Perfect for families. Very toddler-friendly and the whole apartment/building was clean and well-designed. We especially loved having the in-unit laundry especially before heading out to our next destination!
Fantastic hotel, especially for families traveling through Kyoto for a few days or more. Beyond amazing staff that helped us find truly amazing and non tourist restaurants and locations to visit. Fantastic experience.
Laundry in room, excellent location and access. Afternoon Sake and Beer plus morning coffee, tea, lattes and hot chocolate was a wonderful perk. Our favorite stay over 2 weeks in Japan

Amazing place to stay very spacious, clean. Tidy and well appointed, staff were excellent, location is good, price per night is very reasonable. I've saved this place in my favourites for the next time we visit
Clean and spacious rooms with everything you need. Close to shops, 7 Eleven and plenty of restaurants and bakeries nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!
Room was great for our family of five and within close walking distance to Nishiki market but also far enough away that it was very quiet.. We explored the market early one morning which was great. Host at the front desk made a great recommendation for a tonkatsu which we loved so much we visited twice during our stay!!

Staff was so friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious! Exactly as described
The staff at this hotel were 100% amazing. They all went above and beyond for me. The room was more than comfortable for 6 people. It is a little bit more than I wanted to pay but it was great. Highly recommend.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. It’s perfectly situated, away from the crowds but still close to the main shopping area and trains. You can also find a mixture of local and touristy restaurants. The staff is very kind and helpful and speak perfect English. I think this is now my favorite hotel in Kyoto.

Fantastic hotel and 2 bed suite was amazing. We wish we’d booked longer. The happy hour was exactly what we needed, too! The free sake tasting and craft beer was so nice. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Mimaru has a great set up and we’ll definitely use it again when we return to Japan.
