Romantic Hotels in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

The room was a bit small, but very clean. The breakfast had a great variety. Most importantly, the location was super convenient, right across from Kyoto Station. It seems to be a very popular hotel, as there were frequent queues for breakfast.

The breakfast was very delicious and had a wide variety of choices. Everything tasted great and I never got bored of it even after a few days. The onsen was also very comfortable and relaxing — it was the perfect way to unwind after a long day. I also really liked the shampoo and bath amenities provided by the hotel; they smelled amazing and made my hair feel very smooth. Another nice touch was that the hotel provided free laundry washing, although the dryer required a small fee. They also offered free ramen at night, which was a really nice service, but I was too full to try it at the time. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again!

This is a long-established hotel, very close to Kyoto Station, the city's main transportation hub. The rooms are spacious with large windows that let in plenty of light. For breakfast, you have a choice of two restaurants: one is a rotating restaurant on a high floor with great views, offering a set menu. The other is a buffet on the first floor with a very rich selection. The downsides are the lack of laundry facilities, the bathroom isn't wet/dry separated, and the room lighting is a bit dim.

The hotel is very close to the bus stop, and the subway station is just a short walk away. There's a supermarket right downstairs which is super convenient for snacks and meals, and a FamilyMart directly opposite. Plus, there's a 7-Eleven down the alley to the left, which is also very handy. The room itself was clean and quite spacious, the bed was comfortably firm, and the self-service amenities were great. Highly recommend!

A truly comfortable stay. The hotel boasts a fantastic design aesthetic, from the lobby to the rooms, seamlessly blending Japanese aesthetics with modern design. The in-room lighting is superb, and both the bed and sofa were incredibly comfortable. The space is generous enough for two people, so it never felt cramped. The location is superb; it's in a quiet area, yet just a short walk to bustling areas. Convenience stores and restaurants are abundant nearby. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and provided impeccable service. Outstanding value for money.

After landing in Osaka, I took the Hello Kitty train directly to Kyoto Station. From there, I transferred to the Karasuma Line for two stops and exited from exit 4 (which has an elevator 🛗). Upon exiting, there's a 7-Eleven on the left, and the hotel is just a 2-minute walk further, up a long hallway to the second floor. The service in Kyoto is always excellent. I was able to find a good price before the May Day holiday. I've stayed at Mitsui before, but the location here is even better, with bus stops closer. Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama, and Kinkaku-ji are all just one stop away. The breakfast is traditional Kyoto style, light and delicious, and the elderly ladies serving were very polite. The front desk also provides a wide variety of toiletries.

When booking a hotel in Japan, being close to a transportation hub is definitely the top priority. Hotel Alla is just a 5-6 minute walk from JR Kyoto Station, where all the train lines and bus stops to various attractions are concentrated. The hotel service is very thoughtful; early arrivals can store their luggage at the hotel, and upon returning from sightseeing, not only is the room ready, but the luggage has also been placed inside. The room facilities are cozy, small but complete, and toiletries can be picked up in the lobby. Breakfast is quite similar to Chinese food, with congee available. I highly recommend this hotel for trips to Kyoto.

Spacious room by Japanese standards, great location, nice breakfast (though the coffee from the machine is very bad). Quite poor room cleaning service. They call it “eco-cleaning”, proper cleaning is done only once every three days. The only daily service is towel replacement. Nobody made our bed for three days (without changing the sheets). When I asked the guy at reception how this relates to eco-standards, he couldn’t explain it. Also, nobody washed our coffee cup for three days — they said it’s not covered by their “eco-cleaning standard”.

Stayed for 4 nights in winter. Didn't try the onsen, but the hotel offers excellent value for money. Its location in Umekoji is just one stop from Kyoto Station and provides direct access to attractions like Arashiyama. The facilities and decor are very new and clean, with a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom, and timely housekeeping. The 37 sq m triple room was surprisingly spacious. The breakfast was delicious, and my family especially loved the grilled saury. The service was friendly, and we even received dining vouchers. There are multiple restaurants downstairs to choose from. Highly recommended!

We had a good experience in this hotel. The rooms are very clean, the bathroom is nice, the space is small but comfortable. You can store your luggage under the beds, which works great to have more space. The staff is also friendly, and the location is pretty good. The smoking area is really small and cold. But all in all we had a great time in here.
