Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

A classy, cultivated stay. Nohga is eco friendly, beautifully decorated, and provides all necessary amenities. My partner and I booked Nohga for our Kyoto visit and found it to be mid range for cost with a very high end experience. There are a full restaurant, cafe, indoor and rooftop bar, fitness center, laundry area within the hotel. The room was beautiful; spacious, with a rainfall shower head/steam shower, purified water spout for drinking, robes and slippers. We enjoyed the cafe for breakfast multiple days (more cost friendly than the buffet) and the indoor bar for a cocktail, dinner, and dessert. My only complaint is the location was not ideal for being in the middle of a sightseeing area. The subway station was about an 8 min walk from the hotel, which during rainy weather and after a long day of walking, felt too far. However, I do think the experience of the hotel made it worth it.

An excellent stay in Kyoto. We stayed in the executive King Room which had a view of Yasaka shrine…Big room with lovely bathroom, and huge comfortable bed. Comfortable walk to Yasaka shire and pagoda, a bus stop on the corner will take you everywhere else, a quieter spot just far enough away from the busy areas to feel like a retreat from the chaos. Beautiful food on site at the Rooftop, bakery and restaurant. Rooftop was our favourite and visits daily before or after dinner with a great selection of cocktails. The food is great too Wagyu steak frites and cheeseburger were our picks or the Kyoto malt whisky for a nightcap. Service was excellent and the staff all speak perfect English and are very welcoming to overseas visitors. Daily room cleaning was very good, the rooms feel brand new! Thank you Nohga team for a lovely stay.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Nohga hotel in Kyoto! We were impressed with the cleanliness and the thoughtfulness they had with designing the space. Lots of amenities available and we appreciated being able to loan a hair straightener also. Such a relaxing place to come back to after sightseeing all day! The cafe in the lobby was amazing also and had great gluten free baking. Loved it! Would highly recommend!

My experience at this hotel was phenomenal. The rooms are beautiful, the service superb and the location is great as well. It is very close or accessible to everywhere including the city center, Kiyomizu-dera, Nishiri market, Ninenzaka, and Sannenzaka streets. It is also within walking distance to Gion, and Pontocho alley. Two blocks from there I would like to recommend the Sakura Bar, an izakasa run by a delightful family that makes delicious flavorful and economical Japanese dishes. I hope to come back soon!!!!!!!!!! I would also like to point out the hotel has an outstanding bakery - recommend the matcha scones which are to die for! Thank you to all the staff.

This hotel is phenomenal. So clean, so stylish, so luxurious for how affordable it is. They have everything you could possibly think of in the rooms. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The beds are comfy and the shower is BIG (for Japan lol). I am shocked by how good this hotel turned out to be as we didn’t have any expectations coming here. Would come back any day, 10/10 experience!

Highly recommend this hotel. It’s beautifully designed and perfectly located within walking distance of the Gion district and Kiyomizu-Dera Temple. The on-site bakery and breakfast restaurant are great ways to start the morning, and the rooftop bar is the perfect place to end the night with delicious drinks and views facing Kiyomizu-Dera. One thing to note is the laundry dryers. It took almost an hour and half to fully dry a load. I think this is an area that could be improved for added convenience. Overall, the hotel offers a wonderful ambiance and an experience we truly enjoyed. Thank you to all the staff members that made this experience possible.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel in Kyoto, great staff and so knowledgeable. The rooms were clean and so comfortable. It seemed very quiet, which we loved. The lobby had a great bakery which we really enjoyed, the on-site restaurant was great. Location right close to the temples on the hill, we could walk over. We took a taxi from the train station, which was perfect. We also took the bus a couple of times, and it was so easy to use. We had a lovely stay at this hotel.

This was my first trip to Kyoto, and after a lot of research, I chose Nohga Hotel, and I was very satisfied with my stay. The bed was extremely spacious, somewhere between a double and a king size, which I really liked, but the pillows were disappointing as they were too soft and sank easily, which was a bit unfortunate. The water pressure in the shower was excellent, and having a water purifier next to the sink was incredibly convenient. I didn’t realize it was there at first and bought bottled water, but even so, it was a great feature. The breakfast was excellent, and every staff member was genuinely kind and welcoming. In particular, the dining staff were even more friendly than the front desk, which made starting each day feel especially pleasant. I also absolutely loved the Osaji shampoo provided in the room. It seems to be a local brand that is not easy to find elsewhere. I liked it so much that I bought several bottles at the hotel, and I am extremely happy with the purchase. I would love to give this hotel 5 stars, but the location was just slightly inconvenient. It was a bit far from the main busy areas, so it wasn’t easy to stop by the hotel to rest and then head back out during the day. That said, it is still a hotel I would definitely recommend and would happily stay at again in the future.
