Most favorite hotels in Japan. Great hospitality, restaurants, and facilities. More than anything we love the hotel’s designs and ambiance that makes us feel relaxed.
An absolutely top notch hotel in a great walking distance to a lot of restaurants, markets, and sites. The spa was unbelievable and this hotel definitely deserves the praise it gets online. Can’t wait to come back
Beautiful hotel, very comfortable quiet rooms with truly blackout shades and temperature control—great to catch up on rest after a long day of sightseeing. The thermal springs are visually stunning and very soothing. The staff is lovely.
The breakfast was amazing and beautiful ! Everything was delicious . The spa was relaxing! The best massage I ever had . The hot springs were amazing !
Truly beautiful hotel. Amazing staff. Great spa. Fantastic location.
Rooms with city view basically looking at the narrow, not interesting street. If you want an elevated experience make sure to get a garden or Castle view.
This hotel was outstanding. Beautifully designed and centered around a tranquil Japanese tea garden, peaceful, yet conveniently located. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The large onsen in the spa was gorgeous and designed with soothing lighting. The food was also very good. Their afternoon tea looked quiet special, although we didn't try it. I highly recommend this hotel.
Beautiful property wonderfully appointed and comfortable rooms, not a single missing item to make the stay perfect, and excellent staff, made the stay very enjoyable.
Simply fantastic. Rooms were spacious and extremely well appointed and the spa was excellent after a long days sightseeing. Staff were courteous and professional. One of the best hotels I have stayed in anywhere in all my travels.
Hotel The Mitsui was a phenomenal hotel. The amenties, design, and cleanliness were truly standout. The private onsen was lovely. The attentiveness and knowledge of the hotel staff really is top notch. The Japanese style breakfast was beautifully presented. This is one of the best urban hotels I’ve ever stayed in Japan or Europe. I will definitely be returning when I come back to Kyoto. I highly recommend this hotel.
