Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent
"The breakfast and the entire dining area was great. The hotel is very modern and clean. The best hotel I stayed in over a 2 week vacation in Japan. Only downside is that it's not close to Kyoto train station (35 min walk or 10 min drive) or the mall."
