A hidden gem with a cool vibe and esthetic, made it comfortable for every guest. The breakfast was a daily treat for the eyes and palate, and the gracious staff made it a most pleasant way to start the day. The Nogha was fresh and modern while retaining and embracing the graces of times past, giving it a truly unique balance of old and new that was quite comforting.

Overall, I had a pleasant stay. The service was good
However, I don’t think this hotel offers the best value in the area. It seems to be recommended frequently by booking sites, but there are several hotels nearby that are newer, more convenient, and less expensive.
Also, be aware that there are additional taxes/fees payable upon arrival that may not be included in the initial booking price. If you want breakfast, be sure to add it when making your reservation—it is much more expensive if purchased at the hotel.
Overall, it’s a good hotel, but I think there are better options nearby for the price.

Stop reading reviews and book this hotel! Best atmosphere, most friendly, caretaking, polite, and simply nice staff! Food is incredible. The music, the smell, the facilities are all curated to “feel great”. They do not ask for reviews online, they ask you to reflect about your feelings and write it down on a piece of paper so that they add it to their travel log. It is just an incredible place to live and fell Kyoto.

PS: No, I am not getting paid for this review. It is simply that good!

I had a great stay at this hotel in Kyoto. The property is beautiful, the rooms are spotless, and the entire hotel is exceptionally clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly, and the overall experience was very enjoyable.

My only suggestion is regarding the restaurant. The entrée portions were surprisingly small for the price, and the flavors didn’t quite meet the standard I expected. I think the chef could improve both the portion sizes and the seasoning to make the dining experience match the high quality of the hotel.

Other than that, I was very happy with my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Kyoto.

We stayed in several hotels throughout our two week Japan trip, and this hotel (and Kyoto in general) was by far our favorite. It is spotlessly clean and classy. The lofi-jazz playing in the hotel as well as the rooftop lounge was a nice touch. The breakfast every morning was wonderful, and the staff were friendly and helpful. This hotel is walking distance to most of the Gion sites such as Yasaka Pagoda, Kiyomizu-dera Temple and a short taxi or subway ride from Yasaka Temple, Nishiki Market, Fushimi Inari (amazing) and so many other things to do. I would stay again at this hotel in a heartbeat! We’ll be back the next time we’re in Kyoto.

The property is very unassuming from the exterior but it’s a lovely hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They offer to call taxis for you and will graciously assist with any other questions that you may have. The Cicon Bakery in the lobby is superb and is a welcome relief from the convenience store food that we were consuming at our last hotel. Everything is freshly baked and they had breakfast sandwiches, doughnuts, fresh fruit, drinks and more. The roof top bar is a great place to hang out at the end of the day with a beautiful view and fire pits. The water pressure in the shower is phenomenal and taking a shower was a highlight of each morning. The beds were very comfortable. The location was nice because it was close to many temples and shrines as well as pottery retailers and kimono rental stores. Now here are the negatives. There are not enough places to hang towels!!! That’s a pet peeve and I don’t understand how you can expect three people to hang towels on two tiny hooks. Please get install more places to hang towels! You certainly have enough wall space to do it. There is a shuttle to Kyoto Station but it only departs 4 times per day and they won’t take your luggage unless it’s super small. We never used it since it wasn’t available when we needed it. Kyoto Station is not close enough to walk to unless you want to get all sweaty. Other than those two things, it’s a great place to stay!! Would stay again!

The hotel is deceptively larger than expected when you look at it from outside.
Once you are inside it opens up and they have their own bakery; which was great for quick breakfast, midday or afternoon snacks and for grabbing fresh coffee, hot or cold.
The staff were very friendly and spoke reasonable English, certainly proficient enough to deal with most questions which was very helpful.
The hotel was very clean and modern looking inside and the room layout was good. It’s close to a busy road, but very quiet inside.
Personally I wish I had booked a larger 2bed room as it felt small to me once we unloaded our bags, however, the room had good facilities and felt new.
The hotel is near a bus route so you can get from Kyoto train station or into other parts using buses, however, if the place is within 20mins walk, then walk it as will be easier. We used taxis more than expected but was easy to get to other parts of the city from the hotel given its location.
I would recommend the hotel for couples or families and would happily rebook there upon another trip to Kyoto

First time staying at this hotel when visiting Kyoto and I can say it's ruined me for other hotels in the area. It's in a great location, not to far from Kyoto Station. Breakfast and dining options are amazing, the cafe is great for pastries and quick bites throughout the day, the rooms are amazing especially the large King Size beds. There's even a gym and laundry on site which doesn't require cash. The surrounding neighborhood is great when plenty of restaurants, peaceful outdoor options, and a bit of old Kyoto flair with temples and shrines nearby. Will book again and again when in Kyoto.
