Node hotel might be my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at in my whole life and was easily my favorite hotel in Japan. The entire hotel was impeccably clean. The decor of the hotel is very cool and modern and the room was a good size-similar to the size of a western hotel and the largest room we stayed in, in Japan (we stayed in the standard double room). The location was good-a two minute walk to at least two bus stops, about 10 minutes from a train station, about a 10 minute walk to the fish market, and about 25 minute walk to Gion. You can also catch the bus from the hotel to go to Gion quicker for 250 JP yen. The neighborhood is also very safe and quiet. The hotel serves food and has a bar, which I also recommend checking out! The area that really made this hotel stand out was the concierge staff. Ozaki helped us make reservations to an unforgettable restaurant for my husbands’ birthday just by telling him the cuisine we were interested in and he helped us find same day medical care with appreciated discretion. The concierge staff all spoke fluent English which aided in ensuring they provided the best service for our restaurant and medical request plus all other questions regarding transportation, recommendations on where to eat, activities in the area, and for calling a taxi for us. I truly cannot recommend staying at Node hotel enough! Staying at this hotel made our trip to Kyoto our favorite place to visit on our Japan trip and I hope to stay there again one day.
