LOISIR HOTEL CLASSIC GARDEN KYOTO SANJO

10/10 hotel, would stay again

This hotel was bigger than any of the other hotels we stayed at in Tokyo and was around the same price. It was modern, the public bath was great and the breakfast buffet was amazing! Very close to the train station and busses and staff was very helpful and spoke English very well. Overall great stay!

This place was affordable and had everything we needed for our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very helpful and kind throughout our visit. The laundry room could be improved (but not complaining, i'm glad it had one) — there are only three washers and three dryers, so it’s best to plan ahead and have coins ready, as washing and drying can take some time. The location was convenient, close to the station and right across from a convenience store. Overall, a good value for the price and a pleasant place to stay!

Great experience with the hotel, breakfast and staff

Nice location, good amenities but rooms a re ver small and washroom furnishings in the room was quite old.

The hotel was located in an excellent location. 7 min walk away the famous market and 2 min walk to a train station. Good sized room. The only feedback is probably needing more washing machine/dryers as there was a bit of a wait. Hotel is a bit older but clean and excellent value.

Sorry to say the property is dated and amenities are lacking. Normally this wouldn't be a problem since we mostly use the hotel for sleeping and showering/bathing, but both were unsatisfactory. Hard bed, lumpy pillows, thin & rough towels, tiny tub. Too bad. However, the location was excellent. The garden is very beautiful. The staff were nice. Would not stay here again and definitely would not recommend.

Rooms were a bit small but clean. Breakfast was fantastic and staff were very courteous and helpful

Excellent location first of all, for shopping and many places to eat nearby. A short walk to the subway and ride to Kyoto Station. Breakfast buffet was nice, with both Western and Japanese options. The rooms are a little dated but roomy enough. The onsen is more of a hot tub with jets, and is not overly large, also with a dated feel. So not as good an onsen experience as we last had in Takayama. But still a nice option to have. Overall, would recommend given its location and value for money.

Cute boutique like hotel. 15mins away from Nishiki market. 5 mins away from the metro. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Room was on the smaller side but a non-issue for us as we spent most of our days out exploring Kyoto.

Excellent breakfast. Great coffee shop next door. Lovely hotel with good facilities. Would recommend

Staff very helpful. There are 5 bikes available to use, first come basis. This is a great way to see Kyoto. Location also very good.

Plenty of local restaurants near the hotel, there's even a 7-11 right outside the hotel

Excellent location. Very zen. You feel in peace. Expensive breakfast but excellent choices.

They have free bike rental to explore kyoto area

Great location

Excellent location to everything, affordable, and very clean property. Free Internet was very fast for a hotel. We will definitely come back to this hotel again.

We really enjoyed our stay! The hotel was walking distance to the shopping centers

The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Great breakfast which was included in our stay. The room was a good size and very comfortable and loved the bath house. Highly recommend this location.

Great location

great on all fronts, also very spacious.

old

Staff was friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, good amenities, and the breakfast buffet was excellent, presented in a beautiful and calm dining space

I recently took a trip to Japan and during my stay decided to take the bullet train over to Kyoto. This just happened to be the hotel that I decided to stay in. My favorite part about this hotel were there enmities, as well as it being conveniently close by the imperial palace as well as train stations and places to eat. This place was overall exceptionally comfortable and I enjoyed my stay here.

LOVELIEST HOTEL! Across the street is 711. Easily a walkable location. Staff may njlot speak english very well but theyre very helpful. Theres a laundry machine 1st floor!!! Thry also give free umbrellas to use during the rain. Free amenity kits. HIGHLY REC.

Staff was very friendly and helpful

Love this place! Def will be back

Perfect location and service

I had a great experience staying in this hotel. The stuff members were very nice and helpful, located in the quiet but nice Sanjo / Shijo area of Kyoto that all the shops are walking distance, and hotel lobby is modern traditional Kyoto style. The room was normal business hotel size but the price was amazing considering the quality. It was exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely stay in this hotel again.

It was great, the room had a smell though

The hotel staff are very helpful and it is located near a main street and by a shopping market.

Good breakfast, all food was fresh. Having a sento is a plus.

Super

We had an amazing stay. Breakfast was really good would be nice to have different variaties of options on a daily not the same food everyday. But overall was great. Would definitely come back.

Excellent staff, service and facilities.

Excellent service from staff. I enjoyed my stay immensely.

Good

Loved it!

Great area! Great authentic restaurant right next door serving the best savory pancakes that you cook at your table. Great location, you can walk to Nishiki market which is well known for shopping and wonderful food

N

Although this hotel is not new, general is okay. This only disappointment is about the onsen. The photo shows the size is okay but it’s really small. 5 places for shower and onsen can aloe 4 people inside only.

Amazing stay here. Staff was kind and helpful, room clean and covered anything you may need. Close to everything. Highly recommend.

Nice Hotel, very good service and breakfast was ok.

The room was a little small, but the hotel itself was in a good location and was comfortable. I like the garden itself to have breakfast over and it's a nice spot in Kyoto. I just wish their breakfast buffet changes as it's the same thing every day, but overall, it was a nice spot. Washing machines work great as well.

Beautiful

部屋自体は広いしきれいでよかったけど、冷蔵庫が小さすぎるのと、大浴場が小さくてシャワー台も少なかったので、５人以上いるとシャワーと待たないといけないのが、嫌だった。

Great 5 day stay

Really great hotel close to everything. I definitely would stay there again!

Great location

Convenient location to the places I visited in Kyoto with reasonable price

The room is small but breakfast is excellent

Good stay

Really nice, clean

Really good breakfast options - try Japanese or play it safe as you prefer. Big room, comfy beds, relaxing onsen. Good value. What more could you want?

