Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"This place is amazing. It truly made Kyoto that much better. Staff is extremely friendly, they will help with absolutely anything you need. We rented e-bikes every day while we were there which helped getting around town. If I ever come back to Kyoto, I will only be staying here."

Minn Gion

8/10 Good

"We stayed 4 nights. Location was great but since we stayed less than 6 nights they didn’t do room service which was sort of a let down. Having to wash your towels and stack bags of garbage was not the greatest but it’s a limited staffed counter with remote check in/check out access so just be prepared with that in mind. There was one staff at the counter in the mornings but we didn’t have much interaction with him. Oh, and be prepared for the loads of laundry to take several hours to complete. Overall a good place to stay."

Six Senses Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful oasis in the middle of Kyoto! Every single attention to detail was made. Rooms were gorgeous, food was amazing, staff was very helpful and friendly. Easily one of the finest hotels I have stayed in, period. Only room for improvement was that I wished they had more lunch options, it was merely the dinner menu (and dinner prices) for lunch."

Kyoto Granbell Hotel

6/10 Okay

"We had a lovely stay overall. The staff were fantastic throughout — incredibly helpful, welcoming and always happy to assist with anything we needed. The hotel itself is beautiful and in a great location, which made exploring very easy. The only downside for us was the room size. Although the room was beautifully designed and very comfortable, there was very little space, and as two travellers with large suitcases it became quite challenging during our stay. That said, this may simply be a cultural difference in expectations around luggage and space while travelling. For solo travellers, shorter stays, or those travelling lighter, it would be absolutely brilliant."
