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

MIMARU Kyoto Kawaramachi Gojo
Very spacious compared to Tokyo hotels. Extra space to lay out luggage and walk around was good for family of 4. Caters to Asian and Western visitors. Did not have signs or mat that told visitors to remove shoes, so not sure if all guests removed shoes while in room.
