The Mito Plaza Hotel is excellent. The hotel architecture is beautiful and particularly the interior which was designed by the great-grandson of Thomas A. Edison. The hotel is in a quiet area about 15 minutes from the Mito Traus Station by taxi. I had dinner at the Chinese restaurant which was good. There are also a Japanese and a French restaurant. Great hotel, and a good value.

Very clean room, close to restaurants and shops within a 5-min walk since it is next to the Mito Train Station. One of the best staff I’ve dealt with. The only thing I can say negatively is the breakfast it is not a traditional American breakfast and more of a Japanese style. Overall great place to stay if you are in Ibaraki Mito.

If you are staying more than 2 days get a rental car. The hotel is very good at what it does, which is provide a relaxing atmosphere with an accessible onsen. The restaurants there are not really restaurants. Breakfast is a buffet of plentiful food, mostly Japanese but I believe a pure westerner could survive. There is no lunch service. The dinner is a set menu of classical Japanese fare, which after the second day becomes a bit tiresome, but doable. They also offered a bonus meal at 9pm of...

The hotel was very nice and clean. The staff were the highlight though. Wonderful and very helpful. They seemed to really care that I came to their town. I would go out of my way to visit Mito again because of their hospitality.

Everything was great. You need to ask the staff to help with bags otherwise it is not offered. But upon asking they were helpful. There were steep stairs to my room. Carrying a bag up was hard but I didn’t want to hurt myself trying to carry them down.

It’s located at the right next to the Sawara station. Very convenient for catching trains. Sawara had many tourist interests to check out and the city’s little Edo area is worth visiting if you enjoy seeing old Japanese neighborhoods. Hotel provides comfortable, clean and friendly atmosphere. Their breakfast is tasty. I enjoyed staying at the hotel very much.
