Awarded two pavilions by the Michelin Guide 2020, Hotel Alza Kyoto is situated near the Kamo River and within Gion District, a 2-minute walk from Sanjo Station. Some rooms feature the views of Kamo River and the kawadoko, an outdoor deck over the river for guests to enjoy seasonal views. Free luggage storage is available at the 24-hour front desk. Small luxury hotel for decent price (if making booking far in advance). Our stay was very comfortable, we found almost the best amenities (out of all hotels we stayed in Japan). Breakfast (by selection Japanese or International bento box) is delivered to the room. Very good location - quiet place in older Kyoto side, lots of activities and restaurants are on walking distance. We liked hotel very much and would come.
