We really enjoyed our stay at Ala. The hotel is very modern and centrally located - we specifically chose it because of its close proximity to the train station. Our favourite facility was their onsen, which was clean and well maintained. I would love to come and stay again

Great stay

The rooms was large and its finishings were all thoughtful and fresh. The hotel offered great services which all surpassed my expectations (staff, bath, laundry). The location is very convenient with the station very close and a 711 across the street.

I think the small little things they have to offer such as the amenities and the area having so many different food options as well as being super accessible to the train station was very convenient and very easy to get to.

Wonderful modern hotel, conveniently located close to Kyoto central (5 min walk). Large room with separated toilet and large bathroom. Breakfast is mostly japanese style and excellent, assuming ofc that you do not prefer a Western style one. Omelette station was available. Would love to stay here again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Nice size room and bathroom. Within walking distance from the station to drop bags off and then look round town. Bus stops were in good walking distance and lots of convience stores around the block opposite the entrance (and restaurants).

I had a wonderful stay at ALA Hotel Kyoto! The location is extremely convenient — it’s just a short walk from the train station and surrounded by plenty of great eateries. Having a convenience store right across the street was also super handy. One of the highlights of my stay was the onsen within the hotel — it was clean, relaxing, and the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto and would love to stay here again!