Very professional and friendly. Clean and comfortable. Excellent hotel.

Excellent, no frills hotel. Great staff, laundry facilities close to transportation and walking distance to many things to see. Comfortable beds. Great bakery around the corner. The staff was amazing. They were so helpful with suggestions and check in/out and luggage storage. Would stay here again!

Beautiful hotel and beautiful location. Amazing staff and large rooms. Went above and beyond with amenities.

the people were actually the nicest people ive met

Great size apartment. Well equipped. Washing machine was very useful. Staff are all super nice. Good location. Some drawbacks. The bed is pretty uncomfortable, pillows are hard and only parts of the building are air conditioned so the rooms don’t cool down that much. We had lots of banging and crashing around from one of the apartments above us that went on until after midnight.

Great location, had a very nice family stay.

Friendly Staff

Friendly staffs, good service, convenient

Updated older hotel, but very well kept hotel with good sized rooms. Buffet breakfast is excellent. There is a 7-11 across the street and restaurants and shops, including a supermarket (Fresco) all around the hotel. It is only a few blocks from two MRT lines. Staff were friendly and offered excellent service.

The room is spacious for Japanese standards, clean and the hotel has good amenities. I used the public bath and it was very clean and relaxing . Will definitely recommend.

It was my first time in Kyoto and I enjoyed the hotel and everything around it was easy and walkable

The hotel was a bit dated. We had 2 rooms: A room with 4 beds and a room with 2 beds. The room with 4 beds was spacious but we think there was a flea infestation. We ended up with bites all over our ankles and knees. They placed our rooms on the same floor but one they were literally on the opposite sides of the building. This made it difficult for my elderly parents. The breakfast buffet was ok, but honestly very similar to the breakfast buffet we had at our hotel in Tokyo. The main reason we gave this hotel 3 stars and not less is because there was a very nice lady at the front desk that was very knowledgeable and helped us with shipping our luggage, Nozawa. The rest of the staff we encountered at the front desk (mostly young ladies) were not very helpful or as knowledgeable.

Basic Japanese rooms very small and beds very uncomfortable but location was ideal

Our first ever stay in Japan. Everything was perfect and better than our expectations. Staff was very courteous, helpful, and spoke good English.

Great location and friendly staff. A real plus too have an onsen onsite free for guests to use.

Great place in a great location.

Would stay again

While the property was lovely, the bedding (mattress and pillows) were quite uncomfortable. Making for a restless nights sleep. The breakfast offering was not great value. Plus the Laundry with only 2x washers and 2 x dryers was i adequate for the number of guests who wish to use it.

Clean and very polite staff. I had an issue with the room And they apologized and changed it promptly. Staff was wonderful.

Close to the station, Nishiki market, and Gion area. Many dinning option!

In a very good location ,only few minutes to subway station . Japanese public bath was very good , again rooms are very small . Breakfast was good expect the scrambled eggs was very runny and when one guest complained there would not offer to make it again . This seems to a pattern in all hotel when it comes to scrambled eggs we found .

Location and customer service

Room is ok, very basic. Public onsen was small and so crowded, I couldn’t even use it for my 4 days staying there. The area is ok, 7/11 is across the hotel. 15 minutes walk to the shopping street Kawaramachi

The property was very nice and the rooms were great for the 5 days we were there.

Loved this location! Hotel itself is very beautiful and everything is within walking distance!

The staff was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was very good, a mix of some western and japanese dishes.

Breakfast was nice, location was convenient.

friendly staff and clean

This place was very clean, the room was dark and they had a/c we could adjust ourselves. The shower was nice. The breakfast was great.

Was located in a nice area with a public bath and rental bikes included. Was in walking distance to a lot of eating areas and close to a train station and a 7/11 directly across. Curtains in the room blocked out a lot of light which is great. However I think the double room is too small for 2 people you need to either get the next option up or twin beds instead so there’s a bit more space. We tried to upgrade but there was nothing available and we also overhead people upgrading their room as we were checking in as it was too small. There’s also a city tax in Kyoto on top of the final bill which you may miss when looking at the prices. I do think this place is a great option compared to others just make sure to pick the bigger suite if you have 2 people.

Beautiful facilities and onsen. Great location. Helpful staff.

Pros: Decent-sized room - 2 beds, good bathrooms, very healthy breakfast, perfect location. Cons: Horrible pillows — my neck still hurts. They charge 2000 yen for each key card (so for 4 people, it's 8000 yen), saying it's a deposit, but they didn’t refund it.

Great staff and good location near nishiki market as well as karasuma oike station

Nice hotel. Breakfast buffet was good. Friendly staff

Bathroom leaks on the floor when we shower.

Amazing

Great staff who were very friendly and helpful. Good location and nice hotel. I’d stay here again, for sure.

We enjoyed our stay and the location is pretty good.

Great location and friendly staff!

Room was small with dated facilities

Great location near the main shopping area, convenient walk to popular attractions without being too close to crowded areas. Would recommend and would return for a stay.

O den was lovely- 7-11 across the street- what else does anyone want

Excellent location convenient to the subway, which can connect you to other transit options easily. Lots of museums, shopping, and parks within walking distance. Has the feel of an older business class hotel, with the traditional style bathtub/shower and many convenient features like lighting switches on headboards, a retractable clothing line over the tub and pajamas and sandals to wear. It is slightly less soundproofed than some newer hotels, but on an upper floor I had no issues. 7/11 is right across the street for any late night convenience store needs. The laundry on the first floor gets busy but there are coin laundry facilities nearby.

Great service Friendly staff Would love to come back agiain

Good location. Friendly staff.
