Mitsui Garden Hotels in Kyoto

If you are looking for a good value hotel in Kyoto, with reasonable transit connections, the Mitsu Shijo is a good option. We had a relatively small standard room but managed with 2 people. Pros: Sento - clean, relaxing and spacious with a nice makeup area. Buses to different sights nearby. Breakfast is Japanese and the coffee machine makes good lattes. Very nice staff Life groceries nearby provides variety of food and takeaways. Cons: The hotel is in the centre of the city and while that may seem useful, it’s quite a trip to the major sights and areas. The local restaurants also should be booked on tabelog to make sure you get in.

Not a bad hotel to stay in. There is a complimentary drink for each guest per stay in the hotel. The concept is towards minimalist, comfortable beds and fairly sound proof. The twin room is consider hire spacious. There is a sauna and onsen (male/female switched in alternate days), but we didn’t utilise. The toilet Is a bit dark and wash basin is situated outside. Check in is at 17:00hrs and check out is before 14:00hrs. It’s good for guests who are catching a later flight. Staff are wonderful and very helpful.

Our 2nd time staying. Very good location with lots of great restaurants around. Nearby subway stations and bus stations. Walkable distance to shopping area and even site seeing locations.

Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at in Japan. We upgraded to the pink room for a small fee at the suggestion of the front desk staff. I particularly enjoyed the presence of the smoking rooms, vending machine and the reliable luggage storage. The beds were also very comfortable. I can only recommend this hotel!

Overall, I really liked the hotel! The location is super convenient — close to everywhere we wanted to go. The room was clean and the design was minimal but stylish, which I really loved. They also have a relaxing bath house, which was a nice bonus. One of my favorite things was that the TV in the room could connect directly to my phone — so convenient! However, there was one issue. My friend lost a necklace, and it felt like the staff didn’t communicate well with each other. It seemed like no proper report or message was passed on, because every time we asked, we had to explain everything from the beginning. That was a bit frustrating. I really hope the necklace is found — please contact us as soon as possible if it is! That’s all from me. Overall, still a good stay!

A beautiful hotel in the heart of Gion and the finest on our second venture to Japan. The staff are superb, the food is delicious and the service is excellent. The rooms are beautiful, spacious and modern. After a long day out with two very young children we always looked forward to coming home. The bar is a gem and the the bar staff are equally wonderful. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

This new hotel is so beautiful. The room is big and lovely and beds were very comfortable. The service exceptional. We only stayed 2 nights but would have loved to stay more. The location is amazing . As two women , we walked around easily, even in late hours. There are lots of cafe's and delicious things to eat around us. walking distance to nearly everything like Nishiki Market (錦市場 Nishiki Ichiba). The breakfast is western, with a rich buffet and also a la carte options like toast with avocado and scrambelled eggs , and only one of the options- Asian. I would add healthier options like wholewheat bread, more fruit , cooked vegetables and steamed rice. All in all it was an amzing stay! Can't wait to return , will definitele stay again !!
