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.

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.

Outstanding hotel — the best of my Japan trip HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO delivered an exceptional stay from start to finish. The team is highly professional, and the hotel beautifully reflects Kyoto’s historical atmosphere—especially through the staff’s traditional attire and the stunning garden. During my trip to Japan, I stayed in five hotels from well-known brands, and this property exceeded all of them in every aspect. It is the only hotel I would definitely return to, and I truly hope to see you again next year.
