Lindsay
Impeccable property. Beautiful, comfortable rooms and fantastic facilities. The Onsen downstairs was so delightful. As a vegetarian, the breakfast buffet was really disappointing, and we had to find food off campus daily, but otherwise I have nothing negative to say.
Luis Alberto
Excellent hotel overall
Connie
Check in was very smooth and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and a great layout. I felt like the hotel put a lot of thought and care into the customer experience. I'll definitely stay here again when I'm back in Kyoto.
CIELO ROSARIO
Great hotel, with great amenities. The staff was helpful. The hotel is a good walking distance to the shopping areas in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Very clean and well maintained.
STEPHEN
I loved the hot bath spa room. Food was great. Great location.
Stephanie
The hotel is well located, a few blocks away from the action, but on a quiet area. Rooms are nice and clean - lovely shower. The onsen was outstanding, so clean, modern and well appointed. Would definitely go back!
Andreea
Nice hotel. Food was ok. Walkable and close to main touristic spots.
Ralph
Everything was well thought of. Staff are great, hotel and amenities are superb! I mean we enjoyed staying in the hotel than roaming out which is bad
Habib
Beautiful interior design with attention to details.
Hassna
I stayed with two teenagers and one 8 year old. Amazing staff, big enough room. Laundry in the basement with coins. The restaurant is good.. had lunch it was great.
Eric
Property was very nice, clean and conveniently located. The workout room was too small.
Sourav
Very unique breakfast. Close to attractions and so many restaurants and subway stations. Well maintained property, I highly recommend this hotel.
Abhay
It's really uniquely located and has really great facilities and great staff, going above and beyond during that stay.
We had a whole incident with my daughter'sphone being left behind in a car and a couple of staff members helped us locate the phone in a taxi room.

Victoria
Love it! Clean hotel. Will back again.
Valery
Very clean room and very polite staff. Thank you very much for excellent room 2525 with great view.
Tida
The staff at Mitsui Sanjo Premiere was very polite and helpful. The room was exceptionally clean, and it’s an easy walk to shops and restaurants. I really enjoyed my stay.
Sophia
Great location! We were able to walk to many areas we were interested in. So many options for restaurants and shopping. Hotel was clean, safe, wonderful team members and had many amenities.
Brooke
The property is extremely beautiful, the amenities, especially the onsen bath were amazing and the rooms were spacious, clean and thoughtfully designed. The breakfast and lunch were delicious and the bar staff were relatively attentive. The front staff were helpful and attentive. If you need to do laundry they do have public coin laundry but it is always very busy so you may be waiting a very long time. We wish we would’ve upgraded our room with laundry included as we ended up having to go to a laundromat down the street (in the rain).
Irene T
The check-in took a very long time which I am still puzzled why!
The picture of the hotel is very misleading. In expedia site, it gave the impression of beautiful green hills. In fact it’s location in city surrounded by buildings. Therefore, it’s kind of disappointing when I walked in the hotel because it’s not what I have expected.
I booked a room with a view( that’s what it looks in the picture). They intended to assign me a windowless room. I was glad that I checked the room before I moved in. And I insisted to have an outside window.
Other than the above, it’s an okay place to stay.

