Great little property in Kyoto. It was able to fit our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teenagers) relatively comfortably. There is additional bedding provided that can make 2 more beds on the ground if needed. The location is convenient to a couple of nearby (less than 5 minute walk) bus stations. We took an uber to the bamboo forest and it was a little over 20 minutes. There is a ridiculously cute breakfast place across the street, but be prepared to wait a long time. Right next to the hotel is another coffee house that serves basic breakfast, and their coffee is all pour-over and takes a long time to make, so don't expect a quick in-and-out for breakfast. Overall, I was pleased with the location, and I would definitely stay again.

Amazing hotel in Kyoto

The Mimaru Kyoto Nijo Castle is an excellent hotel. It's in a very convenient location in Kyoto. Very close to multiple subway stations. The hotel is very modern with everything you need to make your stay amazing such as microwave, stove, fridge, washer and dryer, etc as well as all the high tech Japanese controls. But what made the stay even more forgettable was the front desk staff. Very accommodating and their hospitality went above and beyond. From check in, to assisting us with luggage transfer to the check out. They were amazing. Thank you so much.

The room was clean pleasant, if just a bit tight for 5 people. Two of the kids liked the experience of sleeping on the tatami mats. Having the laundry machine in our unit was a life saver. The only feedback for the hotel is that the toilet gave off a strange smell the entire stay. I think it was because the tank needed to be cleaned.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Lin, Mamika, and Koki for their warmth and responsiveness to all my inquiries. A special shout-out goes to Lin, who truly went the extra mile to help me track down a hard-to-find shopping item! My vacations in Japan left me with unforgettable memories. We originally booked a traditional Japanese-style room at this hotel for seven nights but loved it so much that we decided to extend our stay by three more nights. The staff here not only speaks English but are also exceptionally friendly. It’s also convenient to explore nearby Kyoto, Nara, Uji, Otsu, and Osaka from this location.

Great family hotel

This was a nice, warm place to stay for our journey. The space itself was clean, efficient and comfortable and the people at reception were wonderful. The bathroom was particularly spacious and comfy. My son loved the free game rentals. The location is a bit out of the way for downtown but any easy walk to stores and restaurants.

As a family of 5, our overall stay at Mimaru Kyoto was great. The location was walkable to many areas we wanted to look at during our stay which was convenient and close to bus stops for the sightseeing that was a little further away. The combined washer/dryer in the room was a godsend, I would put it on most nights when we went to bed and wake up to clean dry clothes. The staff were very friendly, accommodating and helpful in their local knowledge. My only negative feedback would be that the beds are very very firm which was uncomfortable for me, there was alot of dust in the room, particularly around the bed head, window and bed base and there was no broom or vacuum etc to clean the floor when our kids spilt food. However, overall we really enjoyed our stay at the Mimaru Kyoto.

Great hospitality and staff are always willing to help, despite language barrier. They do speak basic English. Very personal since it’s a one way entry and you’d have to pass front desk as you’re leaving and entering. Feels homey.. washer as dryer in unit was extremely convenient and useful, however, do plan ahead. It holds a very small load, extremely small, and takes hours to complete a super small load.. we made it work. Pretty close to Nishiki market and super close to Nijo castle.
