Senkoji Temple

The hotel has a very dark decor in the stateroom that I can hardly see. There is no night table to put my cell phone, charger and necessity. The laundry doesn’t accept coins and the machine doesn’t have washer dryer combination. I have to pay one fee for washing and another fee for drying. Yes, I have to go to the Laundry 2 times to wash and dry. For the room amenities, there is no coffee or tea which I find is very common to have both in a Japanese hotel. I was staying in a hotel in Osaka and another hotel in Kyoto, both hotels provided drip coffee (or coffee capsules machine) with cream powder and sugar. I have to ask Front desk for one tea bag @ Nogha hotel. I also tried to buy baking goods at the hotel bakery. As the bread was really cold, I have asked whether the bakery staff can reheat the bread but got a decline in a rude manner. I originally booked 2 nights at this hotel but had checked out after one night. The hotel staff didn’t even ask me why I checked out early. I will not come back to this hotel unfortunately!

Our first room was awful and depressing with nowhere to put our clothes and luggage. But they moved us to a new room(for a fee which was justified) and it was wonderful. We even had two bathrooms! The area is so fun too! Would go back again.

The stand out about this hotel is the people. Everything with the property is excellent. But a hotel is about people. The people that care for you here are so lovely and warm that they feel more like family. You really look forward to seeing them every day and engaging them on the traditions and culture of Japan.
