For a hotel in central Tokyo, the rooms here are quite spacious, making it suitable for families. The 400 JPY charge for laundry is a bit expensive; at Dormy Inn, laundry is free, but then again, Dormy Inn rooms are much smaller, so it's a trade-off. This place isn't very 'Japanese' in style; it's quite Westernized, which is great for foreigners and families who need more space. However, if you're looking for an authentic Japanese cultural experience or hot springs, this isn't the place. The picture shows the Pokémon storage bags the hotel provided as a gift: one extra-large (like the IKEA ones), one medium, and one small.

Mimaru Tokyo Kinshicho was the perfect home base for our family! The location is fantastic—just a few minutes from Kinshicho Station, making travel effortless. We loved the spacious, modern apartment; having a separate living area and a full kitchenette was a game-changer. It was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Being close to the Tokyo Skytree and having plenty of restaurants and shops nearby was a huge bonus. We highly recommend this hotel for families wanting comfort, space, and convenience in Tokyo!

Overall, it was excellent, especially the cleanliness, service, and facilities. The only drawback was its distance from both JR (Shinjuku Station) and Tokyo Metro subway stations; for example, it took over 20 minutes to walk to JR Shinjuku Station. However, getting to and from the airport was incredibly convenient, as the shuttle pickup/drop-off point for Shinjuku Washington Hotel was just a 2-minute walk away. The room itself was fantastic, a Family Apartment spanning over 40 square meters, very new, and well-designed with ample space. We could easily set aside our shopping for last-minute packing without cluttering the main living area. The bathroom was well-separated, with a dedicated toilet and shower area. The kitchenette was well-equipped with dishes, bowls, plates, pots, and pans, along with a medium-sized refrigerator and microwave, perfect for cooking our own meals or heating up items from convenience stores. There were coin-operated washing machines on the second floor, though we didn't use them. With two elevators, waiting times were minimal. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful, explaining every step during check-in. We were also lucky to get early check-in at 10 AM, which was a huge bonus for anyone arriving in Tokyo early in the morning. If I have the chance to visit Tokyo again, I would definitely stay with Mimaru, perhaps in a different location like Ginza, Ueno, Asakusa, or Ikebukuro.

The room was spacious with excellent amenities. They even had items available for loan, like a hair curler. However, I'd suggest improving the extra bedding (mattress and blanket) that was stored in the closet; it was very dusty.

Pros:
1. Right across from the hotel is Torikizoku, open until 4:30 AM. This was a lifesaver for us after our flight was delayed and we arrived in the middle of the night.
2. The next day, getting a taxi to Tokyo Station was incredibly convenient, taking only 5 minutes.
3. The front desk staff were very professional. When we arrived close to midnight, the elderly gentleman on duty was still meticulously attentive. The two young men at the front desk the next day during checkout were also very enthusiastic and even helped us call a taxi.

The only slight drawback was the air conditioning. There were two adults and two children, and one child slept on the top bunk. They woke up in the middle of the night feeling hot and stuffy in their chest. We didn't know why at the time, but realized the next day it was likely due to the hot air from the AC rising. I suggest putting a small note in the room with tips for those sleeping on the top bunk regarding AC usage.

This hotel is located north of JR Ueno Station. The most convenient way to access it is through the Iriya Gate exit. From there, it's about an 8-minute walk to the hotel, situated in a quiet residential area. There's a convenience store right around the corner downstairs. However, it's about a 10-minute walk or more to Ameyoko market. As it's an apartment-style hotel, the room is quite spacious and comes with a small kitchen (microwave, refrigerator, induction hob, and tableware provided) and a dining area, making it ideal for families.

Traveling with kids, this hotel is actually quite convenient. However, this particular location in Tokyo was genuinely dirty. The bedsheets felt like they hadn't been changed from the previous guest; I felt itchy sleeping on them, and there was a lot of hair in the duvet. It really wasn't clean.

MIMA,RU Tokyo Asakusa Station has a fantastic location, perfect for exploring the area. The room was decent—comfortable and well-equipped for a short stay. One thing to adjust to was the lack of daily cleaning, but they did come to change towels and empty the bin, which helped. If booking, I’d recommend requesting a room on the fifth floor or above to enjoy a nice river view. Overall, it is a suitable stay for those who don’t mind a more self-sufficient setup and would definitely recommend for families.

Super sweet stay, great location - 3mins walk to metro, very clean and cozy - we stayed as a family of 5 and found the space to be comfortable! 
Variety of food choices around and convenient stores too. Paid self service laundry is available with coin exchange machine too.
They have bus shuttle provided as well - both Tyoko and Narita airplanes which is very convenient 
In our case, we booked a stay in Narita separately and they were very kind to assist with luggage delivery which we were able to get on the next day (same day delivery available too within certain areas). The cost varies upon luggage sizes which were very reasonable and we gladly took upon and travelled hassle free - tracking number provided too. A very seamless process which their front staff made it even more convenient with communications!
Very happy with Minmaru and will definitely stay again when we come back!
Highly recommended for families

The hotel location was great, 4min walk from metro station and 10min walk from JR station, very convenient. There was also a 24hour supermarket close by as well as a daiso that opens at 7am!

