    Great location and very friendly and helpful staff. Bathrooms and shower spacious

    Rooms can be a little brighter and cleaner

    10maureenPosted on: 11-25-2025

    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 .

    10RyanPosted on: 11-18-2025

    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!

    10WinniePosted on: 11-18-2025

    Lovely room. Very nice bathroom. Not too far from Gion, Nishiki market and lots of places to eat.

    9AmandaPosted on: 11-18-2025

    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.

    10BrucePosted on: 11-16-2025

    Awesome room with lots of space and handy Gion location without being too busy

    10RobertPosted on: 11-12-2025

    Clean, well maintained, great location

    10SathishKumaarPosted on: 11-12-2025

    Location, cleanliness and friendly and helpful staff

    Wish there was coin laundry and restaurant inside the hotel as part of the amenities

    9Macarena I.Posted on: 11-8-2025

    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

    10AlexandraPosted on: 10-29-2025

    Terrific location, comfortable and quiet rooms, extremely helpful staff.

    10MadalinaPosted on: 10-22-2025

    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 :)

    10PaulaPosted on: 10-19-2025

    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!
