We loved this hotel. The front desk staff was lovely and friendly. The room was perfect for four people and the kids were very comfortable on the futon beds. The shower water pressure was excellent. It was great having laundry in the room although it took a while to actually dry everything. We were walking distance to Nijo Castle and many other areas were walkable too. We would stay there again.

Clean room, had a partition so that the baby could sleep while we were up. Not a lot of big activities nearby but it was convenient to walk or take a bus to places, and don't sleep on the shopping street nearby (had no crowds and was fun to walk around). Our baby loved the crib they provided. They also have easy luggage forwarding. Would stay in Mimaru again.
