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.

The rooms were wonderful and bed was very comfortable. The bar area is very scenic and the kiwi cocktail that was on special was one of the best I’ve had. We really enjoyed the option to reserve the onsen privately as well. Would love to return!

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, in all areas including room cleanliness and organization, customer service (amazing), a quiet room, relaxed atmosphere, excellent breakfast (Japanese or American, served at the table, plus an extensive buffet, all items fresh and delicious. Location is amazing, 5m walk to a metro station and right across the street from Nijojo castle which was one of the best things we have seen in Japan.

Our stay at The Mitsui Kyoto was truly excellent.
The hotel facilities are wonderful — very comfortable, beautifully designed, and extremely well maintained. The overall atmosphere of the property is elegant and serene, perfectly reflecting the spirit of Kyoto. Our room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable, making it a pleasure to return to after a day of exploring the city.
One of the highlights of our stay was the private onsen experience, which was exceptional. The facilities are immaculate and the experience is both relaxing and memorable.
We did have a small inconvenience during check-in, but the team handled the situation in a very professional and gracious manner. They immediately apologized and did everything possible to make up for the issue, which we truly appreciated.
Breakfast was also very good, with high quality ingredients and a pleasant atmosphere, although service can be a little slow at times.
We traveled with our 4-year-old daughter, and she was treated with remarkable kindness by the entire staff. The hotel even prepared a robe and pajamas in her size, which was a very thoughtful touch. They also kindly arranged a birthday cake for my wife, which made the occasion even more special.
I would like to extend special thanks to Ms. Nanayo Doi and Mr. Hiroshi Mototake, who were both extremely attentive and thoughtful throughout our stay.
We are very grateful for the hospitality we received. We would certainly stay here again and warmly

Amazing design. Amazing attention to detail in interior finishes. Extraordinary staff, but concierge made a bad choices in suggesting the Kenniji Gion Maruyama restaurant which was priced like a three start Michelin restaurant, but did not deserve even to be in the Michelin Guide. The Kaiseki menu was so bad that we were embarrased in front of our guests. The concierge also booked a car to go to the Miho Museum, but the driver was so unprofessional that he could not find the museum with his GPS.
