OMO5 Kyoto Gion by Hoshino Resorts

Clean and convenient

Nothing

We absolutely loved this hotel! The room was huge, much bigger than we were expecting, and we loved the cool design and artworks. Unbeatable location directly across the road from Yasaka shrine. Despite the bustle outside it was quiet in our room at night. We loved the in-room vegetarian breakfast and the make your own bread was delicious and a lot of fun. We also loved the evening activities in the foyer, matcha and wagashi and traditional games. Great facilities, laundry was easy to use, and the lobby area with amenities was very convenient. Staff were very helpful and arranged luggage forwarding for us. Would definitely stay here again.

Great service; perfectly located; smart choice for smart people

The location was exceptional. The hotel is new and clean.

There was no window/ natural sunlight in our room which made our 4 night stay feel very claustrophobic. Our room type suggests it accommodates 6 people but I would not recommend booking it for more than 3. We booked and paid for a family of 5 but there were only three beds made up (futons). We had to make other beds ourselves on a space that doubles as a seat around a table. There was no water or coffee provided and whilst clean towels were provided daily and rubbish removed, there was no cleaning or bed making. I’m not sure what criteria this hotel passed to received a 4 star rating. I would have thought 3 at a maximum.
