Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, my son and I found the room tranquil with comfortable beddings and traditional Japanese floor along with modern shower and calming lighting. Staff were friendly and helpful with all our needs. I left a jacket behind which they will help me to ship it back home to the States. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great stay!

This was great for our family of 5. 2 beds plus tatami/futon mats for the 3 kids which they said were more comfortable than our beds. The dining/sitting area was where beds were setup at night. Very clean and staff were wonderful! We were able to store our luggage and go explore the area until checkin. Also offered to assist with luggage transfer if needed. Located in a great area with the most delicious ramen restaurant a couple of doors down. Would stay here again easily. Walking distance to Nijo castle and other great places.

Just a tiny bit further from the train station than I would have liked (21 weeks pregnant with a toddler, 15-20 minute walk) but we still did tons of sightseeing via train and taxi. We loved the quaint side streets between this hotel and Nishiki market. Bathtub was really high tech, loved it! The apartment was spacious for our family of three and I loved the tatami area.

Excellent stay, recommend for families

Awesome aparthotel - great little apartment, incredibly well-designed and thought out, very clean. Perfect for family (of 4) with fridge-freezer, hob, kettle. Think there was an oven too but we didn’t use it. Could borrow a toaster. Friendly and helpful front desk staff - they helped us book somewhere for dinner. Only minor issues were that it could be a little noisy at night from traffic on the main road (we were 5th floor) and the washer-dryer did a great job at washing and a truly awful job at drying! Washing was left damp and smelly at the end of drying cycle (not overloaded at all). Re-washed and hung to dry instead and that worked well with the bathroom extractor on (I borrowed an extra airer). So convenient to have your own washer though. Would stay again and recommend. Location was excellent for exploring and eating out - we walked lots of places - nearest underground was maybe 10-15 mins walk.

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.
