Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs
The only thing I will say is it’s not ideal with guests with larger tattoos, the hotel will only provide 2 covers per guest, you can purchase more from the near by Don Quijote but a hassle. Otherwise it was a very comfortable stay

Hiyori Stay Kyoto Kamogawa
Friendly staff. Well laid out room with washing machine, kitchenette facilities, and a comfy bed. Tasty but somewhat limited breakfast (scrambled eggs, sausages, pancakes, 2 cereals, and coffee etc). Perfect for us but don't expect a massive buffet.
