Restaurants and shops in the hotel
I had breakfast at “Kyoto Dining Mikura” located on the first floor. When I stayed, both breakfast and dinner were fully booked, and normally breakfast is served buffet style, but it was offered as a set menu where you can choose between a Japanese set or a Western set.
The restaurant had a nice atmosphere where you can enjoy your meal surrounded by the beautiful garden.
Free drinks.
I had the Japanese set which was filling and very delicious.
There was a souvenir shop on the first floor.

Hotel Surroundings
The hotel is located in the center of Kyoto with many shops and restaurants nearby. The brick buildings and retro style buildings were very stylish. It was easy to get to sightseeing spots in Kyoto and I could walk to Kamo River as well. It was a convenient place, but a quiet and calm environment.
There was Kyoto Museum of Culture about a 4 minute walk from the hotel. The annex is a Tatsuno style building which is an important cultural property.
It was about a 10 to 15 minute walk to Nishiki Market.

Summary
I had a nice stay at “Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo.” The location was good near the station, the surrounding cityscape with modern architecture and buildings with a retro atmosphere was nice and I was able to walk to sightseeing spots very easily. The hotel itself was old, but it was clean and functional. I would love to stay here again.
