This hotel is amazing and one of the best I have ever stayed in. The room was very spacious, modern yet traditional, comfortable, clean and the bathroom was superb - a large walk in shower and Japanese bath which was excellent with all the walking I had been doing. There is also a washer/dryer in room which is easy to use (instructions included) and was very convenient for the middle of my trip. The hotel has a beautiful reception and japanese garden area in the middle of the hotel. 100% recommended for a Kyoto stay! Also remember MURAJI is close by and is an incredible ramen restaurant, it’s busy but I went a couple of times and wasn’t waiting too long. Train station is also close too.

We would definitely stay at nol again in our future trips to Kyoto. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. We loved the idea of nightly free snacks and sake tasting stations. The room was well designed and we enjoyed the wooden bath very much. Everything at the property had so much thought put into it.

The hotel was beautiful with natural touches like a tree in the middle of the hotel which is open to the sky. One day it was raining and it was absolutely gorgeous. Our room was spacious with a double beds, a couch, a table, kitchenette, washer/drier combo, tv, automatic curtains, rainfall shower and a hinoki tub. Upon check in the hotel provides you with a map of things to do in the area which was very helpful. The tub was definitely my favorite part or the room, it was relaxing and smelt of the wood. The hotel staff was very helpful in sending out bags to our next destination. In the lobby they also have free coffee in the mornings & free self serve sake tasting in the evening with snacks. The hotel is also very central and you can easily walk to restaurants, shops, and even the historic neighborhoods in Kyoto. Overall we loved staying at Nol Kyoto Sanji and can't wait to visit again.

Love this property. We had difficulty understanding how to use washer and dryer as well as air cleaner. It would be have been nice if someone walked us up to our rooms and showed us how to use these appliances when we arrived. The property is very serene but it is too dark, which made it difficult to safely see where I was walking.maybe better for younger clients.

Lovely large rooms, beautifully made up. Very clean and elegant. Super relaxing, the Japanese garden is gorgeous. Staff were very attentive and courteous. I would have given 5 stars, but although there was a kettle in the room, there were no tea or coffee making facilities. You had to go to the lounge on the first floor.

Stayed in this beautiful hotel for 2 nights (Though I wish we couldve stayed a lot longer!). Walkable from the station and walkable to Nishiki Market and all the other shopping centers connected to Nishiki Market! The room I booked had its own wooden bathtub (that could fit two), and equipped with its own combined washer/dryer (which was a life safer as this was a halfway point between our trip). The day we were gonna depart, the hotel let us store our luggage until it was time to go. This was the loveliest hotel I've ever stayed at and I would 10/10 come back to stay once more!

Pretty clean and modern property. Location is okay but not great for the typical tourist destinations. We ended up using taxis several times. Reasonable walk to Nishiki Market, close to a Family Mart and about 10 minutes to the train station. Room is very nice with one exception- the bed is really hard. I wouldn’t describe it as firm. It was hard. We asked for mattress toppers but they didn’t have any. Since we couldn’t sleep well, it took a lot away from our stay. Washer/dryer was the reason we booked this room and that part was great. Staff speaks limited English, which is understandable, but their willingness to be helpful varied. Drip coffee in the lobby is low quality.

Hotel Nol was absolutely fantastic!!! We had an amazing time from check in to check out. The staff went above and beyond for me and even helped me ship 3 luggage’s to my next destination in Osaka. The rooms are so elegant. Minimalistic and modern but with old Japanese touch. Our family loved this place so much. My son wanted to purchase the grey Nol leisure wear set. (I was told not for sale. Lol) The hotel has a very nice vibe. Dark and mysterious, calming and comfortable. My husband and I enjoyed unwinding and recapping the day while sipping on sake in the lobby after a long day out sight seeing in Kyoto. We will be back one day and I will continue to refer more people here. It’s the BEST!!!!

They went through every detailed amenity offered and gave us a welcome gift, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. Our room was spacious and relaxing, especially after a long day of walking in crowds. We found ourselves often coming back throughout the day to take breaks and refresh. The location was perfect! Walking distance to major shopping districts, but far away enough to get some peace and quiet. Our room was cleaned daily, and toiletries restocked as well. We loved the shower and having an in-unit washer/dryer was so helpful! Overall, we loved our stay and wish we could of stayed longer, we'll definitely be back next time we visit Kyoto!
