This hotel boasts an excellent location, right at the exit of Higashi-Ginza subway station. There are also two other Mitsui Garden hotels nearby, so be careful not to get them confused. It's very close to Tsukiji Market, the Ginza shopping district, and the Imperial Palace, making it ideal for runners.

Being a new hotel, the facilities and cleanliness are top-notch, much better than the one in Italia-gai (Shiodome), though the price is a bit higher too.

I really liked their public private onsen (hot spring bath), but the gym is too small. Both are located on the second floor, and there's a vending machine selling drinks, which is convenient.

The room was quite small, especially compared to the Hotel Nikko I stayed in, which was a bit out of the way. It felt too cramped, and the transportation wasn't great. Overall, Tokyo didn't leave a good impression on me. I only took photos at Hotel Nikko, so I'd recommend staying there, haha.

This room size is just right for one person without luggage. I'm not sure what tier it falls into in Japan, but in China, it's probably on par with or slightly below a Hilton. I'd be willing to stay here again on my next trip to Tokyo. There's a Kyushu ramen place nearby that's quite good, but I wouldn't really recommend Yuzugumi (Oil Group).

Stayed here for a few days in late autumn/early winter (Chau winter vibes). The location is really convenient – just one stop from Shinjuku Station, so getting around central Tokyo is super easy by train. That’s probably the biggest plus.
However, once you step out of the hotel, there’s literally nothing around. No convenience stores, no cafes, no supermarkets… nothing. Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere even though we’re technically in Tokyo. Had to walk quite a distance just to grab some snacks or drinks.
The air conditioning/heating system is terrible. It barely works. We were lucky because it was winter and we didn’t need much cooling, but if it had been summer, I’m pretty sure we would’ve melted. The room temperature was hard to control properly.
On the positive side, the room itself is surprisingly spacious for Tokyo standards – one of the bigger ones we’ve had. The place was also clean overall, no major complaints there.
The bathroom design is a mystery though. There’s ZERO space to hang anything – no hooks, no towel racks, nothing. We ended up hanging towels on the door handle or just leaving them on the floor. Very impractical.
Overall, it’s okay if you just need a place to sleep and don’t mind the lack of nearby amenities or the wonky AC. But for the price, I expected a bit more comfort and convenience.

This hotel feels remarkably spacious for a Japanese hotel; you can fully open your suitcase without it getting in the way. For my last three trips to Tokyo, I've chosen the Ueno Garden hotels, and each one has been very comfortable.

There's a convenience store right across the street if you turn right, and plenty of dining options nearby. The only minor drawback is that you have to cross a pedestrian bridge when coming from Ueno Station, which can be a bit confusing. I think it's easier to exit from the Panda entrance. Google Maps led me down a path without an elevator, so I just ended up wandering around without navigation! 😂 Also, the pedestrian bridge elevators stop working at night, so if you have luggage, that's something to keep in mind.

I really like the Toyosu area (although Toyosu Banrai is actually one stop away). It is connected to LalaPort mall, has airport limousine bus stop right outside (best to reserve beforehand), a great view of Mount Fuji on a clear day and Christmas fireworks over Odaiba Bridge. Even the entrance hallway with its decor and choice of music, reminds me of TeamLabs. Rooms are big enough for me, love the onsen, love their toiletries. Breakfast selection is meh and the same every day. No warabi mochi even (what happened?? This used to be a staple across Mitsui hotels!). Go outside for brekkie. Staff not accommodating to late checkouts. Must pay extra per hour

After staying at the same hotel in Yokohama, I had high expectations for my stay in Roppongi. However, the Superior room I’ve booked was smaller than expected, room was dusty and quite dark. Fortunately, the hotel staff is nice and kindly allowed us to upgrade to 2 Deluxe rooms; otherwise, we might have considered moving to another hotel to enjoy our stay. Breakfast was presented in a fine-dining style, and the staff were pleasant and accommodating.

Facilities: Comprehensive, they have everything you could need.
Cleanliness: Quite clean, and the lobby smells nice.
Environment: There's a train station nearby, so it can be a bit noisy. However, it's very close to Ginza, which is convenient.
Service: Not very satisfied. One or two of the front desk staff members were quite arrogant, and I wonder if that's how they treat Chinese guests. On the first night of my stay, a dishevelled drunkard was banging on my door at 3 or 4 in the morning, which was very unsettling for someone staying alone. But the hotel didn't provide immediate assistance. The next day, when we inquired at the front desk, all we got were a few 'sumimasen's and no real response...
Summary: Facilities are decent, location is good, but service is a matter of opinion.

I stayed for eight nights in a row, and overall, it was a mixed experience. While I don't want to give a bad review, some negative aspects were quite apparent, and in the spirit of being factual, I feel I should share them. 

