I had a good 6-night stay at Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Sanjo Premier. The hotel features a welcoming entrance and a sunlit lobby, but I did find the opaque windows a bit claustrophobic. The location was fantastic, just a couple of blocks from a vibrant food market and surrounded by charming boutiques and temples. Overall, it's hard to imagine staying anywhere else in Kyoto.
