Breakfast was very good with tasty food and a good variety. We particularly liked that black tea was available in the room. Hotel location was excellent - about 3 min walk from the station. Staff were friendly and efficient with very good service. The room was very clean and comfortable. Okayama garden and castle is just a short tram ride away. The tram is very close to the hotel. Kurashiki historical district is also just a 20 min train ride away. Overall, Mitsui Garden Hotel is definitely recommended for a stay in Okayama. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our visit to Okayama.

Nothing to dislike. The price was reasonable and we liked our stay at Mitsui Garden Hotel Okayama.

The location is very close to the main train station and other downtown amenities - quite convenient. The room was nice, but I felt it could have been updated a bit more, based on what I paid. The breakfast was very good, but was not included in the price I paid, which I felt was quite a bit, so I feel that breakfast should have been included with my package.

My only real issue was with the price. I had to book suddenly, out of the blue, and was very appreciative that their property would still take a reservation after midnight. But I paid over Y20,000 for a decent room, but it did not include breakfast. Overall my stay was good, just felt it was a bit expensive for what I received

Chosen for proximity to rail station, maybe 3 minutes walk, behind Granvia Hotel. And another very helpful tourist information office, also at the station. A first class 4 star hotel with good public spaces and comfortable, modern rooms. Hardly any interaction with staff who seemed friendly enough and were on hand but transactions mostly digital/electronic. Didn't attempt breakfast in austere room off lobby but complimentary coffee and refreshments available from 1 pm but not during morning. The other great advantage was the Aeon Mall immediately behind the hotel where we ate twice (excellent range of inexpensive restaurants). Couldn't find other restaurants although plenty of Japanese eateries in nearby streets. Aeon Mall had massive Hands store (formerly Tokyu Hands) and UniGlo with prices roughly half of UK prices in some cases. Shopped up a storm consequently. Station also had impressive range of restaurants and we enjoyed a tempura meal there one evening. We appreciated the free lounge gear provided by most Japanese hotels and the spa facility was tempting but our time too short. As well as a day out in charming Kurashiki (30 minutes by train), we walked to the famous Ujo/Crow Castle, with splendid cherry blossom and by the river. Discovered Schlossgasse Mozart on the way back with delicious cakes beautifully presented and boxed for take-away. Only in Japan. Third day we took train to Takamatsu, thereby adding the island of Shikoku to our collection. It's former castle proved a most tranquil setting with great history. The several kilometer-long bridge from the mainland was apparently built in 10 years between the 1980's and 1990's and was worth the journey alone. Spectacular.

Convenient location near Okayama Station behind Hotel Granvia. Donki, Aeon Mall and a few shopping malls within 5 minute walking distance. Very polite front counter staff who greeted us with a bow every time. accommodated luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. Warm public bath at L10 was clean and comfortable. Cleaning lady cleaned diligently and regularly. I used the warm bath every night throughout 4-night stay. 2 massage armchairs free to use. My room is 3 single beds with good space for 3 big luggages. Room and bathroom were impeccably clean. Housekeeping done daily. Comfortable bed and blanket. Free toiletries pick up at lobby. Quiet and safe environment. Highly recommended.

Everything was excellent at Mitsui Garden.

Close to Okayama station and just opposite the big Aeon Mall. The staff are professional and helpful. We left a phone charger in the room. We contacted them through booking.com and they replied quickly. It was shipped back to us after a week through a company that handles lost items, at a reasonable cost. Also, one of our room has view to the Shinkansen tracks which was fun to watch (windows are well soundproofed though you barely notice that if it's shut). It was handy to have an iron and ironing board in the room.

Room is a bit small but that's what you'd expect from a centrally located hotel in Japan. We have two large suitcases and one had to be slightly in the way of passage, but it's a minor issue.

Although not sumptuous, the room was clean and comfortable, at about 200 square meters. The breakfast buffet is just fantastic, with a wide selection of wonderful Japanese dishes, fresh fruits, and a few western items. But the staff... the staff! They could not have been more friendly or helpful. We got caught in the typhoon and, after we checked out, the staff was kind enough to check us right back in, quickly, and cordially. It's an easy, quick walk from Okayama station and... I'd love to come back!

We used APA several times in many cities, and Okayama was one of the few that was actually "ekimae", so plus there. The hotel was nice, clean, and comfortable like the chain standard, with easy access to train, buses, and taxi. And, good restaurants, food stores, and cafes surround this hotel. Breakfast was good. The staff was very nice.

No real complaints, but it is a small room by western standards, just prepare yourself.

This was one of our favourite places to stay on our trip in Japan, The staff were very friendly at the desk and helped me find someone local to fix my son's back. The rooms were lovely and comfortable. The location was very good. The staff at breakfast were very nice and happy and welcoming. The breakfast was a large choice. We were sad to leave because we found this such a relaxing place and I would definitely come back here. There seemed to be a lot of happiness and care at this hotel - people seemed to be happy working there. Really recommend people to come here.

Next to the train station, so very convenient as there are restaurants and supermarkets nearby, plus a big shopping mall - easy to plan visiting all the region by train Breakfast might seem expensive, but it's really worth the price (if you can have a good deal) - nice, tasty and various choices, both japanese (mainly) and western (fewer) style. Staff was professional, helpful and welcoming

I loved everything about this hotel. The location is amazing, near the station. There is a wonderful mall with a great food court across the road. The staff was amazing, very friendly and helpful. The public bath is fantastic, breakfast has an amazing selection. The room was quiet big and beds were super comfortable. We absolutely loved it! Best choice for Okayama.