Let's start with the positives. First, the location is excellent. The hotel is connected directly to the subway station downstairs. If you're coming on the Ginza Line or Hanzomon Line, get off at Mitsukoshimae Station. As others have mentioned, Exit A9 has an elevator, while A10 does not, requiring stairs. However, if you don't want to come up to street level, walk past A10 and continue straight in the direction of JR Shin-Nihombashi. About 40 meters further, you'll find Exit 1 (as shown in the picture). Go in, take the escalator up, then turn left (as shown in the picture), and you'll see the hotel's small entrance. Inside, a woman in a kimono will greet you and guide you to the elevator, informing you that the front desk is on the 9th floor. So, three subway lines pass through the hotel, offering direct access to many attractions, and it's only one stop from Tokyo Station. Second, the customer service was generally very good. Both the front desk and restaurant staff were polite and greeted guests respectfully. Third, the room size was just right for one person, and the amenities mostly met customer needs. It was generally clean, though there were some noticeable scuff marks on the walls and a bit of dust in the corners. However, it wasn't overtly unbearable, so I'd say the room's cleanliness was acceptable. Fourth, the air conditioning in the room was freely adjustable and almost silent, and the soundproofing was excellent, making for a quiet night's sleep. Fifth, the shopping environment was great, with plenty of goods and fewer crowds. The subway concourse connects to several surrounding shopping malls, like Mitsukoshi Department Store and the Muromachi shopping centers. If you walk 200-300 meters further towards Kanda Station, you'll find even more restaurants and izakayas. There's also a 7-Eleven downstairs.

Now for the negatives. First, the bed was a bit too firm for my liking. After eight nights, my back was a bit sore, and I didn't sleep well, leading to a lack of energy during the day. So, if you prefer a soft bed, you should seriously consider this. Second, the breakfast wasn't very diverse. While there were indeed many delicate small dishes, there were only six basic hot dishes, which didn't change at all over eight mornings. It became very repetitive, and I really didn't feel like eating it during the last three days. Third, the actions of a particular cleaning staff member genuinely shocked me. Usually, in my room, I don't lock my suitcase every day once it's open; I just close it lightly for easy access. For the first few days, it was fine. But on the sixth day, after I came back from sightseeing in the evening, I was surprised to find my suitcase had been turned upside down, and everything inside was in disarray (as shown in the picture). My toiletry bag was inverted, and there was some sandy substance scattered on my pants. I haven't even been to a beach, so I found it very strange where this sand came from. Clearly, a cleaning staff member came to work with an attitude and took it out on my luggage. I can only put it down to bad luck. Fourth, the hotel has its own communal bath (onsen), and this was a mixed bag. For the first few days, I genuinely enjoyed it and went daily; it was quite comfortable. However, after a few days, every time I used it, my calves would start to itch (as shown in the picture). I bought a small ointment, applied it twice, and it got better. On the last day, I didn't dare to go. I suspect the water in their bath might not have been changed or disinfected daily. 

In conclusion, for stays of 3-4 days or less, this hotel is still a good option. For stays longer than 3-4 days, I recommend looking elsewhere. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

The hotel is right next to Higashi-Ginza subway station, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. Major department stores are all nearby, so shopping is a breeze, and there are plenty of dining options, plus convenience stores for picking up breakfast for the next day. If you don't want to drag your luggage onto the crowded subway (it gets incredibly packed), you can take the airport bus to Narita, but you'll need to walk about 10 minutes to the bus stop.

The room's price definitely reflects its prime location. However, I wasn't impressed with the toiletries and hairdryer. I'm not sure if the Refa hairdryer was faulty or just designed that way, but it made an extremely harsh, high-pitched noise that left my ears ringing every time I used it. It also dried hair slowly and overheated easily, making it quite unpleasant to use. The shampoo and other bath products were also just average.

Overall, I'd still recommend staying here. The location genuinely can't be beat, and despite being on a main street, it wasn't noisy at all.

This was my first stay at Mitsui Shijo, and its location helped me discover several delicious and affordable restaurants nearby. Overall, the stay was great, but I really can't recommend the public bath. It was crowded, and none of the tubs were being filled, which made me worry about the hygiene. It would be perfect if there was a microwave next to the ice machine. I was also very happy to receive a small horse as a New Year's gift when I checked out! Plus, there's a Pokémon store on the second floor of a nearby shopping complex.

