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
No chairs and no lounge area and this is the only bench they have in the lobby.
This is the window from bathroom and its very bright in the morning

This is my second visit to ALA Hotel Kyoto. The experience was extraordinary, and the service was great. The public bath is another reason for coming back to ALA. Besides, it only takes around 8 min walk from Kyoto JR station, which is super convenient.
