“Always a pleasure to stay at the Mitsui Kyoto”
LikedOne of our favorite hotels in the world. Beautiful, serene, Mitsui Kyoto is a reflection of the enduring elegance of Kyoto.
LikedBeautifully designed hotel, showcasing the work of artists and designers. Room, beds, linens are luxurious and spa is unbeatable.
“The perfect getaway!”
LikedThe property at the MITSUI alone was stunning. The architecture was beautiful and the gardens were perfectly kept. We received tea and hand towels upon arrival, daily gifts were delivered to our room (face mask, chocolates, and lip balm), and we even got to see its cherry blossom tree in full bloom during our stay. The public onsen was also the perfect space for a quiet day or night at the hotel. It’s the bottom floor so you feel like you are transported to another location. We left feeling rejuvenated from the long days of exploring and the loudness of other cities we visited.
DislikedBreakfast felt chaotic on some days. The earlier we went, the better. After 9am, it was always busy and it felt like the staff was overwhelmed and flustered. We understood since it was cherry blossom season but it was noticeable.
“10/10 would recommend”
LikedOne of the best hotels we have stayed in. Very polite staff, great facilities and very clean.
“Perfect choice for a luxury experience in Kyoto”
LikedHotel facilities were amazing with a beautiful garden in the middle. The room itself (Deluxe Suite) was also perfect. The interior decor created a very relaxing ambience. Everything they provided in the room was also top notch. Location is very convenient with all attractions easily accessible by taxi or metro. Kyoto is not big so it is easy to get around. Service was also perfect.
DislikedOnly minor room for improvement was the small selection of food for breakfast. There’s enough variety for a 2-3 day stay but beyond that some may find the selection repetitive.
