"The hotel was in a peaceful location of Kyoto very close to the Philosophers path and surrounding temples. The roof terrace and complimentary happy hour drinks was a wonderful edition at the end of long day of sight seeing to soak up the views and relax. The breakfast was excellent - a perfect balance of fresh vegetables, baked bread and fruit and yogurt. And the staff were so helpful with local restaurant recommendations. Would definately recommend"

Top Kyoto University Museum Hotel Reviews

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"Built in apps for streaming, visa capable laundry, multipurpose bath/shower (rain head), cafe was excellent with an onsite bakery. English speaking staff which was unusual during our trip. View was meh, but being at the back of the hotel helped as the hotel is on a main road. Breakfast and dinner were also very tasting and filling. Italian cuisine and open kitchen. Reasonable prices. A great boutique hotel away from the centre."
