Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji

This hotel is in a great location nearly next to Nishiki Market. Around the hotel is very quiet. The room we received was facing the graveyard, I’m not sure why there are so many negatives reviews about it but we had no problems with it. No ****** visited us😋😅 The bed was very spacious but a little hard. The pillows were also quite hard so we woke up sore a few times… overall the room was very clean and amenities were available downstairs if needed like toothbrush or qtips. The staff were very kind and brought our luggage to our room before we arrived through luggage forwarding. After check out, they also allowed us to store it in the back for a few hours.

Maybe my favorite hotel that I stayed in in Kyoto. Fantastic design of the building interior and friendly staff, an excellent amenities.

We had a fantastic stay here! The service was exceptional—the front desk staff kindly allowed us to check in early at no extra charge, which was a wonderful surprise and greatly appreciated. The lady at the front desk spoke fluent English, making check-in and all our interactions smooth and effortless. The location could not be better! It's perfectly situated near tons of shopping, incredible dining options, and local spots. Many major sightseeing attractions were easily within walking distance, making it super convenient to explore the city. Excellent cleanliness and facilities as well. Highly recommended!

They provide good concierge services, ie. phone call reservations for souvenirs and restaurant and helped you translate to the local Japanese. Location is close to the main street of shopping outlets and shops Location is good for access to all restaurants and eatery options

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Mitsui. It’s right in the middle o the bustling city yet the surrounding area has a somewhat more laidback vibe. Breakfast is superb, the onsen is very relaxing, our room was tastefully designed and spacious enough for two. We joined in the early morning temple ritual that cleared our headspace and given us spiritual grounding..This is now one of my best kept secret when going to Kyoto. 😉 will definitely go back to explore and recharge.

Stayed at the Mitsui Garden Hotel Kawaramachi Jokyoji from 20-24 Dec. This was my 2nd stay there in 2 consecutive months, despite there being hundreds of hotels in Kyoto.  Location:  the hotel is located in the city center with Nishiki Market and Teramachi indoor shopping street located very closeby. Kawaramachi is also a big commercial street lined with plethora of shops and malls.  Train stations within walking distance.  Hotel Facilities and Amenities:  this is a very beautiful hotel next to a temple (and small cemetery). The rooms are exemplary clean and quite spacious for Japan’s standard. Many facilities such as a public onsen, on-site restaurant, vending machine, ice machine, etc. No gym, which is not a big deal at all if you are in Kyoto for a short tourist visit.  You will be doing a lot of walking anyway if you choose to.   I only visited the on-site restaurant for dinner once. The food was okay, but nothing to write home about. Service staff was accommodating (I had to use a wheelchair at the time); however, service was lackluster otherwise.   Hotel staff service:  cannot praise the service by the hotel staff enough. This time around, I had injured my foot and couldn’t walk for 2 days. I was touched by the staff’s incredible kindness - they went out of their way to really help me out. Overall:  if you want city center location with easy access to modern shops and an array of restaurants within walking distance, big and super clean room, and great hospitality,  I’d highly recommend this hotel.

Really nice environment Smell good Freidnly and helpful staffs Clean room Will come back next time Highly recommend
