This was outstanding customer service. From the moment we were greeted, we felt well cared for. Games for the kiddos, happy hour with sake and beer, tables for a morning coffee.

Our family of four loved having a two bedroom and two bathroom suite. With a washing machine/dryer in our room also! The hotel was quiet and the staff were helpful. The early evening happy hours with draft beer and sakes were a nice touch to come back to after a heavy day of sightseeing. Would definitely recommend!

Our stay at Mimaru Kyoto exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. A special thank you to Sae at the front desk, who went above and beyond throughout our stay. She was attentive, thoughtful, and always happy to help, whether it was finding the perfect restaurant recommendations or helping us make sure we could watch a FIFA match. Her kindness and genuine care made a great stay even more memorable. The apartment was spacious, immaculate, and exceptionally well equipped. Having an in-room washer and dryer was such a convenience, especially while travelling as a family. It truly felt like a home away from home. We also really enjoyed the complimentary happy hour in the lobby, which was a lovely touch and a great way to unwind after a day of exploring. The location is excellent, with easy access to transit and many of Kyoto’s highlights. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely return on our next visit to Kyoto. Highly recommended!
