After our shoebox adventure in Hiroshima, this apartment felt like a slice of paradise! It was so spacious and clean, definitely a dream come true for a family of four. The two toilets? Absolute lifesavers! We stayed for two nights and then we ventured into the Pokémon-themed room for a night of fun. Let me tell you, that main room was almost double the size of the Pokémon room, which was a delightful surprise. Honestly, I wouldn’t fault a single thing about our stay. It was just perfect! Thanks Mimaru!

If you’re looking for a fun-filled adventure for your little Pokémon trainer, look no further! We recently stayed at a Pokémon-themed haven that was simply a dream come true. Imagine our wide-eyed son’s reaction as he walked into a room absolutely plastered with Pokémon décor, featuring a gigantic Snorlax on the bed! His excitement was through the roof, and honestly, mine too!

Every corner of the space was alive with Pokémon magic, including a bathroom that carried the theme beautifully. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a one-of-a-kind Mimaru Pokémon pack, adding an extra layer of whimsy to our stay. Even the plates and mugs were designed to look like Poké Balls, talk about ‘Gotta Catch Them All’ vibes!

The only minor downside was that we could hear the traffic noise quite a bit, but that didn’t dampen our spirits. If you’re a Pokémon fan, this spot is absolutely perfect for your family. Just a heads up, it’s best suited for a family of four. Overall, our stay was filled with laughter and joy, making it a memorable experience for Pokémon enthusiasts! On Christmas Day!

We stayed here for two nights as a family and found it to be a clean and comfortable hotel in a convenient location. It’s about a 30-minute walk to Kyoto Station, and most major attractions are easily reachable by foot or a short train ride. The room size was great for a family, and everything was spotless. The staff were polite and professional.

One small challenge we experienced was on the day of checkout. We asked to store our luggage a bit longer so we could explore the city before leaving, but the hotel wasn’t able to accommodate this beyond 1 PM due to an incoming group. While I understand space can be limited, it did make things a bit less convenient for us.

Overall, it’s a clean, comfortable, and well-located hotel — a good option for families visiting Kyoto.

The 2 toilets also made it really private and convenient. We ate at the restaurants around the hotel. The staff were extremely helpful with all of our questions.

Yet another amazing stay at Mimaru for us! We’ve always used this chain of apartment hotel every time we go to Japan as they’ve all been excellent to stay and this Kyoto was no different!
The property is more like a hotel but still has kitchen and dining table for the family room we stayed which was nice.
Area around is super quiet and supermarket right next door at 30 seconds walk!
Relatively close to Kyoto station to walk but bus and uber is quicker.

Close to main shopping street also which makes this property a highly recommended to stay!

A good hotel in a good location. Bunk beds for kids and a second bathroom make it easy for a family. Easy walk to heart of city and lots of food option nearby including a 7-11 and Fresco 24hr grocery store.

Kids loved it.

Was a bit inconvenient not having basic necessities in the room such as coffee. As a coffee drinker it’s annoying to have to walk to reception just for some instant coffee first thing in the morning.

Would have given the hotel 5* but they gave us inaccurate advice for train and bus tickets. We told them where we wanted to go and they sold us day passes for 1,100 yen (4,400 for 3 adults and 2 kids). When we got to the train station we found out the tickets they sold us weren’t for that train, we then had to pay cash for that train and other trains for the rest of the day. When we spoke to the hotel about it, their answer was “sorry, you should have read the fine print”. Given we bought the tickets on their advice, the right thing to do would have been to offer a refund or some sort of compensation for this. Lesson learned, do your own research, don’t trust advice from reception.

The rooms were modern, spacious, and well equipped for a long stay or large groups. The hotel was very kid friendly, had onsite currency exchange machine, multilingual staff, and tons of local recommendations. It was my favorite lodging of the five I stayed at during my two week trip.

