Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto
10/10 Excellent
"The shower was soooo nice and the bed was super comfortable. The hotel was very spacious as well. Everything felt extremely clean and peaceful. Would HIGHLY recommend this hotel. Also loved the quaint little gym. Had the basics which is great on vacation. "
"Breakfast was amazing and the tranquility is breath taking. Will definitely book again. Great value for money. Only thing is rooms need updating but still absolutely old world feel which is good. Very clean!"
"We loved staying at The Blossom Hotel! It truly felt like our home away from home, and we were sad to leave after our 6 day stay. It is one of the most beautifully appointed hotels, in which we’ve been lucky enough to stay. The location of the hotel was really convenient for all the major tourist sights, transportation and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful. The amenities provided were amazing, including the onsen, drinks, breakfast, lunch and gym. The lobby and rooms were very inviting, clean and comfortable. We had a brilliant time and would stay at The Blossom Hotel again, in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!! "
"Probably the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at in Japan. The room we got was bigger than the ones we got at Shinjuku and Osaka. Bathroom is massive as well and gave us enough room space for two people with two luggage’s. The place has a public bath available and we were informed that guests with tattoos were allowed to use it which was fantastic. Family mart is right downstairs and is able to be accessed by the hotel side so you don’t have to walk out. New amenities and room was cleaned every day. Also, very close to the station. The aquarium as well is nearby which can be a fun day activity for people. Personally, it did feel kind of far from everything in Kyoto but if guests are too tired to go anywhere else after exploring Kyoto, the Family Mart has many options available for food. Very satisfied with our stay and will book with this chain again in the future. "
"This was my favorite stay in Japan. We stayed on the 12th floor with the most picturesque view of Tokyo tower. The amenities were perfect and the location was perfect as it is located in the Kyoto station. Highly recommend. The staff was also amazing. "
