The room itself was nice and spacious. The housekeeping was poor I’d say. They have a schedule of when they do bedsheets vs. bathrooms etc. but it seemed sporadic and they don’t tidy anything ever. It was very nice they had a washer dryer combo in the unit. Pretty good value I’d say generally for a family. As far as staff and service I’d say they are almost all incompetent. With the exception of a gentleman named Seth and his colleague Daniel, everyone else had no clue what they were talking about. I asked to have a taxi in the morning waiting, the next morning the woman at the counter struggled with an iPad for 5 minutes until I finally gave up and booked an uber. I asked another woman at the front desk if I could get a stamp to mail my postcard. She told me to visit Lawson’s only to find out they don’t sell stamps so I had to talk 20 minutes to the post office. It seemed that every time I needed something or had a question I was given incorrect or incomplete information. Don’t stay here if you expect even mediocre customer service. Do stay here if you are totally self sufficient, need a lot of space, and are traveling with little ones. Overall average.

If I could give more stars I would! Front desk hosts are all so kind and helpful. Housekeeping staff were so sweet and accommodating to our changing schedule. The reception area multi-functional coffee/cocoa machine clean was a hit for our family of 6. Happy hour sake/local beer a bonus! We were in Kyoto for 6 nights and covered a lot of ground. The location was perfect and walkable to most but could also jump right on the train closeby. Extremely clean hotel city. Our favorite Mimaru so far and we've stayed at 3 during our trip :) Thank you for making our stay in Kyoto extra comfortable and amazing!

Wonderful place to stay, especially for four adults. It is roomy and clean with two full bathrooms and a washing machine. The staff is very friendly and helpful! It's only minutes to the subway station and konbinis and yet very quiet at night. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay. The property is clean and rooms are spacious, staffs were welcoming. We had a 2br with 2 baths, which is fantastic for our family of 4. Short walk to subway, convenient store right around the corner. They also offer expresso in the morning and beer tasting at happy hour, we loved it so much and would definitely go back if we visit Japan again. Highly recommended!
