Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji Hotels in Kyoto

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji

"Read before tou book. As seasoned and well-traveled guests, we rarely leave negative reviews, but this stay fell notably below expectations for a hotel of this category. The service, particularly in the kitchen, lacked both flexibility and hospitality. A very simple request—to add tomato and cheese to an omelette—was declined without even consulting the chef. This level of rigidity is surprising and not aligned with international hospitality standards. Equally disappointing was the decision to charge 30 yen for a basic photocopy. While the amount is negligible, the principle reflects a concerning lack of guest-oriented thinking at this price level. The breakfast offering was underwhelming, with limited variety and insufficient quantity—far from what one would expect from a hotel positioned in this segment. We would strongly caution against booking the Japanese-style rooms. They are exceptionally compact; once we opened two large and two small suitcases, the space became virtually unusable. Although the location is undeniably excellent, the overall experience does not justify the rate. There are far better alternatives in the same price range, particularly for travelers who value service quality and attention to detail."

"Traveling from Osaka to Kyoto, we opted for the Westin again. The room in Kyoto felt a bit smaller, but the interior decor was more modern. The hotel offers a walking trail, which was very pleasant to stroll along. The hotel shuttle service was also very convenient, and the lobby staff and drivers were all incredibly friendly and polite."

"It was a wonderful stay! I was able to stay at Hoshinoya Kyoto, which was my dream, and my mother was also happy. We took a boat to the inn and were greeted by the staff. The hojicha I drank with dinner was very delicious. I was able to spend a relaxing time surrounded by nature. I could see the trolley from my room, and the view unique to Kyoto was very relaxing. The food was delicious, the staff was polite, and everyone had a smile on their face. I am satisfied that I had a wonderful time during my stay. thank you very much."
