RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel. Staff very friendly."

Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto

10/10 Excellent

"The Nohga line is superior (even to most of the common American hotel names). The vibes are relaxing, modern, but Japanese touches. The hotel is very pretty -- has a beautiful rooftop bar area and an EXCELLENT bakery in the lobby (with vegan options)!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The concierge will help recommend places if you want to get a foot massage, or head treatment or anything and make the appointments for you. You can also rent eBikes from them if you reserve ahead of time. Loved staying here and if you get the opportunity to stay in this brand of hotels -- you should! "
