We were 3 friends traveling and the room was huge we each had our own bed and lots of room for all our bags. We had come from Tokyo where there was not even room to turn around. The staff was helpful and a castle with beautiful gardens was across the street. I would highly recommend Noku Kyoto

I would recommend this hotel. No complaints about it at all. The location was not my personal favorite in Kyoto, but it is super close to Nijo Castle and the Imperial Palace which is nice. The station is also just steps away and will get you wherever you need quickly.

Friendly staff, very close to subway, close to attractions and restaurants, but still a very quiet area. Also, very clean hotel overall. My only suggestion for improvement would be more clothing storage, I could have used some drawers or more hangers etc.
