Nice clean place. Very friendly staff. Kids enjoyed the bunk beds. Our family of four fit in reasonably well, although the room did seem bigger in the pictures.

Nijo castle is very close, but for everything else we took an Uber. Location is not very central, but close enough to, say, Kamo river.

All in all, a very pleasant experience.

Loved the room layout and amenities ( kitchenette, utensils, washer/dryer, bunk beds for the kids). Location is 10 mins walking from Nijo castle and 5 mins from Sanjo market for casual evening stroll and dinner. Not that close to any station particularly but we used 'go' app for the tourist spots and so enjoyed more laid back location.

Loved this hotel, room was great, staff were lovely and would def recommend. The family room was perfect with bunks big enough for teenagers and a huge bed for us. The washer/ dryer took a while but was very useful and kitchen/ bathroom were clean and a good size

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.

Mimaru Nijo castle was a great place to stay if you’re travelling with 4 people. It has spacious room area for your luggages. Although, there’s only one shower and toilet area, which might cause slight traffic jam in the morning/evening.

It’s a bus ride away from Kyoto station, very close to Nijo castle if you ever want to visit!

Convenient with the washer/dryer combo, mircowave and fridge.

Was comfortable for our party of 5. It was about a 15 minute walk to train station for us..but it was relatively easy to walk. I would stay it centrally located on a quiet street.

We stayed for two nights at Mimaru Kyoto Nijo Castle and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The level of service we received was exceptional — staff members were consistently friendly, courteous, and always eager to assist with any questions or requests.

We booked the Japanese-style connecting rooms, which were ideal for our family. The rooms were spotlessly clean, thoughtfully designed, and surprisingly spacious, offering plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably. We especially appreciated the clever layout that provided ample storage space for our suitcases, which helped us keep the rooms tidy during our stay.

The in-room kitchen was another highlight — it was fully functional and well-equipped, allowing us to prepare light meals and snacks for our kids. Having a washer inside the room was a huge bonus, particularly for a family traveling with young children. It added so much convenience and made packing for the trip much easier, knowing we could do laundry on-site.

Overall, Mimaru Kyoto Nijo Castle provided a perfect blend of comfort, practicality, and traditional Japanese charm. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to families or anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and family-friendly hotel in Kyoto.

Great stay!

This was great for our family of 5. 2 beds plus tatami/futon mats for the 3 kids which they said were more comfortable than our beds. The dining/sitting area was where beds were setup at night. Very clean and staff were wonderful! We were able to store our luggage and go explore the area until checkin. Also offered to assist with luggage transfer if needed. Located in a great area with the most delicious ramen restaurant a couple of doors down. Would stay here again easily. Walking distance to Nijo castle and other great places.

Just a tiny bit further from the train station than I would have liked (21 weeks pregnant with a toddler, 15-20 minute walk) but we still did tons of sightseeing via train and taxi.

Excellent stay, recommend for families

Awesome aparthotel - great little apartment, incredibly well-designed and thought out, very clean. Perfect for family (of 4) with fridge-freezer, hob, kettle. Think there was an oven too but we didn’t use it. Could borrow a toaster. Friendly and helpful front desk staff - they helped us book somewhere for dinner.

Only minor issues were that it could be a little noisy at night from traffic on the main road (we were 5th floor) and the washer-dryer did a great job at washing and a truly awful job at drying! Washing was left damp and smelly at the end of drying cycle (not overloaded at all). Re-washed and hung to dry instead and that worked well with the bathroom extractor on (I borrowed an extra airer). So convenient to have your own washer though. Would stay again and recommend. Location was excellent for exploring and eating out - we walked lots of places - nearest underground was maybe 10-15 mins walk.

Great little property in Kyoto. It was able to fit our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teenagers) relatively comfortably. There is additional bedding provided that can make 2 more beds on the ground if needed. The location is convenient to a couple of nearby (less than 5 minute walk) bus stations. We took an uber to the bamboo forest and it was a little over 20 minutes. There is a ridiculously cute breakfast place across the street, but be prepared to wait a long time. Right next to the hotel is another coffee house that serves basic breakfast, and their coffee is all pour-over and takes a long time to make, so don't expect a quick in-and-out for breakfast. Overall, I was pleased with the location, and I would definitely stay again.

Amazing hotel in Kyoto

The Mimaru Kyoto Nijo Castle is an excellent hotel. It's in a very convenient location in Kyoto. Very close to multiple subway stations. The hotel is very modern with everything you need to make your stay amazing such as microwave, stove, fridge, washer and dryer, etc as well as all the high tech Japanese controls.
But what made the stay even more forgettable was the front desk staff. Very accommodating and their hospitality went above and beyond. From check in, to assisting us with luggage transfer to the check out. They were amazing. Thank you so much.

The room was clean pleasant, if just a bit tight for 5 people. Two of the kids liked the experience of sleeping on the tatami mats. Having the laundry machine in our unit was a life saver. The only feedback for the hotel is that the toilet gave off a strange smell the entire stay. I think it was because the tank needed to be cleaned.

A special shout-out goes to Lin, who truly went the extra mile to help me track down a hard-to-find shopping item! My vacations in Japan left me with unforgettable memories. We originally booked a traditional Japanese-style room at this hotel for seven nights but loved it so much that we decided to extend our stay by three more nights. The staff here not only speaks English but are also exceptionally friendly. It’s also convenient to explore nearby Kyoto, Nara, Uji, Otsu, and Osaka from this location.

As a family of 5, our overall stay at Mimaru Kyoto was great. The location was walkable to many areas we wanted to look at during our stay which was convenient and close to bus stops for the sightseeing that was a little further away. The combined washer/dryer in the room was a godsend, I would put it on most nights when we went to bed and wake up to clean dry clothes.

The staff were very friendly, accommodating and helpful in their local knowledge.

My only negative feedback would be that the beds are very very firm which was uncomfortable for me, there was alot of dust in the room, particularly around the bed head, window and bed base and there was no broom or vacuum etc to clean the floor when our kids spilt food.

However, overall we really enjoyed our stay at the Mimaru Kyoto.

Great hospitality and staff are always willing to help, despite language barrier. They do speak basic English. Very personal since it’s a one way entry and you’d have to pass front desk as you’re leaving and entering. Feels homey.. washer as dryer in unit was extremely convenient and useful, however, do plan ahead. It holds a very small load, extremely small, and takes hours to complete a super small load.. we made it work. Pretty close to Nishiki market and super close to Nijo castle.

Our favorite hotel

This hotel was so clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and wished we stayed at different mimaru in Japan. Zun at the front desk is truly amazing. He went above and beyond to make our trip to Kyoto memorable. It was my sons and my nieces bday week and surprised them with candy and a card. Also, we almost missed our Shinkansen to tokyo but Zun order is a taxi and told the driver exactly where we should be dropped of at the train station. Just wow. We ended up being 10 mins early and was able to grab some snacks for our ride. Chefs kiss!
