Ala Hotel Kyoto

The hotel is very close to Kyoto Station, making it convenient for getting around. They also have an onsen (hot spring bath) where you can soak away the fatigue from shopping. The bed in the room was firm, which was perfect for me as I have neck and back issues. The room isn't huge, but it's well-designed and doesn't feel cramped.

The hotel service was excellent. I twisted my ankle by accident, and they brought me ice. The second time they brought ice, they even thoughtfully included a dry towel to wrap it in. The front desk staff were very helpful and arranged a hospital appointment for me. Thumbs up! 👍

The hotel is relatively new and very clean. The room was larger than expected, and the separate toilet and shower were very convenient. It's a short walk from Kyoto Station, though you do have to go through an underpass. There are plenty of dining options nearby, enough for a short trip!

This was my second time staying at Hotel Ala. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the hotel is very close to Kyoto Station. Yodobashi Camera is just a short walk down the alley, making it super convenient to get anywhere. Plus, it's only about a fifteen-minute walk to the Kamo River.

This hotel is super convenient, right by Kyoto Station, just a 5-minute walk. Plus, there's a Lopia and Takashimaya nearby, which is a bonus. The room itself was really new. We stayed for four nights, and on the third night, we noticed the air conditioner was leaking a bit. I looked it up online, and it seems like it might be a clogged drain pipe. We had our child with us, and I had already disinfected so many surfaces in the room with alcohol wipes, so we just decided to stick with it rather than change rooms. I'd definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Kyoto. I've stayed at three hotels in Kyoto, and this one offered great value for money, especially at around 450 RMB during the summer. Oh, and there are tons of great food options around Kyoto Station! Just a heads-up: avoid Touyoutei. We ordered a set meal and then a cake, and after waiting 40 minutes for the cake, it still hadn't arrived. Our little one was practically falling asleep waiting!

You can enjoy the hot spring bath on the 10th floor, though it can get quite crowded sometimes due to tour groups. It's convenient that you can pick up toiletries, coffee, and tea bags in the lobby. The location is also great, just a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from Kyoto Station (depending on your luggage size and amount). It's incredibly convenient for exploring various attractions from Kyoto Station, which also offers a wide array of shopping and dining options. The hotel's service and cleanliness are outstanding. You can pick up disposable amenities yourself from the right-hand corner of the lobby, facing the front desk. Both the hot spring bath and the laundry/drying room are located on the 10th floor.
