Loisir Hotel Kyoto Toji

Amazing location! This hotel is a TRUE GEM if you are visiting Kyoto. (Away from the touristy crowds) 3mins walk to Aeon Mall 7mins walk to Kyoto station 3 mins walk to Toji temple 1 Min walk to a Halal Indian Nepal restaurant (serving delicious tandoori/keema/naan/chai latte) Staffs at reception: Uemeya /Yamasaki/Kato and the female Hotel Manager on duty (which I've forgot to asked her name) were all very attentive, helpful, polite . Ms Kato, was very patient whilst processing my check-in, she answered my inquiries with clear information and later that night when my spouse and i asked how do i take city bus 207 & 202 to Gion Higashiyama Ward , she guided me correctly explaining which side of the road to catch the bus with the printed paper map guidance from the hotel desk. (Her service orientated mind & calm manner really warms my heart, she does her job with full sincerity) For great matcha 🍵 latte powder selection, can go to Kyoto station, there's Uji matcha u can buy from Gion Tsujiri cafè. (This was recommended to me by Ms Kato, no doubt the result doesn't disappoints, I bought home a 40gm matcha powder!) On the day of checkout i paid 2hrs extra at reception desk to extend my stay till 13:00 hrs . I wish my spouse & i could have more nights in Kyoto so we could stay longer in Loisir Hotel unfortunately we had to fly home due to work . However certainly, one night was enough to convince us this is the hotel we choose again for our return trip in Kyoto, lovely neighbourhood and wonderful staffs . Thank you so much Loisir Hotel team for making our stay a memorable one . The sight of sunrise through our bedroom window is simply stunning too.

Place is nice and new, there is also a huge mall beside it!

About a 10-minute walk from Kyoto station. Fairly new (opened in 2023). Strands of long hair in the bath as well as wash basin top. Room was fairly good-sized, but considering the price (more than double that of similar hotels in Osaka). Toiletries were mediocre (no facial cleanser, toner, etc. which other similar hotels provide), only oil cleanser, cotton buds, green tea and towel (for the public bath).
