Modern hotel with good facilities other than the WiFi that is more than often not working. Room is a little small by western standards but very clean and comfy. Nice location near Kyoto train station and a short bus ride from Nishiki market

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.
