Noku Kyoto

It is in a very convenient location for visiting the excellent Japanese restaurants and kappo dining in Gosho-minami, so I stay here often. The Room is kept clean and well prepared, the amenities are well stocked, and it also comes with Maeda Coffee, Marukyu Koyamaen Japanese tea bags, and sweets—perfect for a relaxing break.This is my favorite Hotel in Kyoto. On my last visit, even though it was not yet check-in time, they kindly let me check in early because my Room was ready, which I truly appreciated.

I’m a 59-year-old man. My wife and I stayed for two nights from 8/20 to 8/22. I’ve posted before, but it had been a while since we last stayed at this Hotel—maybe about two years. It’s very popular, so if you don’t make a Reservation early, it may get booked up by inbound travelers.We visit Kyoto about four times a year, and there are clear reasons we choose this Hotel: direct access from Exit 4 of the Karasuma Subway Line; its location beside the Imperial Palace (it feels energizing); the area’s historical significance; how quiet it is despite being only a short distance from Shijo-Karasuma; the high quality of nearby restaurants; and, above all, the consistently excellent service standards.When traveling to Kyoto, I can’t ask for a better place to stay. I was also curious about the basement restaurant that wasn’t open before, but with so many great dining options nearby, we didn’t use it this time.The front desk staff are friendly, and everything from bed-making to cleaning is outstanding. I honestly can’t see what there is to complain about. We’d definitely like to stay again next time.
