Viihtyisä hotelli

Hotellissa oli panostettu yksityiskohtiin kuten huoneen varusteluihin. Viihtyisä pieni hotelli. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä. Huone oli tilava.

zentral gelegenes Mittelklassehotel, gute Basis zur Erkundung von Kyoto

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Unser Zimmer mit Stadtblick war ruhig und groß genug. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Es handelt sich um ein gutes Mittelklassehotel (3 Sterne wären es wohl). Die Einrichtung im Zimmer war teilweise schon etwas angegraut. Nichts so gut hat uns das Frühstück gefallen, das immer gleich war (auswählen konnte man nur zwischen Japanese und Western Style) und zu einer vorher festzulegenden Zeit aufs Zimmer gebracht wurde (da es kein Restaurant gibt). Auch wenn wir in der Kirschblütenzeit da waren, war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis doch nicht optimal.

Great little hotel in Kyoto

Hotel Alza Kyoto is in a great location, it's lovely little hotel. The staff were helpful and allowed us to check in early and leave baggage when we left.

It would have been great to have breakfast but that wasn't an option with this hotel. But overall a really good place to stay in Kyoto.

Convenient location, great amenities, professional and helpful staff.

Great location, conveniently located in the northwest corner of the Gion district and a short walk over to the Pontocho area. The amenities were first rate and the staff were accommodating and professional.

Hôtel très bien situé et de qualité mais pas celle d’un 5 étoiles

Proximité du quartier de Gion et du métro et des bus avec grande facilité d’accéder aux divers monuments historiques et de visite La vue sur la rivière depuis notre chambre L’attention de l’hôtel pour notre voyage de noces

Moquette tachée mais pas sale à proprement parlé Après utilisation on ne nous remet pas de peignoirs chaque jour Usure de la douche pas vraiment à la hauteur d’un hôtel 5 étoiles Pas de chaînes télévision internationale, même s’il est vrai que l’on ne vient pas pour ça, pour un hôtel qui se veut d’ampleur international et 5 étoiles c’est un peu léger Service général par vraiment à la hauteur d’un hôtel 5 étoiles (on porte nos bagages jusqu’à notre chambre….)

Perfect stay with absolute value for money.

Great location and a beautiful large room with every amenity that one would need. Beds were comfortable. Close to many of the picturesque walls and a convenience store right around the corner..perfect!

The breakfast arrangements can be made more clear while checking in. We didn’t realise that you had to book it a day in advance.

Staying at Hotel Alza was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

The rooms were large and luxurious. The hotel is in an excellent location. The hotel staff were wonderful and helped us arrange a Kaiseki dinner which was one of the highlights of our trip.

Exceptional

Great location, very clean, and wonderful staff; however, what impressed us the most was the hotel’s level of attention to guest’s needs. Our room had double doors and windows to block off street noise (brilliant!), and all in-room amenities plus extra goodies (loved!) were provided. We stayed at 4 different hotels during this 10 days trip in Japan and hotel Alza was the only hotel that I didn’t have to call the frontdesk to ask for an iron and ironboard, or walk to the lobby to get personal care products. I definitely would return to Alza and recommend to others.

The perfect hotel.

Great location and very clean hotel. Super quiet. Within walking distance of two stations and an easy cab ride (about £10 or $13) to the Shinkansen station for those arriving and leaving if you’re getting the high speed train. Getting around is incredibly easy. The staff at the hotel were so friendly. They couldn’t do enough to help.Japanese breakfasts were a great touch. The hotel is in the Gion district so all the local shrines and hills are very close. I also have to recommend Mr Soy too- a wonderful doughnut place just ten minutes from the hotel. The best in the world! Will definitely stay here again.

Nothing. It was wonderful.

Overall it was really great : )

The hotel was really great and in a tranquil areas. It is really fitted for a relax getaway, the view was amazing. Breakfast and dinner was good.

The boiler broke down during our stay so there is no hot water to shower in the room. But we could get hot water in the common bathroom but it is not enjoyable for me as it was cold during our stay. The staff did their best to rectify the issue though so thank you!

Nice well built hotel in the old town.

The quality of the build was impressive. Also, being in 'old' Kyoto near the canals was excellent. Many restaurants nearby and a lovely view of the river.

It's always nice to eat communally. So breakfast in the room has its limitations.

wonderfull stay.

Everything: location, view from the rooms, service. The rooms are spacious, beds are very comfortable, very nice bathroom, with micro bubble bathtub and lots of amenities. We felt very much pampered staying at Hotel Alza.

number 1 hotel to stay when we return to Kyoto

Couldn't have had a better location in Kyoto. Central to all the attractions we wanted to visit, and walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Best hotel of our trip to Japan. Hospitality of the staff, particularly Liu was best in class. It reminded me of the high standards the hotel industry used to have, informative about restaurants, helped with reservations and were very polite. The facilities in the room were top notch as well.

Amazing stay

Our room was very spacious, comfortable, super clean, and simply pretty. There was free water, soybean coffee, tea, and even face masks for us to enjoy in the room. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, we bored them with a lot of questions but they always gave us good advice. The location could not have been better.

There could have been a bit more of a choice for breakfast but it was ok. We liked the fact that it was brought into our room.

Huge room for Japan, huge comfortable bed, the best shower I have ever used and great for accessing Kyoto.

The rooms by the river have some noise from the subway. The rooms facing the street were quieter.

Luxury

The rooms are so big for Japan. The bed is super comfortable and the shower is amazing. I stayed in a number of rooms as we kept extending our stay, my favourite room was the one facing the street as it was quietest. The ones facing the river seem to have some low level noise from the Subway but it's not very bad my any means. I slept perfectly in all of the rooms.

The breakfast was fine but the Japanese style breakfast wasn't for me. Personal preference only.