This is also a Mitsui Garden Hotel, but unlike the typical 'Japanese' style I usually associate with them, it's much more modern. The public areas are excellent, and the steam room and sauna are definite highlights! They also maintain that modern aesthetic. All the showers are stand-up. The decor and material quality in the rooms and on the guest floors are a bit subpar and overly simplistic. Because the 'base color' is so dark, it tends to show dust bunnies more easily (not necessarily dirty, but it doesn't look good) 😂. The bed, however, is comfortable, and the curtains are great at blocking out light (though it's a shame the windows don't open, I just wanted some fresh air). The TV is high-definition, but its use is limited if you're out all day. The hotel is conveniently located near a bus stop, making it easy to get to attractions like Kiyomizu-dera and Eikan-do. It's actually not far from Shijo and Kyoto Station; on a nice day, you could easily walk, but if it's cold, judge your own stamina. The Gojo subway station entrance, right outside, isn't very friendly for those with large luggage as there's no elevator. Overall, the hotel service deserves a thumbs-up. The front desk staff, both male and female, speak good English and are very friendly and proactive in offering assistance. I noticed a larger number of Western guests during my stay. Just a heads-up: room trash is only collected every two days.

The location is very convenient, and the twin room was spacious enough for one person. I'd like to thank the young lady with short hair and glasses, I believe her name was Iwamura, who was incredibly patient and helpful when I inquired about luggage delivery service. However, another young front desk lady, who wore exquisite makeup, left a poor impression on me. On my first day, I found the sofa stool in my room to be very dirty, so I wanted to see if I could switch rooms. She told me I had too many requests. All I did was select the options already provided by Trip.com, plus an additional request for no 'tomb view' room. That's it. And for a guest staying seven consecutive nights, it's perfectly normal to have some room preferences, isn't it? Regardless, I believe that's something you shouldn't say to a guest, even if you're smiling. Perhaps it was due to her limited English, leading her to use the wrong phrasing. Also, the bath on the second floor tends to get quite crowded.

Location, location, location! This hotel boasts incredible convenience, situated right next to the east wall of JR Kyoto Station, just a one-minute walk away. Unlike other Mitsui Garden Hotels, the Kyoto branch is generally smaller and doesn't have a hot spring. However, the surrounding area offers fantastic access to food, transportation, and shopping. 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Lawson, Don Quijote, Aeon, and Isetan are all within walking distance. The Osaka Airport limousine bus also departs from Kyoto Station.

Facilities: Very new.
Cleanliness: Very good.
Breakfast: Stayed for three days and had the same breakfast every single day 🤦‍♀️.
Location: Very convenient. The room has a washing machine which is super handy. Lots of places to eat and shop nearby.

This hotel boasts a quiet location, tucked away on a peaceful lane, yet it's only about a 10-minute walk to the bustling city center and many attractions, which I really appreciated. The staff were friendly and polite, and the room hygiene met standards. The hot spring was uncrowded and clean, both inside and out. The only thing that wasn't ideal was the hotel restaurant. I had dinner there once, the tempura set, and it was all tempura, which was quite greasy. The combination of dishes wasn't very healthy or refined. Other than that, I was very satisfied and would choose to stay here again on my next trip to Kyoto.

The hotel service was excellent, and the premises were spotlessly clean. Its location was also very convenient for travel. I particularly enjoyed the artificial carbonated bath, which was very clean and great for relieving travel fatigue; even the toiletries were from premium brands. This stay also included a complimentary trial size of Decorté serum, which was a lovely bonus. The hotel staff were incredibly patient and helpful with all my inquiries. Furthermore, they provide washing machines, a thoughtful convenience for travelers, and vending machines are available on almost every floor. I would definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit to Kyoto.

The public bath was smaller than those in the other hotels we’ve stayed at, but overall it was great. I found the view from the bath very relaxing. Having a sauna and a gym would make it even better.

Breakfast was tasty and offered a wide selection of different foods, mostly Asian dishes. I had high expectations for the kaisendon, but unfortunately it was just okay. I appreciated the professional attitude of the restaurant staff.

Overall, the service met the expected standards.
.

The room wasn't overly spacious; while the twin beds could be pushed together, we could barely open our 28-inch suitcase by the wall due to limited space.

Location-wise, it's fantastic for subway users, with the station entrance right outside the hotel. However, for those focused on shopping, it's somewhat inconveniently situated between Hakata and Tenjin, meaning it's not truly close to either major shopping district.

That said, breakfast was absolutely delicious! The cute little bowls used for serving food were a charming touch, and it certainly put me in a great mood to start the day.

There's a free rooftop onsen (hot spring bath) available, but remember to bring your own swimwear.

I wouldn't recommend this hotel for first-time visitors to Fukuoka. For a maiden trip, most people would prefer to be closer to Hakata for its dining, sightseeing, and easy access to day trips, or near Tenjin for serious retail therapy. This spot is much better suited for returning visitors.