The staff were friendly and helpful. 
Amenities were amazing. Everything was there, from liquid detergent to pots and pans. They offered to clean up the room every 2 days, but still cleared the garbage daily. A point to note was that they didn’t vacuum properly under the table as the crumbs we dropped were sitting there for days.

Room was relatively spacious, we managed to have 3 suitcases open all at the same time, but the closet was a tad small. We had to set up our own tatami beds the first evening, other than that it was also good. They had electric plugs and switches on the bed headboard which was also convenient. Shower was also spacious with tub. 

Overall super happy with our stay, and would definitely consider it again

Brilliant room for us travelling as a family and the location was exceptional with us staying for a short period of him in Kyoto. Staff were amazing and hand written note when checking out was a great personal touch. Would highly recommend this hotel and if we are back in Kyoto will definitely be staying back at the Mimaru. Loved our short stay.

The room was spacious and well-equipped, perfect for families traveling with children. The surroundings were quiet, allowing for a good rest during our stay. The hotel's location is convenient, with a 24-hour mini-market across the street that stocks everything from snacks, drinks, and dairy products to dry goods, fruits, vegetables, and even meat. It's about a 5-minute walk to Kiyomizu-Gojo Station, and the bus stop for Kyoto Station is just a few meters away. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay, though I'd suggest improving the lighting in the room.

Highly recommended for families! The rooms are spacious, clean, and very well maintained, and the staff are incredibly helpful. Many of them speak good English, which made communication easy and comfortable.

Special thanks to the front desk staff, Louis, who went the extra mile by sending me a detailed email on how to travel back to Kansai Airport — truly appreciated.

The only downside is that the location isn’t very close to major attractions, so we had to either walk to the nearest train station or take a bus.

Overall, it was a very pleasant and comfortable stay.

My kids are very excited about this pokemon theme room, even the eating utensils are pokeballs. They have washing machines with washing detergent, which is good for long staying travellers. Just this room is a bit too packed, and the table corners are very sharp, my little one and an adult were scratched when passing by/sitting down the sofas. 
The overall experience is fantastic. The receptionist is even a Hong Kong guy, we felt extra warm welcoming.

The room was definitely spacious, at 60 square meters, it easily trumps most Japanese hotels. The two tables were also really convenient for placing items and dining. The location is fairly convenient; you do have to walk a bit to the subway, but it's worth it for the price.

Late June and early July aren't ideal for visiting Kyoto. It's too hot and sunny, and it doesn't quite capture the beauty of Kyoto. It's a bit of a shame. I loved my last visit in September. The hotel offers free sake and beer every day, and I especially love the Sharp laundry service—it's fantastic, with no service charge. The hotel also has a refrigerator, induction cooktop, and microwave, and I really enjoyed the two bathrooms.

Check in counter staff was always friendly and helpful however Room service wasn't up to standard. We stayed for 4 nights and plates and cups were in the sink and unwashed throughout and some rubbish was on the floor in the living room throughout the stay. Location is not bad as it's only 5min walk to the subway. Hotel doesnt have a car park so had to park at the public car park which is just 1 min walk away.

Our stay at Mimaru Osaka Namba Station was fantastic! The hotel is in an excellent location, just a short walk from Namba Station, Dotonbori, shopping areas, and many great restaurants. It made exploring Osaka incredibly convenient.The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable for our family. We especially appreciated the kitchenette and dining area, which made our stay feel like a home away from home. The beds were comfortable, and the room was surprisingly quiet despite being close to the city’s main attractions.

We had a wonderful stay at Mimaru Osaka Shinsaibashi North. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help, making our trip feel warm and welcoming. The environment was clean, comfortable, and perfect for traveling as a family, the room layout and facilities made our stay very convenient.

A special touch that really impressed us was the handwritten note the staff prepared for us at check-out. It made us feel truly appreciated and showed how thoughtful the team is.

Highly recommended for families visiting Osaka!

Exceeded expectations! Before this trip to Japan, I saw a lot of negative reviews on Ctrip about hotels having poor hygiene, which made me really nervous when choosing. But luckily, I picked this place. It has plenty of beds, enough space, and good hygiene, making it perfect for families with seniors and children, or just for a family trip.

The hotel also offers free coffee, which is awesome!

The front desk staff speak good English and are very friendly!

The only thing was that I had to make my own futon when I first arrived, which I found a bit odd...

The location is excellent, close to the subway, and there are many great restaurants nearby. We even went to a yakiniku place two nights in a row!

An absolutely perfect experience! The room was spotless, and the bunk beds for the kids were a huge hit, making their stay super fun. The hotel is really close to the subway, so getting to the city center didn't take long at all. Plus, there are tons of convenience stores nearby. All in all, everything was great!

The room is large enough, there is room for children to play, the front desk staff is friendly, it is just across Orange Street, there is a small park nearby, suitable for family stay, and it is only about ten minutes walk from Xinzaibashi.
