Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"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."
