A very satisfying stay. The location is great, the room is spacious and very clean. The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, and the donuts from the pastry shop in the lobby were delicious. Very satisfied.

We decided to book Nogha whilst we were in Kyoto so we could relax a little more than in previous locations. We opted for a bigger room to have some space and it didn't disappoint. The bed was huge, the room for two was a really good size. It was clean and well decorated.
The bakery downstairs was a great addition, we had breakfast there on our consecutive mornings. I would thoroughly recommend it if you're looking for a nice four star hotel and something a little quiet.
Staff were also lovely and our luggage had been taken to our room when we checked in.

Was really looking forward to staying in this hotel. Love the lobby vibes & aesthetic of the hotel. Was hoping to visit its rooftop bar at night but unfortunately it was raining and they close it during our stay.
Breakfast was excellent, get to choose one main each & semi buffet spread of breads, salad, fruits.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the lobby atmosphere and overall design of the hotel, as well as our breakfast selection. Our breakfast is designed to offer a satisfying start to the day with one main dish to choose from, along with a semi-buffet of freshly prepared breads, salad, and fruits. We’re sorry that the weather prevented you from visiting the rooftop bar during your stay. The rooftop is one of our special spaces, offering a relaxing view and a different perspective of Kyoto’s charming Higashiyama area, especially in the evening. Kyoto itself is a city where traditional streets, temples, and modern culture blend beautifully, and we hope you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy more of that atmosphere on your next visit. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again soon for another memorable stay. NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

Might be more suitable for first timers or travellers who are into Kiyomizu temple or Gion(both location walkable from hotel)
I'm a frequent traveller to Japan/Kyoto thus location does not work well for me but not a deal breaker.
Hotel is pretty big as I feel the distance walking from elevator to room, decent size rooms with windows that can be opened for maybe 3 inches(?) Enough pillows and quiet room for good rest and also nice public areas with lotsa greens. Rooms need to be more throughly cleaned though as I found coffee/tea stains on the table top(not acceptable for hotels of this grade)
The in room water dispenser is a great idea though.
There's a bakery within the hotel itself thats open from breakfast if you are into convenience, delish but there are simply too many good bakeries(or other breakfast places) in Kyoto.
Response from Property: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback about your stay with us at NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the decent-sized rooms with openable windows, ample pillows, quiet atmosphere for good rest, and the nice public areas filled with greenery. It’s also encouraging that the in-room water dispenser stood out as a great feature, and that our on-site bakery provided convenient and delicious options during your visit. We completely understand that our location, while ideal for first-time visitors exploring Kiyomizu-dera and Gion on foot, may not suit everyone—especially frequent travelers to Kyoto who prefer other areas. Your point about the walking distance from the elevator is well noted, as is the coffee/tea stain on the tabletop, which falls short of our high cleanliness standards. We sincerely apologize for this oversight and have shared your comments with our housekeeping team to ensure more thorough cleaning moving forward. Thank you again for your thoughtful review. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance on a future trip, perhaps when your itinerary aligns better with our eastern Kyoto base. Safe travels! NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

Whole building design is quite cool. Good to have a water server in a room. Nice to stay and good place to explore Kiyomizu area.
Response from Property: Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you liked the design of our building and found the in-room water server convenient. It’s wonderful that our location worked well for exploring the Kiyomizu area — with famous spots like Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Yasaka Pagoda, and the charming streets of Higashiyama just a short walk away, it’s a great area to experience the beauty and culture of Kyoto. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again on your next visit to the city! NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

Superb experience in Nohga. Everything here has been curated very carefully, you can tell the people or group behind this whole hotel concept really put in so much thought for their guests.
Absolutely loved my entire stay here. I eat breakfast at their bakery every morning. Love their customisable bagels, mortadella sandwich, salted bun and cinnamon mochi donut. Chocolate mochi donut was a little too sweet. Americano and matcha latte were great.
Thoroughly enjoyed their rooftop bar every night (opens till 12am). Awesome vibes, very romantic atmosphere. Staff are sweet, gives heat packs and blankets to keep us warm. Warm cocktails are a must during winters. You can order any random cocktails and they all taste so good.
The distance from the train station to this hotel is quite a distance but I think the overall experience you get in this hotel makes the walk a worthwhile one. Def recommending this hotel to my friends who wanna come to Kyoto.
Response from Property: Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing such an incredible and detailed review. We truly can’t thank you enough for your kind words. It means a great deal to us to know that you felt the care and thought that went into creating the NOHGA experience, and that you enjoyed every part of your stay—from our bakery and breakfast items to the rooftop bar atmosphere in the evenings. We’re especially happy to hear you loved the warm cocktails and the little touches from our team to keep you comfortable during winter. We’re also grateful for your understanding regarding the walk from the station, and we’re delighted to know the overall experience made it worthwhile. Thank you for recommending us to your friends—it truly means the world to our entire team. We sincerely hope to welcome you back to NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO again for another memorable stay.

Amazing hotel with great breakfast, close proximity to temple and onsite bakery. Stayed for 3 day and best part was close proximity to temple for early morning walks
Response from Property: Thank you for your review! We're so glad the early morning walks to Kiyomizu temple made such a lasting impression — it's one of the true privileges of our Higashiyama location, and there's something really special about experiencing the temple in the quiet of the morning before the crowds arrive. We're also pleased the breakfast and bakery helped fuel those days well. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in Kyoto! NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

We recently stayed at NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO and had a very pleasant experience. The rooms were very spacious, clean, and comfortable throughout our stay. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Most importantly, the hotel’s location is excellent: just a short walk to the scenic Higashiyama area and easily accessible from the station. A great base for exploring Kyoto.

Such a good vibe hotel. Staff can speak English very well so we didn't have any communication problem. The concierge was kind enough to help recommending a tofu restaurant and made a booking for our group. We used their parking lot which was quite expensive since the hotel didn't offer free parking. Room was spacious, well designed and comfortable. The meditation room was an interesting experience though there was a delay for my booking. Their rooftop bar was also very nice. The drinks and snack were delicious. Wish I could stay longer to experience the hotel's tea ceremony and many interesting activities.

My stay here was absolutely wonderful; I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout. The hotel's location is super convenient for getting around.
The entire hotel is spotless and well-maintained, with public areas that are tidy, quiet, and elegant. My room was immaculately clean, the bedding was soft and comfy, and the layout was practical. All the amenities were complete and fully functional, making for a cozy and secure stay.
The staff were incredibly warm, polite, and respectful. Check-in and check-out were handled very efficiently, making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free.

We had a very nice stay at Nohga Hotel. The location is a bit far from city center but the hotel is very nice and feels cozy. Attached is the view from our room.
Response from Property: Thank you for your positive feedback on your stay at NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO.
