Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shinmachi Bettei

Good and peaceful neighborhood with preserved historical buildings nearby. Conveniently located, 6-minute walk from Airport limousine bus stop and 8-minute walk to train station for 40-minute train to Umeda Osaka. Room is a bit small for opening up my 30 inch baggage. Took a bit of time to locate the inroom safe.

The hotel was very nice with good location, clean and quiet. Our room however was not ideal. We booked a room with 3 beds which I would not recommend. The beds were jammed into a very small room with no where to move. If you book a room with 1 or 2 beds it would probably be fine.

Booked one night here as we travel from Osaka to Kyoto for a short stay. The hotel was very nice that they decide to send us reminder email since we still have not arrived at the hotel by 8-ish pm at night. The check-in was very smooth. The room was exactly the same as the photo and one great thing was that they have air purifier machine in the room!! This is one great plus point since I have nose allergy and this machine soothed me a lot. We went to the hotspring inside the hotel building as well. Perhaps the time was the rush hour (around 9ish - 10ish) and its slightly crowded that have to wait for the "shower cubicle" before going in the hotspring. The hotspring area was clean and comfortable too. Had the hotel restaurant breakfast buffet the next day and its the second great point! The buffet had a bit of japanese traditional style breakfast choices which can give guests a taste of the authentic jap cuisines to try out. Last but not least, when we are about to check out, rain was pouring heavily but with the help of one of the staff there, we managed to leave on time and successfully! Thank you so much!

Beautiful hotel! Easily accessible. Friendly kind staff. So many amenities!

Definitely recommend when going to Kyoto!
