Excellent location (minutes from Kyoto Station) with wonderful staff. Check-in is a breeze and the rooms, while a bit smaller than other Mimaru properties we have stayed at, were comfortable for our family of 7 (though our younger kids did enjoy the bunkbed setup). A 7-11 is right on the corner as well as some delicious restaurants within walking distance. We were on the tailend of our trip so we used laundry services which had larger machines that were close by. They also provide luggage storage services.

There is only one elevator so during peak times, you may have to wait a while for an elevator especially if you are on one of the middle floors. Comparatively, the room was on the smaller side for a Mimaru property, but it was still extremely comfortable.

Cleanliness, staff, location. The room type fit our family group, 7 members.

The rooms were big enough for 5 people. The location at the train station was very convenient. Only 2 min by walk. Many restaurants near by. 7/11 next door. Breakfast available at the hotel next door on additional charge if wanted.

all was perfect

The location was amazing and convenient as we had miss the Shinkansen trains back to Tokyo because of the weather and we needed to stay another night in Kyoto.. The family room we booked was comfortable and the amenities were great. The ststaff was friendly and very accommodating. We would return to this hotel the next time we come to Kyoto Japan.

We stayed in a Pokemon room for two nights and it was really cute! The giant Snorlax was the best, and the themed decor was great. The room is very comfortable and the largest room we had in Japan. It was also quiet, which was surprising given it's right across the road from the main train station. The strength of this hotel is the staff. They are amazing! Incredibly friendly and thoughtful, and when we said we were going to rural Kyoto to see lanterns in the snow, they provided us with some hand warmers in case we got cold. We never even thought of hand warmers! As a side note, I never tired of seeing the Shinkansen coming past!

The room, while comfortable, is a bit dated and tired. We could smell mildew in the bathroom, which was also very cold. Nothing major, but for a premium room we were a bit surprised. We would still stay here again though.

Apartment style, laundry and close to the station (extra bonus the Avanti was nearby)

That the corridors were all outside.

This is an excellent place to pick up while staying in Kyoto, but I wouldn't stay in the same area again. 1) Location: while traveling with Family location is key and even if this property is super well located (side by side to Kyoto station), due to Kyotos public transport infrastructure, my suggestion would be to pick a place closer to Yasaka Temple. 2) Rooms & equipment: rooms are extremely spacious for Japan's standards and that was a bless; they are well equipped with kitchenettes (no small oven though), comfy beds, BIG table/dining area, tidy and clean. 3) Staff and services: - There is a Laundry within the property and that worked fine. - It included a daily swap of towels and basic room cleanup (not standard in Japan). - Staff were 10/10!! 4) Overall, I felt like the price was a little higher than what the area could provide, yet again it was super well-located and spacious.

The price could probably be a little bit better.

Very clean and close to the station

Washing machine was a paid facility and not always available at peak times

Spotlessly clean and unbeatable location

None

Location is excellent, is just min away from Kyoto station. 7-11 is just beside the hotel. Is super convenient. Room is big for Japan room size. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. We had enjoyed our stay.

Staff are very friendly and helpful and can speak good English. Hotel location is excellent and is next to Kyoto station with 2 to 3 mins walk. There is a convenient store nearby. Hotel room is clean and comfy and feel like staying at home. Laundry facilities are good too.

Convenient location near Kyoto Station, Bus to Kiyomizu-dera is right round the corner (make sure you catch time departure time). Well equipped rooms, wasn't lacking in any way. Close to a shopping mall with Don Quijote to get stuff. We had 7 people in 2 connecting rooms, could take another 3 if we used all the beds and 2 sofa beds. Make sure you exit on the correct side of Kyoto Station, else could be a long walk when the shops close and you are unable to cut across the malls in kyoto station to get to the other side.

Limited washer and dryer available, need to hang around to collect the clothes. Staff helped to take them out so the other guests can use the washers though. Think the dryers in higher demand.

Good location and cleanliness

Maybe the lightings are too dim

We totally enjoyed our stay. Perfect location. Only a short walk across the street from Kyoto Station. Quiet and clean. Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and professional.

Clean property conveniently located across the street from Kyoto Station. Kitchenette is key as well as communal laundry facilities. Staff is kind and helpful. Loved our floor level garden room. Perfect for families!

Very helpful staff. Great size room with dining table and space. Great location and very convenient to Kyoto main station.

Nothing.

Great staff, great location, room was comfortable. Best bathroom on our whole trip.

Not much. It rained one night and we could hear some dripping in our room which was quite loud. But I’m nit picking.

Close to the train station and large area to accomodate our family of 4. Apple TV was a life saver.

Dripping noise on vents when it rained and stopped us from sleeping. The staff were amazing with supporting us.

We booked the Pokemon room and our son LOVED it! What a cool idea. Like other Mimaru hotels, this one had wonderfully helpful staff, and spacious (for Japan) rooms. Location right next to the station was great for heading out to the main sights.

Nothing

Clean, spacious, helpful front desk.

Laundry - Dryer is not powerful enough.

Excellent location. Friendly staff.

We love the kitchen, can cook food enjoy with family. Staff is friendly and helpful

Room is a bit small for 4 adults, no space to open all 4 suitcases. Storage space also not enough. Kitchen pot and pan is over used, should check the quality after each check out.

Great location, right next to the station but with none of the noise. Kyoto isn’t great for public transport so being so close to the main hub was key. Mac and Yuko were particularly helpful to us. They sorted out taxis, they made recommendations to us on where to go as we only had 1.5 days in Kyoto. Their restaurant recommendations were excellent too. This is our 2nd Mimaru stay having spent 4 nights in a Mimaru in Tokyo. The room layout, the space, the washing facilities, the cleanliness have been excellent. Our kids are 16yo and 13yo so to stay in one room together and say all that shows how great Mimaru’s are.

Nothing. It was all great.

Close to the station. Amazing view of the bullet train (important for 7yr old train mad son)
