Top Okayama Hotel Reviews

Mitsui Garden Hotel Okayama

Mitsui Garden Hotel Okayama

8/10 Good
"This is a bit of a conflicted review because there was lots to love about this hotel. The staff were fantastic. They bent over backwards to help us. Breakfast was so good. Lots of options. And in the dining area you can get tea, coffee etc all day. Location good- right across from a massive mall with two floors (6 and 7) that had restaurants - and these are not like the food places you find in malls in Canada. This was extremely good food. And then you can go shopping after dinner! Amenities in the room were good. Cell phone charger, good shower, replenished water. So the issue was the tiny room. I know hotel rooms in Japan are small but this was sooo small. If it was for two people - no way. I could barely manage around my small suitcase. But the biggest issue was that I couldnโ€™t open my curtains. My window looked onto another big wall with windows. I could barely see the sky- only of if I craned my neck a lot to see one tiny bit of blue. So the room was super dark. I would wake up in the morning and think it was the middle of the night. If you are going to stay here see if you can get a room that doesnโ€™t look onto another wall. It felt very confining."
