"Spacious clean rooms. Great location near Gion and the canal. Restaurants everywhere. Quiet. Great bath tub with nice complimentary bath salts. Shampoo/Conditioner/Body was spa quality. Wish this was my hotel for all my stops in Japan. Really liked this hotel and will stay again if in Kyoto."

"We really enjoyed our stay here. Would absolutely stay here again! Convenient location, very good amenities, helpful staff. The rooms were comfortable but small, there could be a more convenient place for luggage storage but it was fine. I will think about the vegan baked goods every day until I can come back again."

"This was a beautiful hotel. Lovely staff, nice entrance, room was stunning and the bed was huge! Was like a retreat at the end of the day. The breakfast options were great and a nice area to eat in. The hot foot bath in the courtyard was a winner for our tired feet at the end of the day. Would definitely stay here again."

"This would be the second time we booked with Onyado Nono. We knew that if we ever go back to Kyoto, and availability permits, we would always book here. Love the amenity, the staff, and the overall experience they provide. We mostly book here cause of the onsen and the tatami inspired facility. Its a walking distance to Kyoto station as well."
