Exception hotel with great view. Room was very spacious and offered everything we might need. It’s definitely a hotel we would love to stay at again. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and the facilities are top-notch.
Excellent location, spacious rooms, comfortable bed

Everything was excellent, staff super helpful and the place is super strategic with beautiful atmosphere, room was big not like in Tokyo, we’ve super happy to book such an amazingHotel
Room was excellent. Beautifully decorated. Used the bath and it was luxurious. Quiet neighborhood close to everything.
Our stay was too short
Great location and very friendly and helpful staff. Bathrooms and shower spacious
Rooms can be a little brighter and cleaner
The location was superb & the room was very large ( for Japan) for our family of 3 . Lovely peaceful setting near Gion district with easy walkability to all sites . Truly excellent .
Staff were a bit unsophisticated but very pleasant .
The hotel location is amazing for getting to major Kyoto sights. The staff was very helpful. The area is not very noisy, and when there is noise, the sound proofing was very good! Would recommend to other couples!
Nothing!
Lovely room. Very nice bathroom. Not too far from Gion, Nishiki market and lots of places to eat.
The location is hard to beat. On the quiet Gion district but only a block from the river the peaceful location is amazing.
There is no breakfast here but a lovely bakery two blocks away the staff told us about. It was incredible! Our room was massive for Japan. It had everything one would need. My only gripe is that the ventilation wasn’t great for the bathroom and there is a rug as the flooring which made the entry to the room smell a bit musty.
Awesome room with lots of space and handy Gion location without being too busy
Clean, well maintained, great location
Location, cleanliness and friendly and helpful staff
Wish there was coin laundry and restaurant inside the hotel as part of the amenities
The room had everything you would ever need and more. All the amenities were replenished every day. The size of the room was gigantic, which is rare for Japan. The room was cleaned spotless everyday. The location was stellar.
There is a smokers room in the lobby, that doesn’t seem to be properly ventilated. Hence, the lobby had a stale cigarette smell which was quite unpleasant
Terrific location, comfortable and quiet rooms, extremely helpful staff.
Everything is perfect. The location is great, very central, yet quiet. The room is large and perfectly equipped with everything necessary and even more! The staff is very nice.
The looks of the interiors outside of the room (corridors, escalators, etc.) could use a full refurbishment, it is rather old and doesn't do justice to the wonderful rooms. At first, when we arrived and before we got to the room, we believed we made the wrong choice :)
The location in the Gion district and across from the river was outstanding! The service and staff were exceptional and the room was large and comfortable! Great bed too! We enjoyed having our breakfast overlooking the river every morning. I highly recommend Hotel Alza Kyoto!
Everything was fantastic!
Location, quiet and super comfy beds. Cool bathrooms
