"So many restaurants and big supermarket close by. Staff was friendly. Clean hotel. The bathroom wasn't great since the door was glass but they had a curtain type thing to put as a cover. Big onsens on top floor was an added bonus! "

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shinmachi Bettei
5/5 Excellent
"I’ve stayed 2 nights with my parents, for one room and my wife and me, for another. My parents are in their 80s. Very traditional Japanese. I was a bit concerned a modern style (western bedding for example) and considered a Ryokan first. But they enjoyed the most!! Anyway I definitely hope to come back this hotel again. The location is excellent, you can enjoy both touristic and merge into the real local people’s life. One top of that, the hotel staff is super friendly and kind. I bet this is the hotel for your next Kyoto experience. Thank you!! "

情緒たっぷりな京都旅行になりました
"評判通りご飯がとても美味しいホテルでした。内装はお洒落でロビーに漂うお香が旅の雰囲気をかき立てます。室内は剥き出しの洗面台にシャワーのみと独創的なデザインだけど、2階に下りれば身体を伸ばして浸かれる大浴場があるのは嬉しいですね。部屋のテレビからは大浴場の混雑状況を確認できます。WiFiはもちろん、部屋には複数の電源とUSB給電ポートが設置されており各種機器の充電もバッチリ。時勢的にお隣のお寺での朝のお勤め体験は休止中でしたが、本堂の見学はできました。立地的に四条や祇園に歩いて行けて、京都東側の観光が捗ります。自動チェックイン機でのチェックイン・アウトは賛否が分かれそうだけど、到着から出発までのサービスは行き届いていてとても快適でした。"
