What guests think

Travellers describe Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Kawaramachi Jokyoji as a centrally located, quiet-in-the-alley base near Nishiki Market, Gion and transport, praised for its calm Japanese design and public bath that feels great after a day out.

Staff are widely described as kind and helpful, though English ability and service warmth vary, and several guests appreciated luggage assistance and problem solving. Rooms are modern but generally small with limited storage; mattresses lean firm, some sinks sit outside the bathroom, a few rooms lack views, and climate control or Wi‑Fi can be inconsistent. Facilities are focused rather than extensive—there’s no on-site laundry or gym—and breakfast ranges from excellent and memorable to average or pricey depending on expectations. Expect a stylish stay with a distinctly Japanese feel.

The breakfast is ¥3300/person and is quite good. The biggest plus of this hotel is its location. It's literally within walking distance to everything. The interior design is exquisite. The room is a bit on the small side but adequate. The Japanese bath is open all night until 10 am. The one small minus is that the cleaning staff often forgot to refill the coffee packets. I had to call the front desk 3 days for delivery after finding no coffee in the room. BTW, the hotel information sheet in the room doesn't explain how to call the front. I had to inquire in person to find out that it's pressing #.

Bear in mind though that the hotel doesn’t have onsite laundry facilities or a gym and the absence of a bar / area to hang out in is a bit of a missed opportunity but there are plenty of bars and independent gyms nearby

Had an excellent time at this hotel! Spent 4 nights here and it was very close to all sorts of shopping and food options. Transportation was easily accessible and was very close to the Gion district as well. The staff was lovely and very accommodating, our room’s shower was absolutely incredible, and the onsen was fantastic. Our room wasn’t as clean as we would have liked (lots of dust caked around doorframes and on floor around bed), and the mattress was VERY stiff which others may or may not like depending on preference. Overall though, very happy we stayed here!

Wonderful location very close to transportation, shopping, many restaurants, but also on tucked on a quiet street. Direct trains to Osaka and convenient access to Nara, as well as buses to many attractions nearby, Public bath is a nice add-on to relax after a day of sightseeing. Staff is super-nice and helpful. The room is on a small side but comfortable with all amenities. It has, however, virtually no storage. Just a few hangers, no shelves, no drawers. Overall it's still very nice hotel given the location, convenience, and wonderful staff

Nice hotel in Kyoto, right in the center of Kawaramachi, Nishiki market right across street and a lot of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The hotel is in an alley so it is quiet and very convenient. The staffs are friendly and helpful, room is clean with nice decor. The hotel has a public bath, great place to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The room has tinted window, it doesn’t open and you cannot see outside, we were out all day, so not a big concern for us.

The hotel is in a very convenient location with great access to buses and subway. For those who like to walk, it’s about a 20 min walk to Gion. Right by some big department stores and popular dining/shopping area. Yet the hotel is on a quiet street so it was perfect. I only booked room and not breakfast so cannot comment on the food. The rooms were spacious and clean. I especially liked the separation of the sink, toilet and shower area— makes it easier to share the room. Provided amenities were great.

This is a good hotel. However, there was one big issue. The air conditioning did not go below 20C/68F. I dont know why hotels are doing this. They think they are saving money but the only thing I look at when looking at reviews is whether the AC is good. I had a horrible night sleep because it was just too hot. I would not have stayed here again, sadly. Everything else was great, but that one thing is a no for me.

We stayed in Japan for two weeks, and this was by far the best hotel of our trip. The staff went above and beyond. They exceeded every expectation we had. From the warm welcome at check-in to the thoughtful tips about luggage transfers, every interaction felt genuine and caring. I wish we had caught the name of the staff member who checked us in. She was incredibly friendly, patient, and made us feel right at home. Another thoughtful touch was the complimentary bottled water available at the front desk upon request. This is something no other hotel we stayed at offered. On top of that, the front desk staff consistently greeted us with warm smiles every time we returned to the property. It truly reflected the best customer service we experienced in Japan. The onsen was another highlight of this property. It is tattoo-friendly, spotless, and serene. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day of exploring. You can even check how busy it is right from your hotel TV. To top it all off, the hotel’s location couldn’t be better. It is just minutes from Kawaramachi Square where you're surrounded by endless shopping and dining options. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Kyoto.

We had an excellent stay at Mitsui Garden Hotel Kawaramachi.The room was clean and comfortable, the hotel was in a great location, the breakfast was delicious, but above all the staff were excellent. They gave us great tips on where to eat. such as the puffy pancake restaurant and an excellent sushi restaurant. But the really amazing thing is they helped my sister-in-law recover her phone, which she had left at a train station near Tokyo. It was amazing the effort they went to. I can't imagine this happening in another country. Japan is truly a beautiful place, the landscape, the pristine mountain villages and super clean cities, the trains, the food, the culture. But the helpfulness and kindness of the people is what is really impressive. Shoutout to Kana Kimoto especially for helping us out.

The most amazing staff from check in to after we left! The hotel beautifully tucked into the city and from inside the quiet peaceful atmosphere you would never know there is a bustling city outside. The rooms were nice and hotel had an onsen (public bath) which was so nice to enjoy after a long day. The hotel is in a convenient location walkable to the busy areas of Kyoto where you can get food, go shopping and walkable to the Higashiyama district is about a mile away. We were able to have them store our luggage at check out so we would have more time to explore. They also called a taxi for us when needed to take us back to train station which is about 15 min away. Most importantly when we left someone on our party forgot their cell phone in the taxi cab. We did not have the taxi cab information and called the hotel to help us contact the taxi company. They assisted us and called the taxi cab letting them know. The hotel staff helped us and the taxi cab driver came back to Same spot of drop off and brought us cell phone. We will definitely stay at this hotel and its other properties again! Thank you to the most amazing staff!!

일본 여행 중 이용한 호텔 중 최고였습니다. 무엇보다 위치가 정말 완벽했습니다! 가와라마치중심에 있어서 버스, 지하철을 이용해서 교토 어디로든 이동하기가 편했습니다. 가모강과 기야초 카페거리를 걸어서 갈 수 있어서 저녁에 맥주한잔 하고 느긋하게 호텔로 걸어올 수 있었어요. 사람 많은 가와라마치 거리 한복판에서 50미터 정도만 안으로 들어와 있는데도 무척 조용했습니다. 방의 크기도 도쿄에 비하면 훨씬 넓었습니다. 작지만 대욕장이 있어서 피로를 풀기에도 좋았고 침대와 침구류도 좋았습니다. 직원분들은 영어소통이 원만하지 않은 분들도 있으셨지만 친절하셨습니다. 특히 Rika Naito상이 여러 부탁에도 친절하게 도와주셨습니다. 감사합니다! 주변에 추천도 했고 다음번에도 머물고 싶은 호텔입니다. 참고로 짐이 많으시다면 간사이공항까지 공항리무진버스를 이용하시는 것을 추천합니다. 짐 들고 많이 안걸어도 되어서요. 리무진버스는 교토역근처의 호텔게이한교토그랑데 1층과 통해 있는 공항리무진버스 사무실?에서 예약&타실 수 있습니다. 이 정보를 찾는데 미츠이가든호텔 프론트에서는 잘 모르시더라구요. 도움되었으면 합니다.

The hotel is pretty (great lobby) and rooms are relatively nice. In addition, it couldn’t be more centrally located. Downside is the beds are hard on the back and incredibly uncomfortable. Also, the western breakfast which I bought in advance was downright awful. Someone needs to teach the chef the basics of screamed eggs and sausage. So we canceled breakfast after the first day, which was wise because there are plenty of options nearby but remember nothing opens until 10AM.
