What Guests Say
breakfast was very good, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Location and price was really good as well. Its only a few blocks away from the Kyoto Subway and 1,000 yen taxi ride from Kyoto Station. They only have one washer/dryer, but less then one block away there is a coin laundry with plenty of them.

I loved the interior and all the facilities. The room was spacious for a hotel room in Japan. Additionally, I liked that it was very centrally located (next to Karasuma Station), which allowed for easy access to everything, but it was not in the crowded tourist area of Shijo. Everything was so clean, and the shared bath had a great view to a garden space.

It had rooms with three beds, which are not available in many hotels.

The hotel is colorful and attractive. The lobby looks onto a Japanese garden with comfortable chairs where we enjoyed reading time. The onsen/public bath is great and was not too crowded at the time I went, 6pm. The beds were very comfortable and the shower had nice pressure.

The hotel is located about 10 minutes from the local tube and there’s a bus that takes you directly to Shin-Osaka station which we found convenient since we arrived by Shinkansen. The hotel was phenomenal and the service was excellent. The staff even helped us out with making restaurant reservations as we couldn’t make local phone calls. The facilities are amazing and we were able to use the in house washing machines to do laundry. The public bath is an amazing addition. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic with both local Japanese delicacies and continental dishes. If you get a choice you should absolutely look to include breakfast in your stay it was the highlight of our trip!

I paid for the breakfast which was excellent with their selection of traditional Japanese food and western food. Hotel location was convenient to get to the Karasuma Station where I could catch the express train to Osaka. Also it was central to catching buses to many historical sites in the west, east and north. The room with two twin beds was adequate. Loved the Toto digital toilet.

Stayed at Mitsui Garden hotels for 3D2N. Room was small but nice and comfy, with humidifier provided. Breakfast was great (choices were similar to most other hotels, but not too crowded hence we had breakfast peacefully. Hotel location was 2 stations away from Kyoto station, however we can take the #50 bua direct from Kyoto station which stops in front of the hotel. Traveling to other areas such as Kyoto Bal, Gion and others could be reached by bus or train. There’s a family mart just 2-3 buildings next to the hotel hence very convenient. Public bath was not that big, with ~10 shower booths however was good enough and amenities provided (shampoo, conditioner, soap, facial wash, cleanser)

This was our favorite hotel during our stay in Japan. The hotel is quite big, not very personal, but it was actually much better than we expected. We got a free upgrade to a Moderate room when we arrived and that room was very spacious and nice. The TV had netflix etc and all other basic facilities you need. Beds was very comfortable. It is not the most central hotel but easy to get to all other parts of the city. We found a cute small road with lots of nice restaurants nearby. We would have wished we stayed here longer! There was a small spa also but we didn't use this.

Check-in fast and efficient. Room and all the facilities were very comfy and useful. Laundromat in the hotel, which is super useful. Room size is just enough for 1-2 people. Hotel is 5 minutes away from Shijo metro station (connection to Kyoto train station) and to Karasuma station (direct connection to Osaka-Umeda station).

The location was quiet but convenient. Ideal for a decent walk to Karasuma and beyond using various rail ways.. The room was clearly recently regraded and tasteful without being over the top nor boring. Breakfast was consistent and provided a good cross section of Japanese and Western bits and pieces. A diner should be able to find sufficient to enjoy breakfast. The Coffee was good even though I am a Tea preference person.
