Our stay at mimaru was wonderful. The hotel is not far from various different train station lines. The check in process was seamless. The room was bigger than we anticipated. The kids loved the bunk beds. The beds were quite comfortable. We loved that there's a door separating the bedroom and the living area. The kitchen was equipped with pots and pans and various dinnerware and silverware. The hotel is game themed. There's an escape room if you have time to kill. You can also borrow various board games. There's different games throughout the hotel. Like a drink riddle game in the vending machine. There's lots of different restaurants nearby. There's also a few shopping malls nearby. It's a super convenient location. The laundry room was clean and easy to use. The gym was equipped with dumbells with various sizes, 2 benches, 2 treadmill, and a machine with various equipment and weights. Overall, we would definitely stay at this hotel again and highly recommend it.

The hotel is a fantastic place to stay for families visiting Osaka. We were travelling with two young children, and the staff were very friendly and assitive throughout the stay. The hotel has a games room with games for all ages, and a fun quest activity to find a hidden room in the hotel. Nice abd close to attractions such as Kuromon Market, Sennachimae Kitchen Street, and not too far from Dotonbori. Several train lines nearby make accessing the rest of Osaka easy. Multiple food options nearby too. The rooms were clean and well maintained.

The location is super convenient. It is only 35 mins away from KIX via airport express. There are 5 shopping malls within 5 mins walk, all the little streets around the hotel area has over hundreds of restaurants. Kuromon market is also only 5 mins away by walk if you want a different foody experience. The room itself has kitchen so we did grocery shopping in Kuromon and cooked a dinner. The boardgame theme is a bonus as we are boardgame lovers. We played at the lobby, at our room, and tried their mini escape (secret) room game. The reception has staffs that can speak multi languages. I definitely recommend this property.

The staff wasn’t as friendly as other family hotels we have been in. They charge for EVERYTHiNG. They provide no early check ins nor late check outs as part of their service. We paid for an hour early check in and paid again for a 2 hour delayed check out. The cleaning staff looked overworked and angry, and it was overall not the experience you would expect for the price we paid for 2 rooms.

Even before we arrived, they were arguing we had too many people when we only had 6 people for 1 2 bedroom room and another room that had 4 beds. I would not recommend this place.

Family of 5 with 3 young kids under 10yo. The rooms were very clean, spacious and we like that the bedroom was separated to the kitchen and lounge room. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds just like home. We enjoyed the games room and the game provided at check in. Hotel is walking distance to train station, Lawson, 7 Eleven and Dotontori. A lot of different restaurants around the hotel however it was hard to get seating so we would have it to take away and eat in our room. Staff are all super friendly and all can speak English which was helpful. Laundry room was clean and there is 6 washer and 6 dryer with cash to coin change machine. Washer has detergent included in it. Highly recommend this hotel for families and will definitely come back.

This Mimaru has a free drink station and lobby area with tables and mats. They also had a hair straightener/curler available for rent.

The rooms had ample space and was a great set up.

It was close to shops and the station as well as lots of eateries. Right in Namba and a 5 minute walk to Dotonbori.

On the second floor- they have a small gym, a water and ice dispenser, a public washroom, a laundry room that has numerous washers (100 yen per wash) and, numerous dryers ( 100 yen for 20 mins). The hotel is located within great walking distances to markets and convenient stores.

this is right in the middle of the action for Namba, and a great place if you want to be able to enjoy the safe and walkable side of the late-night dining and shopping action in the area. A bit of a long walk from the Namba JR station, but very close to the Namba square. Dining options are vitually unlimited from the front door, and more anime/cosplay shopping stores than you can shake a stick at. Very friendly/helpful staff and great overall acommodations with the dual bunk bed a plus for small kids.

Location was great and the area was buzzing with activity. Two lawsons 1-3 mins walk from the hotel. What is best was the service. Our son hurt his knee and the hotel staff went out of the way to look for a clinic for us, book a taxi to the clinic, and did follow ups after that, even leaving a note when they didn’t see us that evening. My son also badly wanted a transparent umbrella (small sized, perfect for a kid) and I asked where I can purchase it from. As soon as I returned to my room, the doorbell rang and the staff brought a kid umbrella to gift it to me. 10/10 for service really. Thank you for making our stay such a pleasant one! I’d be looking out for Mimaru the next time we visit Japan.

As a family of four with two boys under 8, this was the perfect hotel. The theme was board games, and the boys had so much fun.

The room was nice, with bunk beds for the kids and super comfortable futons.

But the most enjoyable part was the staff. They were so helpful from the time we checked in to the time we left in a taxi. They took the time to research the best Beyblade shops, an amazing breakfast cafe, and even tips on how to best experience Universal Studios. We felt cared for above expectation.

I highly recommend it for families travelling to Osaka.

Not clean and very average experience

We were really excited about our stay here. It was by no means inexpensive, but on entering the room there were a few things that I immediately did not like- 1) absolutely 0 space to store anything or even place a bag on. All the space is taken up by kids toys which is great, but thought should be given to where guests will put their luggage which ends up being all over the dining area. 2) The kitchen area is all carpeted and with the lack of frequency of cleaning, the carpet was sticky- afterall its kids that use that room and you can't expect food to not be spilled. 3) the cleaning staff is just horrible. We paid extra for daily cleaning and not only did they forget to clean on both the days, I had to tell the cleaning lady what to wipe down and the job was so poorly done. 4) the hallways also had dirt and weren't vaccumed properly. I only give 3 stars because the kids enjoyed having toys in the room, and the front desk was quite good, but in terms of cleanliness, space and the feeling of relaxation, it was very, very subpar. Prevents me from staying at a Mimaru again.
