Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"Delightful property. Room was a good size with an excellent shower. Beds were comfy and room was quiet. Bakery on the main floor made all sorts of delectable delights. We had fried egg sandwiches on fresh baguettes on the first and last mornings. Rooftop bar was also a nice place to spend time and have a couple of beverages and very delicious vegan tacos made with falafel croquettes. It's far enough away from the train station that I would recommend a taxi (about 1600 yen on a weeknight arrival, but return trip was about 2000 on a saturday morning - don't know why there was a difference, but not unreasonable either way). Otherwise, the location is good for exploring all the wonders of Kyoto. Great place to spend some time."

"We travel as a small group. The rooms were clean but a bit of moldy smell. However the dehumidifier was in the room so it was helpful. Great breakfast and coffee is available all day and night. The hotel was a bit far from main attractions. The staff was very nice and helpful and big plus laundry room in the building and across the street"
