Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent
"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."

"I loved my stay here!! The hotel is gorgeous, the pictures dont do it justice. I loved the fact that it is literally a 5 minute walk from the Kyoto Train Station, which is great of you have luggage. All of the amenities in the hotel from the vending machine, washing machines, and dryer. It was a great stay, I would totally recommend it for others and I will hopefully return soon."

"There was a big bed and the room was nice sized for a solo traveler. It was a little annoying that I couldn't check in before the proper check-in time, but I respect the rules. They took my bags and I explored the town and came back later to check in. The breakfast was pretty good. Some of the questions the staff couldn't answer for me, but they did guide me to the proper location."
