Good reasonable family friendly Kyoto hotel

Good central location near Karasuma Oike station. Room with 4 beds made traveling with 2 teens easy. The beds were reasonably comfortable, not rock hard. Breakfast was pricy but good pastries and a good mix of western and Japanese options. Good service, clean quiet room with adequate space, and easy check in and out.

This is the second time I have stayed here visiting family. Overall nice property but there was an issue with guests from Mainland China. They were loud, drunk, rude, and made thenstay less enjoyable. This hotel should review it's travel partners and better vet the groups coming in. The area is good but too many Gaijin tourists who are ruining Kyoto with there boorish behavior. I feel sorry for the locals.

A fine base-of-operations in Kyoto

The Mitsui Garden Hotel (MGH) is a fine hotel centrally located in Kyoto, a half-block on a side-street from the main boulevard that intersects the JR station. It is a short walk from several subway stations and 3 subway stops from the JR station. There are several restaurants nearby, including half-a-dozen coffee shops and a convenience store directly across the street. The MGH is a high quality hotel while its decor is getting a bit dated. The rooms are large by local standards. Daily housekeeping service was fine. Internet worked fine. The only staff I interacted with was the front desk, and the clerk was very helpful with a late-check-in. There is sparse English anywhere in the hotel, so be prepared for some challenges - for example, operating the air conditioning controls was hit-and-miss. The only English television channel was CNN, and that was overdubbed with Japanese most of the time. Overall, I can confidently recommend the MGH if you need reliable and hassle-free accommodations. It is not a luxurious hotel, but as a base-of-operations while in Kyoto, it is fine.
