Our stay at Mimaru Kyoto exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome.

A special thank you to Sae at the front desk, who went above and beyond throughout our stay. She was attentive, thoughtful, and always happy to help, whether it was finding the perfect restaurant recommendations or helping us make sure we could watch a FIFA match. Her kindness and genuine care made a great stay even more memorable.

The apartment was spacious, immaculate, and exceptionally well equipped. Having an in-room washer and dryer was such a convenience, especially while travelling as a family. It truly felt like a home away from home.

We also really enjoyed the complimentary happy hour in the lobby, which was a lovely touch and a great way to unwind after a day of exploring.

The location is excellent, with easy access to transit and many of Kyoto’s highlights. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely return on our next visit to Kyoto. Highly recommended!

This was outstanding customer service. From the moment we were greeted, we felt well cared for. Games for the kiddos, happy hour with sake and beer, tables for a morning coffee. The rooms were excellent and very spacious for our family of four. Highly recommend the location as well. A quick walk to with lots to do in the area:)

Spacious, clean hotel located in an excellent part of Kyoto. It was close to several transit options and within walking distance to major shopping areas and Nishiki Market. Highly recommend and will return again to the Mimaru Shijo.

Staff was very friendly which made checking in very smooth. Our room was super spacious for our family of four, but more importantly very clean. Location was excellent! 7 Eleven was right around the corner and Lawsons on the next block which made those egg sandwich, onigiri, pancakes, beverages, and coffee runs super quick. Lots of great eats and a pub nearby. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone visiting the Kyoto area.

The mattresses are a bit old and somewhat uncomfortable. The front desk accommodated with extra pillows to help. Everything in the room was very minimal, but quite adequate. Note that the carpets are very thin and do have some stains. Laundry in-suite was great! It takes about 3.5 hrs to wash and dry a small load.

Our family of four loved having a two bedroom and two bathroom suite. With a washing machine/dryer in our room also! The hotel was quiet and the staff were helpful. The early evening happy hours with draft beer and sakes were a nice touch to come back to after a heavy day of sightseeing. Would definitely recommend!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful, and this property exceeded our expectations in every way. The layout was perfect for our group, with two separate bedrooms that provided plenty of privacy and two bathrooms that made getting ready and coming and going incredibly convenient. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the living room offered a warm, inviting space where we could relax, visit, and enjoy each other’s company.

What truly set this property apart, however, was the outstanding level of hospitality. During our stay, we experienced a minor issue with the key card lock when the batteries in the door lock unexpectedly died. It took a couple of attempts to diagnose the problem, but it was ultimately resolved and did not significantly impact our visit.

At checkout, we were deeply touched to receive a handwritten note apologizing for the inconvenience and thanking us for choosing to stay there. That personal gesture spoke volumes about how much the staff genuinely care about their guests. In a world where customer service is often impersonal, this thoughtful act left a lasting impression.

Because of the comfortable accommodations and the exceptional care shown by the staff, I can confidently say I have found my place to stay in Kyoto. The next time I’m in the city—and every time after that—this will be my first choice.

This was an excellent hotel in a wonderful location. The only reason it got 4 stars is because the washer dryer combo would only wash and would not dry. We had picked the hotel with the expectation of doing laundry after our stay in Tokyo and we ended up being able to wash but not dry any of the clothes we had and had to hang them up all over the room to try to dry them. Otherwise, perfection. Lots of space for 5 adults, lovely coffee and sake/beer happy hour complimentary to guests (we don’t drink but it is a nice touch for those who might). Pristine on cleanliness.

First of all, Mimaru staff is excellent and they require staff to pass both a Japanese and English proficiency test, which can be very helpful depending on what language you need to communicate in. Staff is friendly and helpful. The Kyoto location is very nice, in a quiet location, and is around the corner from an excellent Izakaya. And of course there’s a 7-11, Lawson and family Mart nearby. The lobby hosts a terrific coffee machine all day, and sake at happy hour. Our spacious room had two bedrooms and baths, and was extremely comfortable. Note this is more western style in that there is no in-room amenities bar, no onsen, or buffet/restaurant/breakfast on site. That said, depending on what you need, it is absolutely terrific, we enjoyed our stay in comfort. Laundry in room for convenience.

MIMARU SHIJO was the best hotel we stayed at on our 3 weeks trip in Japan. Very convenient area to get around. Lots of restaurants and shopping close by. The two bedroom suite was perfect suite for my family so everyone could have their own space. In suite laundry was fantastic. The staff was extremely helpful and the MIMARU luggage delivery was the best service we experienced out of all hotels we stayed at.

A true home away from home in Kyoto

Our family (parents, 2 teenage boys and adult niece) spent 3 nights here in August 2025. It was our third hotel during our trip and by far our favorite! The 3 separate bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spacious living room and washing machine were perfect for us. It allowed us additional privacy and less wait for showers after long days touring in the hot sun. The location made it easy to walk to shopping and restaurants, especially our twice daily convenience store visits. The staff and service are amazing with so many included perks like coffee, cold water, sake and beer. Staff is fluent in English which is very convenient for foreigners

I stayed in the 3-bedroom suite, which has just 2 bathrooms. The bedroom with the ensuite has no windows, and only one bedroom has windows, making it feel a bit claustrophobic. There’s no basket on the wall, but the room did include the hat. The walls are very thin, so you hear everything from neighboring rooms, and a dog across the street barks constantly. The beds are comfortable, and the cleaning service is excellent. The in-room booklet clearly explains how to use the amenities and lists local attractions. If I stay again, I’d look for a suite with an ensuite bathroom and a window. The staff is great, and the lobby has convenient self-serve amenities.

The room itself was nice and spacious. The housekeeping was poor I’d say. They have a schedule of when they do bedsheets vs. bathrooms etc. but it seemed sporadic and they don’t tidy anything ever. It was very nice they had a washer dryer combo in the unit. Pretty good value I’d say generally for a family. As far as staff and service I’d say they are almost all incompetent. With the exception of a gentleman named Seth and his colleague Daniel, everyone else had no clue what they were talking about. I asked to have a taxi in the morning waiting, the next morning the woman at the counter struggled with an iPad for 5 minutes until I finally gave up and booked an uber. I asked another woman at the front desk if I could get a stamp to mail my postcard. She told me to visit Lawson’s only to find out they don’t sell stamps so I had to talk 20 minutes to the post office. It seemed that every time I needed something or had a question I was given incorrect or incomplete information. Don’t stay here if you expect even mediocre customer service. Do stay here if you are totally self sufficient, need a lot of space, and are traveling with little ones. Overall average.
