NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

The hotel is well appointed with so many beautiful features. I will highly recommend the property. It's 5mins walk from the Keihan Main Line, and easy to get around.

Design of the hotel and rooms are very modern and tasteful. Bed and pillows were really comfortable. Staff is polite and helpful Rooftop bar ambiance was so nice,food and cocktails were all very tasty. Attention to detail was obvious from quality of products on the room to the little helpful booklets about instersting places in Kyoto.

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 :-)

The property is located near the old part of Kyoto so it’s easy walking access to most of the city aside from the castle and Mount Inari. The rooms were cleaned daily and the rooms were spacious but we did upgrade on the day as there was space and a deal the day we checked in so we went from a superior twin to a superior double twin which was a bigger bed and bigger room. The staff was great and very helpful with directions and check in and out along with organising taxis to and from various tourists sites and to and from the Shinkansen train station.

Nohga Hotel Kyoto is a modern boutique hotel that made our stay in the city truly special. Popular with Western tourists, it offers excellent facilities, including a well-equipped gym and convenient guest laundry, making it very comfortable for longer stays. The hotel’s restaurant was a highlight — the food was superb, though reservations are essential due to its popularity. One of our favorite features was the beautiful rooftop, complete with multiple fire pits and cozy lounges, where we could relax under warm blankets and enjoy cocktails in the evenings. The hotel’s location is fantastic, within walking distance of Kyoto’s famous shrines and the Imperial Palace. There’s also a charming bakery on the ground floor offering excellent coffee and delicious pastries. Our room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and luxurious, providing a true haven after a day of sightseeing. Throughout our stay, the staff were unfailingly helpful and courteous. A wonderful experience overall — we would highly recommend it.
