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.

This hotel is clean, had good comfy bed, good shower and good staff. The best thing is that it is only 5 mins walk from Kyoto Station which was very convenient; since the Station itself had many restaurants, stores, and even a dept. store (Isetan). I feel it is the perfect location to get around Kyoto.
