forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.61 out of 5 (2,162 reviews). Guests praise the varied, filling buffet breakfast, the walkable location near Mito Station, and the cleanliness of the rooms and shared areas; reviews also include a parent and child who stayed while traveling for a children's sports tournament. Several reviews also note that the centrally controlled air conditioning is not very effective and that room odors were noticeable, so the air conditioning may be worth checking depending on the season and the room.

Overview
Smile Hotel Mito is a business hotel about a 4-minute walk from the south exit of JR Mito Station. Rooms come in four types - single, semi-double, double and twin - and many plans have a children's rate. A microwave in the 1st-floor lobby can be used to prepare formula and sterilize baby bottles, and every room has a humidifier. There is no communal bath, onsen or playroom, so bathing is limited to the en-suite bathroom in each room.

There are four room types. The single is 12 sq m with a bed 123 cm wide for 1 guest. The semi-double is 12 sq m with a bed 123 cm wide for 2 guests and has a children's rate. The double is 14 sq m with a bed 140 cm wide for 1-2 guests and has a children's rate. The twin is 14 sq m with two beds 100 cm wide for 1-2 guests and also has a children's rate. Each room has an en-suite bathroom, and every room comes with a bidet toilet and a humidifier. Smoking rooms also have an air purifier. There is no communal bath or onsen, so bathing takes place in the en-suite bathroom in your room.
Dining
Breakfast is served in the 1st-floor breakfast venue from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. (last entry 8:45 a.m.) as a Japanese and Western buffet. Seating is limited, so the hotel will ask at check-in what time you would like to eat.
