The beds were large and comfortable. The common areas were spacious and welcoming. We were so impressed by the Piece Hostel Sanjo. We didn’t know what to expect given it’s a hostel. But our expectations were blown away. It’s a very modern, clean and cool place.

Opening in March 2014, Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shinmachi Bettei offers accommodations with a modern yet traditional décor. Free Wi-Fi is available at the entire property and guests can refresh in the public bath. Shijo and Karasuma Station are both within a 10-minute walk away. The room was the best that I stayed in in Japan. The room was well sized, aesthetically pleasing with a Japanese feel, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The room was also set with drip coffee and a selection of teas. The Onsen, only for hotel guests, was also free and available anytime between 3pm and 9am. This was arguably the best part of my stay! The Onsen was always empty when I went (around 9pm) and I could sit and relax in the lounge area after my bath, which was wonderful! The hotel is also very central and surrounded by incredible restaurants.
