10/10 Excellent

"Very relaxing hotel and amenities"

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. They were always ready to assist us from check-in til check-out. They even helped me fix my reservations with my next hotel in Japan. I really appreciate them. The rooms were also clean, stylish, and quite spacious. I particularly appreciated the availability of a water dispenser in the room. Having access to clean drinking water was such a great bonus! They also have a lovely rooftop bar. It has cozy vibes at night and they serve really good cocktails."

"Amazing atmosphere, we loved our room!"

The Royal Park Hotel Kyoto Sanjo

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I’ve stayed at The Royal Park Hotel, first time was about 10 years ago. The location was so convenient to the indoor market, 7 Eleven, Family mart and restaurants literally around the corner, Subway was a short walk away. Staff on reception were friendly and helpful. I had forgotten my wallet in the safe when I checked out and the hotel kindly emailed me to inform me, which I’m utterly grateful for their kindness and looking after my wallet 😊 I would highly recommend and definitely return if I ever visit Kyoto again."
