This is a great place to stay in Tokyo. It’s a great location, close to the subway line and within an easy walk to Pontoccho Alley and Gion. The staff are friendly and helpful. The place is spotless and our two bedroom apartment was spacious and had everything you need and more. Highly recommend.
2.5
Great location and large rooms with plenty of amenities. The staff were super helpful. My only suggestion is the check how many beds are in your room. We had 6 people in a 2 bedroom suite, but only 4 beds, we were able to upgrade to a larger 3 bedroom suite with 6 beds, but could be a problem if they don’t have any upgrades available.

The room was excellent. They had all of the amenities a family would need. Excellent washer and dryer. Lots of room. Great showers and towel service. The happy hour every night was a nice plus and the staff had good recommendations and spoke fluent English. I would highly recommend!

This was a great place to stay. The service was impeccable. I asked somebody about the luggage delivery service and two days later when I left, they had already filled out the paperwork (I hadn't even committed to it yet). It's a small thing, but it saved me 20 minutes of figuring it out with somebody. The room was a nice 2 bed / 2 bad apartment. It was clean and nice. The free beer and sake and juices at happy hour was a plus. After long days of hiking around kyoto having a nice refreshing and free beer was awesome. The location is not convenient for any particular popular destination in the kyoto area, but it was central, so getting to most places was rather easy. Overall it was an enjoyable stay that exceeded expectations for me, my wife and two kids.
2.5
This is a phenomenal apartment-hotel. The apartment was clean, spacious and well appointed. Bonus, everyday there is a happy hour with complementary drinks and sake. Better, there is free proper coffee all day and into the evening.
The staff is phenomenal as well. English speaking, providing great recommendations, and making arrangements for our specific needs. They are friendly and took care of all of our luggage arrival shipping needs.
The location is a hidden gem. It's on a quiet street, next to a beautiful temple, and literally 10 yards/meters from the #5 bus, which services direct access to the shopping district. It's a 5 minute walk to a small and easy to manage subway stop, which is only 2 stops from the Kyoto rail station.
Our family absolutely loved this place and we will be back!

Location was ideal. We were centrally located. Able to use the subway to get all of our planned sites. They had free happy hour sake or beer. It was convenient to have laundry in our room. Staff was friendly and helpful. They also helped us tract down my son’s lost AirPods at the local tea/kimono experience

I booked a 2 room suite for the second leg of my Japan trip. I couldn't have been more pleased with our accommodations. It was clean and so spacious! It was basically an apartment. The washing machine was easy to use, and kitchen amenities were great. The staff is courteous and helpful. It was also walking distance from Kyoto's shopping district. The beer and wine happy hour in the lobby was also a plus. Book this property if you are travelling with a family, don't want to feel cramped and need some "home-like" amenities.

My family of 6 enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and we loved the happy hour. The only thing I wished was that we stayed on a higher floor.

This hotel was great with the most wonderful staff. We felt well-catered to during our stay and the place was quiet and peaceful while still close to everything.
Thank you for the outstanding hospitality. We will definitely stay here again for future trips to Kyoto!

The suites are very spacious, staff is courteous and helpful and there is a family feel to the place. It is only a five minute walks to the K line subway and many restaurants are within a 10-20 minute walk. Happy hour and free coffee and tea were nice benefits. We found the rooms to be very clean and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We stayed at Mimaru Suites Kyoto Shijo for four nights. The hotel is in a great location across a beautiful temple and walking distance to Nijo castle, Imperial Palace, Nishiki market, temples, shrines and old Kyoto. We walked mostly everywhere and had a great experience at the hotel with happy hour each day. Our suite was 2 bedroom, 2 bathrooms which was perfect for our family of four. The room was clean and spacious with a kitchenette.
The staff was helpful and kind. They also helped us to book taxis!
Overall, we had a wonderful experience staying at Mimaru suites. We look forward to visiting again in the future and staying at Mimaru Suites! Thank you to the wonderful staff!

Love this property! We stayed for 4 nights in a 2-bedroom/2-bathroom unit with our two teenage sons. As this was the last leg of our Japan trip, having a kitchen and sofa was so great. This hotel has the best and most accommodating and friendly staff of any place we stayed in Japan. Loved the happy hour and there were many American tourists as well. I would suggest using the washing machine setting only and hanging clothes to dry, as using the combo washer/dryer either shrunk our clothes or just did not work even after a 3 hour cycle. I don't think dryers are big in Japan so I don't fault the hotel at all. My only complaint is that the beds were a bit chintzy and not super comfortable.

Amazing location with great rooms & service. There are so many great restaurants nearby and downtown / Gion are very close by.
Only downside is the lack of breakfast. There's a discount on the breakfast bar at the nearby Hilton, but we found that to be packed and understaffed.
5.0
We are a family of six and stayed in the three bedroom suite. It was very spacious and the kitchen was well stocked. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was very central. The hotel also offered complimentary pyjamas, calligraphy classes and sake tasting. Highly recommend to larger families traveling to Kyoto.

Great place. Had everything we needed, in a nice location, a few minutes walk from public transport, stores and restaurants. They offer free beverages like tea and coffee, a happy hour, helpful front desk staff, and have many items available for use, like irons and umbrellas. The laundry machine was very useful and would recommend others stay here.

What a great stay. The room was perfect for our family… Mom, Dad and three adult sized older children over 18. Our room had a nice common area, small kitchen, and three bedrooms, essentially sleeping six. There were two bathrooms, also, which was very helpful. The washer /dryer is nice to have but takes a looooong time to wash and dry a small load. Some user error played into our learning curve- just give a long time and follow the directions. They are so welcoming here and offer a great happy hour downstairs. We enjoyed chatting with other guests from around the world! Highly recommend.

I would like to thank this property for its utmost patience with my group traveling. We inconvenienced the team with late check in and a bigger group size and they were very professional with addressing that issue/abiding by hotel policy. I am grateful for the staff and of course the Mimaru properties are lovely. Big shout out to the Kyoto Shijo staff.

We really enjoyed our stay here and wish we could have stayed more nights . We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment and it was great for our family . The free sake and beer was a bonus.
2.5
We are a family of four, including our sons, age 17 and 20. We stayed in five different hotels in Japan during our vacation and this was by far our favorite. We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment. Check in was seamless. The apartment was immaculate and roomy. It had a nicely equipped kitchen. The hotel offers a menu in the lobby of things you can borrow like phone chargers and wine glasses. They also provide coffee, tea and juice in the morning and complimentary happy hour with beer and sake in the evening. The front desk staff were all lovely and helpful. The location of the hotel was super convenient to Kyoto Station as well as Gion/Pontocho and the shopping district. There are also many restaurants and convenience stores in the surrounding area. We were able to walk almost everywhere. Highly recommend!
