At first, we tried to book a hotel near Kyoto Station. None was available within our price range but in the end we were very happy with Mitsui Garden Hotel as our base to explore Kyoto and Kansai region. Below are some of what we experienced while staying at the hotel. Location was good. It's not too far from Kyoto... More

Poor customer service. Unmotivated staff, and even worse, during our stay here we were confronted with remarks from the staff that were of discriminative and sexistic nature. Despite the fact that the hotel is situated in a decent location I would never want to stay at this hotel again. There are plenty of other hotels in this area where they... More

Very well located, rooms are big on Japanese standards, nice and clean Onsen. Very helpful staff with great restaurant recommendations. The price was very competitive. Calm and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast room can get a little crowded but the food was fine. Bus stops and subway very close. Nice business hotel experience with a budget price. Will definitely stay again.

This hotel is very well located to explore Kyoto. The staff are really helpful and the breakfast was varied and good quality. The room we had was a smoking twin as the non smoking rooms had all gone - this was disappointing and meant the room didn't feel as fresh as we would have liked. The room size was good... More

The location of this hotel is fantastic, bus stops outside and close by, close to the subway and not too far to walk to Gion and the main department stores. I didn't eat at the hotel, there are plenty of convenience stores and eating options close by so there's plenty of options. The room was a fair size by Japanese... More

We stayed at that Hotel few nights. Hotel itself is ok. Room are quite wide, clean and well equipped...maybe bathroom is a little too small for western customers. Breakfast served with buffet formula is quite rich and good, maybe breakfast room is a little ugly as it looks like a "school lunch room". Position is very good, close to Kyoto... More

Would highly recommend this hotel. It was clean, well presented, had lovely staff and a great location. The food in the restaurant was good, but you've got to get to breakfast by 9:30am even though breakfast goes until 10am or they won't let you in. We stayed in 4 hotels across Japan & this was the best one.

Got a bit lucky with this hotel as I could not book several others that were my preferred choices. Turns out that Mitsui Garden has one of the best locations in Kyoto. Its located off Shijo street near the Shijo-Karasuma subway stations. There are tons of shops and eateries around, both expensive and less expensive (but everything is expensive in... More

My husband and I stayed here because it was almost the only hotel left when we booked last min, and we are glad we did! Lovely location, easy to get to all of Kyoto's sights. Lots of food options nearby. We booked a semi-double and we were worried it was going to be too small, but not at all. It... More
