NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

Amazing breakfast, lovely spacious rooms, helpful staff. Overall really wonderful hotel, would definitely choose to stay here again when I hopefully get a chance to return to Kyoto.

We loved everything about our stay. The beds were fantastic and oh my gosh, the food. We stayed all over the world and the breakfasts, lunch and dinner is fantastic. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The bakery in the lobby added such a nice vibe to the hotel - and can we just say - the rooftop bar was the spot!!!! The music that was playing throughout the hotel at all the various spots is amazing - and I know you clearly put a lot of time into the detail - all the way to the music and the aroma in the hotel, I wanted to bottle it and bring it home (and the breakfast fruit with the best Egg Benedict I had in my life 😉).

The whole vibe of the hotel was very relaxed and modern. From the moment you walked into the hotel you were warmly greeted by the hotel staff with a smile and hello! The same experience with the restaurant staff...everyone made you feel welcome and appreciated you. The decor, smells and music made it feel very high end. We had the breakfast included in our price and that was exceptional value for money. Very handy for public transport too. Would stay here again if I'm lucky enough to visit Kyoto and would definitely recommend.

We stayed 6 nights and I cannot think of a better place to stay in Kyoto. It is NOT in the city center, so it is quiet and it IS 10min walk from Kiyomizu-dera temple complex. Actually, you can do all Higashiyama attractions by walking from the hotel. We did not use public transportation in Kyoto. Walking to the city center takes 15min from the hotel. Hotel itself is great! It offers big, clean and comfortable rooms and it also has a very pleasant lobby with bakery, so you can buy fresh bread, pastry etc. every morning. The restaurant serves great breakfasts in the morning and local IPA in the evening :-)

Nohga Kiyomizu is a very sleek hotel close to many of the historic attractions in Kyoto: Kiyomizu Dera, Sanjugangendo, Gion, and a bunch of the other temples and shrines in the hills on the east side of the city. It's also a short walk from the Keihan line which means there is easy access up and down the eastern side of Kyoto to main hubs such as Sanjo, Shijo, and also to nearby Osaka. There is a very cute bakery/cafe in the lobby, there is a fabulous rooftop with a bar and restaurant, the breakfast is incredible, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They also speak English and can help with shuttles to Kyoto station, making reservations at nearby restaurants, etc.
