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.

Staff and room was amazing. Really great location, not too loud, and good walking distance from Kyoto station. There were lots of food options nearby, including a great ramen restaurant that we frequented. The only point of criticism is the fitness center lacks weights, even basic ones.

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.
