This was an excellent hotel in a wonderful location. The only reason it got 4 stars is because the washer dryer combo would only wash and would not dry. We had picked the hotel with the expectation of doing laundry after our stay in Tokyo and we ended up being able to wash but not dry any of the clothes we had and had to hang them up all over the room to try to dry them. Otherwise, perfection. Lots of space for 5 adults, lovely coffee and sake/beer happy hour complimentary to guests (we don’t drink but it is a nice touch for those who might). Pristine on cleanliness.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. It’s perfectly situated, away from the crowds but still close to the main shopping area and trains. You can also find a mixture of local and touristy restaurants. The staff is very kind and helpful and speak perfect English. I think this is now my favorite hotel in Kyoto.

Fantastic hotel and 2 bed suite was amazing. We wish we’d booked longer. The happy hour was exactly what we needed, too! The free sake tasting and craft beer was so nice. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Mimaru has a great set up and we’ll definitely use it again when we return to Japan.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful, and this property exceeded our expectations in every way. The layout was perfect for our group, with two separate bedrooms that provided plenty of privacy and two bathrooms that made getting ready and coming and going incredibly convenient. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the living room offered a warm, inviting space where we could relax, visit, and enjoy each other’s company. What truly set this property apart, however, was the outstanding level of hospitality. During our stay, we experienced a minor issue with the key card lock when the batteries in the door lock unexpectedly died. It took a couple of attempts to diagnose the problem, but it was ultimately resolved and did not significantly impact our visit. At checkout, we were deeply touched to receive a handwritten note apologizing for the inconvenience and thanking us for choosing to stay there. That personal gesture spoke volumes about how much the staff genuinely care about their guests. In a world where customer service is often impersonal, this thoughtful act left a lasting impression. Because of the comfortable accommodations and the exceptional care shown by the staff, I can confidently say I have found my place to stay in Kyoto. The next time I’m in the city—and every time after that—this will be my first choice.
