OMO3 Kyoto Toji by Hoshino Resorts

Lovely surroundings, modern hotel and spacious rooms which is a big plus when staying at hotels in Japan for longer than a couple of nights. Nice and close to the Eon Mall for shopping and a stocked food court with all international cuisine catered for.

My most memorable experience at OMO was when my friend and I arrived amidst a sudden torrential downpour that turned the streets into a river. When we stepped into the hotel, the staff were so helpful, welcoming and concerned with our welfare, it felt like coming home and getting fussed over by your parents. They brought us slippers, bags for our shoes, and endless towels. The room and lobby were spotless and extremely well-designed, and we loved the sand garden and little snack station area in the lobby!

Loved the friendly staff and the little shop downstairs. It has a laundry with 3 washers and dryers so never had a problem with having to wait when doing laundry. It was a 12 minute walk to Kyoto Station but Toji station was only 3 minutes away for when we were extra tired. Having a mall 5 mins away was also very handy. Loved that there were 2 pillows and a cushion, quite unusual from our experience and very much appreciated.

I stayed at 5 hotels during my visit and this one had the most impressive and aesthetic decor and experience. The rooms were the largest of all the hotels (I do admit I am frugal so my choices are always the standard minimal rooms), and the reception area is beautiful. I never get the breakfast plans since I like to head out early in the morning, so I did not use the food areas much. There was a large and convenien Aeon mall down the street.

Fantastic hotel - great location, 10 minites walk from Kyoto Station and 5 minutes from a shopping mall with food court. Easy transport links. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. We loved the option to hire items for the room, and the self service food and drinks on the ground floor.
