MIMARU Kyoto Kawaramachi Gojo

Yet another amazing stay at Mimaru for us! We’ve always used this chain of apartment hotel every time we go to Japan as they’ve all been excellent to stay and this Kyoto was no different! The property is more like a hotel but still has kitchen and dining table for the family room we stayed which was nice. Area around is super quiet and supermarket right next door at 30 seconds walk! Relatively close to Kyoto station to walk but bus and uber is quicker. Close to main shopping street also which makes this property a highly recommended to stay!

A great central location in the Kyoto area. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed the children’s play room, entertainment room, and rooftop. A nice, comfortable stay with good size rooms for our family of four.

A good hotel in a good location. Bunk beds for kids and a second bathroom make it easy for a family. Easy walk to heart of city and lots of food option nearby including a 7-11 and Fresco 24hr grocery store. Kids loved it. Was a bit inconvenient not having basic necessities in the room such as coffee. As a coffee drinker it’s annoying to have to walk to reception just for some instant coffee first thing in the morning. Would have given the hotel 5* but they gave us inaccurate advice for train and bus tickets. We told them where we wanted to go and they sold us day passes for 1,100 yen (4,400 for 3 adults and 2 kids). When we got to the train station we found out the tickets they sold us weren’t for that train, we then had to pay cash for that train and other trains for the rest of the day. When we spoke to the hotel about it, their answer was “sorry, you should have read the fine print”. Given we bought the tickets on their advice, the right thing to do would have been to offer a refund or some sort of compensation for this. Lesson learned, do your own research, don’t trust advice from reception.

Everything was wonderful. Helpful staff and very professional.

We're a family of five and the loft of 6 single beds was very comfortable for us. We love Mimaru! We had also stayed in Mimaru Tokyo. Both places are spacious and very clean. The staff were friendly, polite, and helpful. I was so touched by how kind they were. I had to send my 78 year old mother back by Uber to the hotel by herself from another city. She couldn't call because her phone wasn't working. The staff called AND emailed me to let me know she had arrived safely. The location is 3-5 minutes walk to transportation, grocery, dining. Super convenient! I will definitely stay here again.

The location was good, walking distance to groceries and 7 eleven. Nishiki Market was a mile away. Great staff!

Clean and friendly.

Great family apartment/hotel. The kids loved the bunk beds. Room was spacious. Great Landry facilities. Friendly staff. Very close the market and walkable to shops and restaurants. Easy and quick access to subway station. Would stay again. Thank you Minato!

The rooms are spacious, safe and convenient for families visiting Kyoto. The drier at this property are very inefficient and we ended up spending a lot just to dry a load of clothing.overall, this is a good property with friendly and supportive staff.

It was a nice stay worth what you pay for.
