There is no blocking the light through the bathroom into the bedroom. The attached photos were taken at approximately 6am, which is not when we wanted to wake up on our holiday. Otherwise, hotel is good and great public spa on the 10th Floor. Free laundry room too! Just purchase your washing powder from the front reception. Location was amazing and convenient to both Kyoto Station and buses.

Good location. 5 miss walk to JR Kyoto station. Room a bit compact but cosy. Good lighting. Wifi seems unstable. Smart TV with YouTube installed.

The hotel is near the JR station, so it’s convenient to travel and there are a lot of restaurants nearby. There is also a 7-11 right opposite the hotel. There was some stains on my pillow and inside the fridge.

The hotel is totally worth what we paid for. The room is spacious and the reception is helpful in assisting with our requests. The hotel is 5 minutes walk away from Kyoto station and a short ride to the attractions. Our best stay so far in Japan!

Ala Kyoto Hotel is superb! I stayed for my birthday and it was lovely - clean, great location (near to Kyoto station) and easy enough to get the bus to Gion (shopping area). The staff’s customer service was exceptional - went through extra lengths for my birthday and sorted out forwarding our luggage. The hotel’s laundry facilities were great, the gym was a little small but had what you really needed if you wanted to run/cycle/elliptical. I didn’t try the onset but imagine it was good! Nothing to complain, the rooms were lovely! - stayed in both the double and twin - lots of space in both (larger than most in Japan). Highly recommend, the prices are usually good but stayed during golden week, so the prices were inflated but still worth the money. 10/10.

Really enjoyed staying at Ala Kyoto Hotel. Nice comfortable room, bigger than your normal Kyoto hotels. Many shops and restaurants around the area so very convenient. And a big parking lot right next to hotel. Also have onsen public bath with many sit down shower stalls. They had a vast variety for breakfast. And a DONKI 2 blocks down from them. Definitely will come again if I go to Kyoto!
