Feedback about Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo Premier from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo Premier is frequently praised for its superb location, close to Nishiki Market and subway stations, making it easy to explore Kyoto. Guests consistently highlight the spacious and comfortable rooms, some of which even feature a washing machine with a dryer, and enjoy the onsen after a day of sightseeing. The hotel's aesthetic, particularly the lobby and gardens, is also well-regarded; however, a few guests have mentioned that some rooms offer less appealing views of a courtyard or wall. Cocktails at the bar are a popular evening option, and the restaurant provides satisfying dining choices.

Really good Hotel Experience

comfortable suitemodern equipmentprivate hot tubsbreakfast staff
I found a hidden gem for families. My family of four fit comfortably in the junior suite. This hotel opened in August 2024, so it features modern equipment. It also offers both public and private hot tubs. Reservations are needed for private use.
During breakfast, some employees displayed rudeness. One had a bad attitude, and another seemed confused with requests. The egg order took too long, and the breakfast menu remained unchanged daily, resulting in boredom.
Rooms
9/10
The room included cleverly designed shelves with amenities. These included cutlery, plates, soy sauce dishes, wine glasses, and a bottle opener. A table and chairs were in the room. The AC worked well.
Service
10/10
The staff provided really good service. They helped rearrange my stays when I was stuck in Tokyo due to the express line suspension. The staff are very friendly and always helpful. I felt really taken care of.

This hotel is near the subway. Good cafés, stores, restaurants and convenience stores are all close. A French bakery is across the street. Family Mart, Blue Bottle Coffee, and Starbucks are also nearby.

The location was perfect for reaching all the tourist spots, and the room was nice. It was very clean. The bed was comfortable and the bath was amazing. I especially liked the hotel provided pyjamas (so thoughtful!).
The dinner menu at the restaurant could use a few more dishes.