I did have an issue with a hotel policy regarding room occupancy: I had 8 people in my party, booked two rooms with a total of 10 beds, but was not allowed to divide up the rooms upon arrival differently from my original booking without paying an additional fee of nearly $160. So we ended up with 2 people in one room with two empty beds and 6 people in another room filling all the beds. They said the policy was communicated and the issue may have been with Expedia. Either way, it was very frustrating but not a deal breaker. Just read the fine print and contact the hotel if booking through a 3rd party.

We had a pretty comfortable week long stay at this location. The room was very clean and very spacious. The staff was wonderfully helpful and friendly and are multilingual. I was pleasantly surprised that they offered routine room service - at least in my experience back home apartment style lodging doesn't typically include room service, but only towel replacements. Although, there was one day we did put up the Do Not Disturb sign and we came back to fully made beds and replaced linens, which was fine I guess. The beds were more firm for my liking and the pillows easily flattened, which I find with nearly every hotel which is why I travel why my own supportive pillow. The dryers don't completely dry a full load, so they may need an extra cycle to get the job done. The family below us were a bit noisy for 3 nights as we heard their kids running and jumping around their room late at night. The hotel itself isn't exactly close to the \"hub\" of shopping and dining, but is walkable to those locations if you don't mind a 10-15 min walk. But the 24hr Fresco Mart nearby is super convenient, especially if you plan on being an early morning bird for your excursions. Overall, I would honestly stay here again and I definitely recommend this place, especially for families or groups.

Fantastic apartment-style room. We (2 adults, 2 kids - 8&10) had lots of space. The kitchenette allowed us to make our own beeakfast most days. The hotel had small appliances that we could borrow such as toaster and rice cooker. Laundry on site was quick and efficient. We could not have asked for a better hotel.

The location was not ideal in that it was not very close to much of the shopping areas (eg. Nishiki market is about a 15-20 min walk). There is a grocery store across the street as well as a 7-11.

The subway to Kyoto station was a 10 min walk.

We booked a family room to accommodate three adults, two small kids, and a toddler. It was cozzy and confortable though we could have used a bit more space.

Having a kitchenette to cook breakfast and snacks was very convenient considering that there is a Fresco grocery store is around the corner.

They could use a few extra washing and drier machines since over the weekend they get very crowded.

They had a fun treasure hunt activity for the kids with a nice price at the end, motivating visiting the main spots in Kyoto.

Our family's favorite hotel in Japan!

A family of five spending two weeks in Japan staying in five different hotels, and this one was the best! The staff were all very professional, courteous, extremely helpful, and spoke good English. On more than a few occasions expectations were exceeded. Very happy with this choice.

It is kind of a shared space condo with a laundry room (the machines are not very well cleaned and the dryer needs an upgrade) . We lived there for four nights, and got no room cleaning at all, only change of towels and that is basically it. Unfortunately I can’t recommend it as a value for money choice.

This was an excellent property to stay for a family of 5. The staff was friendly and helpful (especially with arranging a couple of taxi's to the correct drop off area at the JR line). We would definitely stay here again. The room was very clean and had a lot of space.

Perfect hotel for families

Mimaru is an excellent choice for families. The rooms are well-organized and modern. My teen-age grandkids loved the bunk beds. The location is walkable to Gion and Nishiki market, also train stops.

My grandson left his camera in the room when we checked out, and we were already on the train to Tokyo when we found out. The front desk staff went well beyond expectations to help me get it shipped back home. Everyone was patient, kind and helpful from the moment we checked in. I would recommend Mimaru to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean and modern place to stay.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location of the property is not very close to main shopping or sight seeing area, but within 15 to 20 minutes walking distance. The bus stop is close by and only talk 2 to 3 stops to the main tourist area. The room is spacious and can accommodate 4 people. It has 24 hours convenience store next to it and has a 24 hours restaurant just across the street to provide food with reasonable price. Overall, I will recommend this hotel for those who visit Kyoto.
