    Frankly only it’s room rate. 2x the Dusit Thani where we stayed a few nights prior.

    Top class hotel with very welcome green oasis. Next to temple. Excellent and abundant staff. Amazing spa. Decent gym. Also great to have an Italian restaurant … for a change.

    The hotel was AMAZING, the location, the rooms, the cleanliness, the people, the small city everything. A big thank you to everyone at the hotel. Kyoto is such a beautiful and very special place. We had an amazing time at the best country we have visited so far. The culture of Japanese people along with the delicious food is what we will have in our heart and memories forever!

    Breakfast 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.

    The 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.

    Only 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.

    Hotel 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.

    If you want a comfortable luxury stay then this is the best hotel in Kyoto. Spacious rooms, great hospitality, amazing bathroom & beautiful interior. The staff were very helpful & made it easy getting taxis & arranging & calling kimono rental shops. But best of all was the spa & the private onset. As a man with tattoos I was paranoid but it was amazing I got to use the facilities & the private onset was like something out of a manga. Worth every penny
