5/5 Excellent

"Hotel Alza Kyoto was such a charming hotel with charming and extremely helpful and accommodating staff. I loved the feel of a small the hotel with only about 20 rooms. It overlooks Kamo River which makes for such a great stroll, jog, or bike ride, along with a beautiful view! I enjoyed the location as it was a few minutes walk from a major train station and within a reasonable walking distance to most of the other typical Gion destinations, though it was not right in the middle of all the bustle. I do hope I make it back to Kyoto again, and I would absolutely look to stay here again if I do! "

"This is definitely a higher end hotel, but it is still "affordable". The location is excellent and quiet. It is not in the middle of shopping and dining, but many shrines and temples are within walking distance. A subway station is only 2 minutes from the hotel, so you can go anywhere. There is also a hotel shuttle to drop you off at a couple of locations, but pick up is only from Kyoto station - about every 30 minutes. The breakfast option is outstanding and you should try it. The onsen is very very nice. We paid for the "view" but we ended up using very little of the "view" because we were out all day in the city already, and there were "views" everywhere already. But a room with a view does have a small balcony so if you like that, it is worth it. I will stay there again for sure. "