Very clean and the staff were very professional and inviting. Private onsen was fantastic. Room was spacious, clean, and modern. Loved that all lights were controlled by a center console. Definitely a must stay when you are in Kyoto. It was also walking distance to the markets.
John
We enjoyed our stay, staff are very friendly and helpful, the room area spacious and clean, clean he location is convenient ,highly recommended!
Maria Luisa
Wonderful hotel with super kind staff and very well located as it is about 20 minutes from everything
Emily
It was a comfortable and quiet stay right in the heart of Kyoto. Conveniently located by a subway stop, close to shops and restaurants, but not right in the middle of loud busy areas. It was a refuge and would recommend to anyone going to Kyoto!
Lance
Perfect spot in Kyoto near all of the hot spots. Great check-in process and was able to accommodate us when we showed up at 10 AM. Small gym that includes hand weights. Such polite and wonderful staff. Very polished building and amenities.
Sudhakar
Amazing location, friendly staff , nice in hotel restraunt. Everything was awesome.
Dong Jin
The public bath facility and the coin laundry were excellent.
Haeree
Wonderful place to stay. My only critique is the food (breakfast in particular)
Mason
great location, very nice rooms, great Onsen, loved the breakfast.
Amelia
We had a wonderful stay at the Mitsui Garden Hotel Sanjo Premier. Honestly, I think this one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had. The hotel is located a few minutes from the Karasuma Oike metro stop, which makes it very easy to get to Kyoto Station. It’s also centrally located to a lot of the sites in Kyoto like Nijo Castle, the national garden, Ginkakuji and the Philosophers Path. It’s also a few minutes from Nishiki Market and right across the street from the Kyoto Museum. There were plenty of restaurants and coffee shops to choose from for breakfast and dinner right in the neighborhood. The property was fresh, modern and impeccably clean. We had the happy hour here one night, and found the food and drink options to be fresh and interesting. I didn’t try the breakfast or dinner here. Our room was spotless and comfortable. The shower was amazing. Absolutely no faults in the property or upkeep. The staff added a luster to the property. Always cheerful and supremely helpful, they arranged for our baggage shipment to our next destination and worked with me on my rudimentary Japanese. All of the staff I encountered had a very advanced level of English conversational ability. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. We simply loved this property
Sean
It’s a truly zen feeling and they have the Japanese bath available for public or private. Great location in Kyoto. Truly beautiful and staff was out of this world
Snehal
Clean room in a nice part of Kyoto. This hotel is a bit of a walk from Gion and the older parts of Kyoto but centrally located for shopping and restaurants.
Parul
Excellent location and good value.
Brian
No negatives to this property! Truly
Joel
This hotel is amazing. Close to everything and…..washer and dryer in the room. Game changer for the long trip we took.
Michaela
We loved staying here. It was super clean, spacious, and foreigner friendly. We had a washer/dryer in our room that was super useful. The restaurant downstairs is also very good. Would definitely stay here again in the future!
Judith
I would definitely stay here next time I visit Kyoto and I will be back.

5 Star items hotel Is very clean, the location is fantastic. Staff are polite but limited English which was not a problem. Laundry room and decent size gym.
4 star items: Onsen is relaxing but if you are expect ing a cold plunge to go with the hot bath water you will need to take a cold shower. That being said it remains open until 1 AM.
Of the 4 hotels we stayed at we liked this breakfast the least, it wasn't bad just not as good as some of the other buffets. That being said their are a lot of coffee and pastry shops in the neighborhood which were a delight to try.

Perfect location to access trains and walk to many shopping streets, restaurants, Yasaka shrine etc. Rooms are very comfortable with great amenities like cutlery and glasses and coffee and tea. I enjoyed being able to grab a good coffee from the lobby to drink while I got ready in the mornings. The shower may have been the best I’ve *ever* had, worldwide! Everything about our stay was comfortable and lovely. Family Mart on the corner (iykyk). breakfast looked wonderful but we were always out exploring during breakfast hours (iykyk) so we didn’t try it. The only negative was the laundry: convenient in the basement but left our clothes wet even after extended dry cycles, and left it stinkier than when we put it in. Next time, we won’t do laundry…but we will stay again!
Tatyana
Check in took a long time but other than loved our stay. Breakfast was also a 3.5/5 - but again, I’d be happy to stay there on a future trip.
Taylan
It was okay but for five star hotel.

