MIMARU Hotels in Kyoto

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.

Spacious and clean room for our family of 4 persons. There is a pantry great for preparing food and drinks. Location of hotel is convenient, just few minutes from Kyoto Station. Staff is friendly and helpful especially Kotomi who prepared documents and booked for my luggage delivery. Will book again for our next visit!

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.

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.

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.

This hotel is made for families with young children. Highly recommended for any family that wants to visit Kyoto and not have connecting rooms in a regular hotel. The galley kitchen has everything you need for a few days in Kyoto. The staff are pleasant, international and very helpful. The location is good, close enough to walk to Gion and right by the river.

Staying at the Mimaru chain is not my first time and most Mimaru is very family friendly. Since it was my first time staying in Kyoto I tried this Mimaru Suites Kyoto Shijo, it didn’t disappoint one bit and it is great and very family friendly. I booked a room with 2 bedrooms & 1 tatami area with a small living room which can easily accommodate up to 6 members. The hotel is also located beside the busy streets of Kyoto city. The Hankyu Kyoto Line is just a 5min walk away which is where most of the food and major department stores are located. Would recommend this Mimaru for those who are looking for a decent family stay within the area.
