Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"Apart from our bedroom being only a tad on the small side our stay at The NOHGA was simply amazing. Great small boutique vibe, airy and bright reception with friendly and helpful staff. Our bed and pillows were so comfortable and the overhead shower was superb. Breakfasts were plentiful with gorgeous fresh fruits and salads, array of pastries and freshly cooked to order breakfasts. We ate once at the restaurant. Food was so delicious that we could have eaten more. Thank you for a great stay. "
