Ala Hotel Kyoto ★★★★
"Third time to Kyoto but somehow first time chancing upon this hotel. Very convenient location, about 5 mins walk to Kyoto station. Personally didn’t try the hot spring as I had an injury, hope to try it one day. Breakfast was yummy, lots of options but similar dishes daily. Didn’t get to try everything as I’m not really a breakfast person. Love the vibe, it was so cozy I didnt want to leave. Really love that they use shower break pola range too!! Definitely will be back to stay again!"
