Mimaru is truly amazing! From the service to the hygiene and amenities, everything is top-notch. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, and the rooms are absolutely fantastic! The best stay I've had in Japan! It's great that they have locations all over Japan too.

The service was friendly and fun every step of the way. They had fun sakura themed bingo and an infant play space in the common area. My kids (7 and 13) loved the bunks. The staff was also very thoughtful to ask if we needed sharps disposal and they made luggage service easy. Area was quiet and easy access from main subway stop.

My kids are very excited about this pokemon theme room, even the eating utensils are pokeballs. They have washing machines with washing detergent, which is good for long staying travellers. Just this room is a bit too packed, and the table corners are very sharp, my little one and an adult were scratched when passing by/sitting down the sofas.
The overall experience is fantastic. The receptionist is even a Hong Kong guy, we felt extra warm welcoming.

I like the location its convenient near to the family mart and restaurants so you dont need to ride on the car
But the parking lot is so pricy but over all its good to stay with my family good for 6person

I made a reservation for Deluxe one bed room Japanese apartment. The room was clean, spacious, and quiet. There was a washing machine in the room. The hotel is located in a residential area, with a FamilyMart nearby. Although the hotel does not have its own parking, there is a paid parking lot located close to the hotel. Overall, it is comfortable and convenient.

Very bad policy, I booked a room named Family Apartment of 2 adult package I checked in with my kid aged 5 and they charge extra as over 25% of the total room charge. The pricing doesn’t make sense at all. Staff doesn’t say anything upon check in only charging me extra after check out!! I could have changed my hotel if I know upon check in!
Plus room keeping only replace the towel without tidying up the room at all
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest,Thank you very much for staying with MIMARU Kyoto Shinmachi Sanjo, and for taking the time to share your feedback.Regarding the room charge, please note that your reservation was made under a “2-person only plan.” This plan offers a discounted rate and, as clearly stated, cannot be used for more than two guests—including children. For stays with more than two people, the standard plan must be booked.When we received your reservation, we sent you a confirmation email explaining that the plan is limited to two guests, but unfortunately, we did not receive a response.In addition, your check-in took place after our front desk hours (7:00 AM–10:00 PM). At that time, only our night security staff were available, and they can perform only limited check-in procedures.The following morning, once our front desk team was available, we tried to reach you by email and phone several times but were unable to get in touch. Please note that the additional amount charged was not for an “extra person fee,” but rather the difference between the 2-person discounted rate and the regular room rate.If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.Best regards,MIMARU Kyoto Shinmachi SanjoFront Desk Team

Love staying at Mimaru, this is my family’s second time staying with Mimaru. We also stayed in Tokyo last year. Their locations are very convenient locations and great choice for families.
However, the Kyoto sanjo branch could pay a little more attention to cleaning the hotel rooms, we found strands of hair in the wash basin area.
Overall, the stay at Mimaru was very pleasant, and we would return again!