The hotel was phenomenal, and the service was of very high quality. The cleanliness was incredible, and the staff was wonderful. Accessibility is at 100%. Highly recommended.
Lean
Pros: Clean, modern, comfortable. There is a nice private spa area you can go to but it's kinda pricey.
Cons: There was an idiot that woke us up, banging on walls at 6 in the morning. 2 PEOPLE had to come to our room to confirm and they ended up temporarely moving us to another room so we can sleep INSTEAD of finding where the noise came from and making it stop. It's like they were scared of confronting the guy who was being noisy. Ridiculous! They did not give us ANY kind of compensation for this horrible night. It was a huge inconvenience and they didn't even want to take 5$ off of our invoice. LAME LAME LAME management and customer service. STAY AWAY.

Very clean well designed hotel. The staff were very attentive and polite.
Meg
Modern and stylish hotel well situated in Kyoto central area within walking distance of many attractions. Staff is friendly and eager to help. Breakfast had a wide selection of well made option. I would stay there again and recommend it as great option. The public onsen was a nice experience. We also reserved the private onsen and it was an excellent experience.
Shaurav

Paola
This place was 10/10. The staff was phenomenal, so kind and helpful. From the welcome drinks to the origami given to my little one helping us get Yamato luggage forwarding situated, they gladly went above and beyond. They have complimentary umbrellas to use when it rains. Rooms are so clean and modern, although no much space for your luggage, but the in-room washer/dryer was awesome. We didn’t try out the onsen or gym but looked great. The hotel itself is so zen and impeccable. Not many kids but definitely kid friendly. Worth the upgrade to stay here. We tried the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Dinner was 10/10 and breakfast 7/10 but portions are small for the price but it was convenient. Will definitely be back to this location!
Dmitriy
amazing breakfast
dov
This property was awesome. I would give it five stars all around. The location is right next to all of the boutique shopping. You are a three block walk from Nishiki market. Three blocks in the other direction, you have the main tourist shopping district, but the area of the hotel is way cooler for shopping because it has all of these very cool Japanese brands. The breakfast was great and the kids ate for free. we also had dinner at the hotel. Food was great but service was very slow. You are an easy Uber away from all of the shrines and main attractions. Walkable to Pontocho Ally and Gion in about 15/20 minutes. The hotel lobby is beautiful and brand new. Staff was very kind and helpful. We got a king room with a sofa bed, and it was spacious with a great lighting and super modern amenities. Highly recommend.
Rolando
Amazing hotel!

Really great people & location!
Van
Staffs were very nice and helpful, but the room was unexceptionable, when I opened the curtain all I saw was a wall next to the window almost within reaching, it seemed like I was in a prison, and this hotel they reused slipper, this hotel should be 2-3 stars (not 4-5 stars).
Anita
Beautiful hotel and decor. The Junior suite was very spacious. The public bath was a unique experience the hotel offered. One of the best places I have stayed
Hirokatsu
Clean room, WiFi was provided and all staff were helpful and very professional.
Only small down side in my opinion was the breakfast. Don’t stay at hotels much so not sure this is the norm, but the choice of main breakfast did not change. Buffett choices were great though

The staff could not do enough to help, we felt very welcome, the room was fantastic (although we did have a view of a chainlink fence and a wall) the Onsen was great, the breakfast was great and the location couldn't have been better!

Absolutely fantastic stay! The highlight of this hotel is truly the staff! they were incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

Everyone speaks English properly, so we were able to communicate with them easily. The room was clean and nice and big enough. The location is great, has a market around it and close to touristic locations.
Thomas
Very good location. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Handy to have a washing machine in the room. Two things to improve for me: 1. Let the room a/c cool below 20 degrees and 2. Earlier gym opening hours.
Valdis
Excellent hotel and staff. When I come back to
I will stay with this same hotel chain.
I will stay with this same hotel chain.
Jade
One note is that if you get a room above the onsen, good luck. There is a drum or something that will beat occasionally all day, even early morning and late at night. Aside from that it was a nice place.
Minoo
Staff were great and the property in very good condition. We had a 3 bed room and the luggage storage was limited. Overall, pricy for the room condition
