the on-site restaurant.

The room was very nice and clean. It was great to return to our rooms after a long day to a clean and tidy space. It was disappointing that there was but one small window in the room so it was not a bright room. There was nothing to see. The tub and shower was in one room and the sink and vanity was very narrow. Having access to Netflix was a big plus since we couldn’t understand Japanese. The one annoying thing was that the bgm-background music would always turn on as soon as you entered the room. It wasn’t a setting that you could leave off! Bed was very comfortable and room was spacious. Front desk staff was very helpful. Location close to Kyoto station was a big plus and having 7-11 across the street for late night snacks was convenient.

Relaxing and secure place

We didn’t take breakfast but used the laundry which was ok but dryers took a long time. The iron and ironing board was somewhat difficult a full size ironing board would be better. The staff were excellent in appearance and manner. Room was very clean but two pillows per person would be bette. Staff happily provided extra pillows on request. Would definitely recommend this hotel when visiting Kyoto.

Great location (so close to Kyoto station), beautiful hotel with spacious accommodations, especially for Japan standards. Staff was great and extremely helpful. Just make sure if you decide to do laundry there make sure you buy enough detergent and when you dry make sure you do it for two cycles for regular loads. It does get busy in the laundry room. If you’re jet lagged best to do it in the middle of the night to beat the crowds 👌 but other than that, this has been my fav stay of my Japan trip (out of 3 hotels)

Hotel was clean and staff was very nice. The public onsen for guests upstairs was very convenient, along with umbrellas for guests to use if it was wet outside. We were able to send our luggage to our next hotel in the lobby. Laundry in the hotel was free, but there are only 4 small washing machines. The hotel instructions tell you to dry your load in half. It was very busy at night and people were fighting for machines. The dryers are slow at drying so take that into account. Overall great stay.

A Great Hotel - Highly Recommended

Located 5 mins walk from Kyoto Station, the ALA Hotel is a great place to stay. Its proximity to the Station offers great train, metro and bus links to all the surrounding sights and attractions. As well as to the hugh range of shops and restaurants etc. around the Station area.

The ALA Hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were all very polite, helpful and couldn’t do enough for me.

I stayed for 3 nights and had a nice size room (620) overlooking the front of the hotel. With a very comfortable bed. I used the free fitness room (running machine, cross trainer, abdominal trainer & exercise area) a couple of times during my stay. I also used the hotel Onsen, which was very clean and not crowded.

I didn’t use the restaurant, but the menu looked nice.

I highly recommend the ALA Hotel, Kyoto and look forward to staying there again.

Its good, but …just basic

Pros: so close to Kyoto station, has hot spring Ofuro, lots of shops, clean, nice service.
Cons: the room is so bright, cannot sleep! One of windows from the bathroom n don't hav proper curtain that its so bright in the morning, bad design. This hotel do not want you to be around so there is no lounge area, no cafe or restaurant open, no chairs except this vertical sitting bench in photo. My friends stop by and we literally sat on this uncomfortable bench n to chat or when you come early n wait for check in time, no decent place for your family to sit and wait. So as hotel, clean and helpful but if you need some other basic, they dont have it. Be aware
