OMO5 Kyoto Gion by Hoshino Resorts

first of all, I would like to stay here again next time. The facility is new, staff kind and warm. Easy access by taxi. Room clean. DIY bread is good

The room size is very large by Japanese standards, an apartment rather than a hotel room. We loved the Japanese style bedding - with an active 1yr old the floor beds took a lot of stress out of our stay. Everything was exceptionally clean, the location in the heart of old Gion was amazing, a part of Kyoto we hadn't explored before.

Excellent location in Gion. Staff were helpful and were willing to provide us some recommendations for food etc. Managed to comfortably fit two of us and a suitcase each plus extra baggage. Although it's paid laundry facilities, very handy to be located at the hotel.

Location can’t be better! We loved passing through the red gates across the street to explore the all the gardens, temple complexes, and tea houses. We even tried some of the hiking paths up the mountain. You are also right on the best street in Gion, with fun shopping and food. We found other tourist areas, like the Nishiki market and the Ninen Zara path, to be an easy walk away. The staff was great and we liked trying all the recommendations for different treats in the area. The beds were comfy and we enjoyed the extra room and the large dining area to eat our snacks on. I will definitely stay again!

The location was the main reason for booking this hotel and it didn’t disappoint. We finished at the end of the day from visiting Kiyomizu dera and could just walk to our room and woke up early to explore Sannezaka and ninenzaka before the crowds. The kitchen needed some butter knives but was well equipped for breakfast other than that. As with all our Japan trip accommodation cleanliness, service and room/bathroom were excellent
