The property is conveniently located in walking tourist areas (Gion district, shopping areas, etc), Seven Eleven store is a few steps away. Breakfast is served in the room either Japanese breakfast style or Western breakfast style. I liked Japanese breakfast style. Staff speaks English, professional, friendly, and helpful. There are complimentary personal hygiene items (hairbrush, razor, toothpaste, toothbrushes, face masks, etc). I like the shower, the location of the property, many restaurants/shops in walking distance

So glad we booked this hotel. Location was perfect. Not far from train and bus stations and easy to take cab. Plenty of food choice and great options nearby. The hotel offers daily cleaning as well, which is rare for Japan. Even our Japanese friends came to join us and stayed at the same hotel were impressed. Service was excellent and no issue in communication. We had our luggage sent via agent and it reached before us. The hotel staff nicely put it before we arrived and gave us an early check in. Highly recommended the hotel.

I just left Hotel Alza and already miss it. We stayed in numerous hotels during our vacation in Japan and hotel Alza was by far the best one. The room was spacious, especially by Japanese standards, bed soft and comfortable, bathroom with jazuzi tub, warm and friendly staff. I absolutely loved their pajamas. I didn't know what to expect from a 2-star hotel but it definitely surpassed my expectations. It felt like a 5 star hotel. They provided welcome snack, shaving razors, face sheet masks, mouthwash, all the things that other 5 star hotels didn't provide. Location was fantastic, convenient to major sightseeing points. Kyoto has a ton of hotels to choose from, but I would definitely return to this one.

Hotel Alza Kyoto was hands down the best of the four hotels I stayed in during my trip to Japan. The location is unbeatable—perfectly situated near transportation and major tourist sites, making it easy to explore the city. The room was spotless, modern, and filled with high-tech touches that made the stay extra comfortable. One of the highlights? A jacuzzi tub with a built-in TV—such a relaxing treat after a day of sightseeing. Everything about my stay felt thoughtful and top-quality. Highly recommended!
