Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The Nohga line is superior (even to most of the common American hotel names). The vibes are relaxing, modern, but Japanese touches. The hotel is very pretty -- has a beautiful rooftop bar area and an EXCELLENT bakery in the lobby (with vegan options)!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The concierge will help recommend places if you want to get a foot massage, or head treatment or anything and make the appointments for you. You can also rent eBikes from them if you reserve ahead of time. Loved staying here and if you get the opportunity to stay in this brand of hotels -- you should! "

THE BLOSSOM KYOTO

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel! The room was lovely, the hotel staff were very helpful, and there were many amenities (snack bar, drinks machine, many laundry machines available). The train station was just a few minutes away and about 15-20 minute walk to Kyoto Station. The area was calm and quiet at night. Also just a few minutes walk away from a convenience store. Would recommend to a friend and would definitely stay here again."

Hotel Vischio Kyoto by GRANVIA

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was excellent in terms of value. Across the street from Kyoto station, clean and helpful staff who were able to navigate conversations in English. :) I also liked that we could securely store our luggage before/after we checked out, and there was a large space to work and have coffee/water with lots of light. The buffet breakfast was hands down the best I have ever had a hotel. So many different options to choose from, warm foods were served at the perfect temperature and despite a high volume of visitors it was still well organized and clean. Highly recommend this hotel and would certainly go back if I ever have the option!"
