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.
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!
Staff and service were absolutely outstanding. We stayed 2 nights/3days. Staff arranged all taxis. Large room. Great amenities include private onsen/thermal spring which was relaxing. Loved every minute. Overall OUTSTANDING service and excellent stay.
Stunning hotel mixes Japanese traditional aesthetics with modern western appeal.
Immaculate room, fantastic staff, wonderful restaurant. Surprisingly close to the subway and Nijō Castle. The bathroom, shower and spa facilities were all top notch.
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.
Loved everything, this was an absolute blissed out stay. The room, service and thermal baths were delightful. Cocktails and the tea ceremony were amazing.
This was our favorite stay during our 2 week Japan vacation.
The hotel is impeccably designed with attention to detail around every corner.
The service is amazing with genuine Japanese hospitality
We can’t wait to return to the Mitsui!
Nothing short of an elevated experience. Truly amazing property and wonderful staff. The attention to detail is outstanding. So comfortable and serene, we were only sorry to leave :)
The Hotel Mitsui Kyoto is an outstanding hotel in all respects. The hotel staff are genuinely kind and attentive to guests. The rooms are large, well designed and tastefully furnished. Our concierge was excellent and provided great service from getting reservations for dining to arranging for our luggage to be shipped to our next hotel destination in Tokyo.

The property is stunning. The staff is friendly and thoughtful. If I would have changed anything, it would be a bit more deeper massage during spa, and restaurant seemed to have some young staff who were not as polished as other experiences I have had. Otherwise stay was lovely.
Superb in all respects. Thermal springs absolutely a stand out. Service like no other. Y1900 for a coffee is a bit rich but it was excellent. Little noisy in street side rooms
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.
Blown away by this hotel. My husband and I just came from 2-night stay to start our honeymoon and loved every second from the minute we walked in. The hospitality is unreal. Even before you arrive, they are emailing you to see if you need help with reservations. I must have emailed the concierge 20 times and they always got back to me immediately and were extremely helpful. We had the garden view room that looks onto the giant gardens which was unbelievably calming and serene. The thermal spas are incredible with a rain shower feature. The showers/baths in the room are incredible. Bed coildnnot be more comfortable and room has two automatic blinds - blackout and a sheer one. Turn down service every night with included pajamas that are comfortable that we bought them ourselves. Highly recommend matcha tea ceremony and breathwork session. I only wish we had time for a spa treatment. Don’t hesitate and book!!!
