Amazing 5-Day Stay
My stay at Mimaru Shinmachi Sanjo in Kyoto was wonderful. Our room was spacious and big enough for 2 people - could even fit a 3rd if we wanted. The air conditioner and laundry worked well, and the shower had great pressure. The toilet also had so many helpful settings - music for privacy, deodorizer, etc. The staff was kind and helpful - Harry gave us many tips! Their luggage storage room is also very helpful and we felt secure leaving our belongings there. I also encourage guests to try their luggage delivery service - you can avoid carrying your bags all over Kyoto when traveling elsewhere! My only feedback is I wish the mattresses were a bit more comfortable, but it really made no impact on our stay. Thank you, Mimaru!
Large spacious apart hotel, with all the amenities you'd want. Location is good although not at the busiest heart of the city, it is close to 2 stations and bus routes. Nishiki Market and Pontocho are in walking distance but you not near noisy crowds. Several breakfast options are nearby including chain restaurants, several coffee shops and bakeries. Family rooms are spacious and modern - nice big table to enjoy your konbini snacks. Staff are fluent in English and helpful. Good for families with kids.

Harry’s food tips were 100% every time an absolute please ire to deal with.
Alice could not be more helpful in helping arrange anything. Service was outstanding.
Location was good.
Beds were maybe a little on the firmer side.
Would come back again
ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR TWO WEEKS STAY IN KYOTO WAS THE STAFF OF THE FRONT DESK AT THE HOTEL - SMART, KNOWLEDGEABLE, ENTHUSIASTIC, CARING, OUTGOING AND A CONSTANT DELIGHT - MISS OLA, MISS ALICE, MISS MENIKA, MISTER THINH AND ALL THEIR COLLEAGUES, WHAT A MARVELOUS TEAM,THEY WILL BE IN MY MEMORY FOREVER AND I AM BEYOND GRATEFUL FOR THEIR KINDNESS AND MAKING US FEEL WELCOME, AND THEIR INEXHAUSTIBLE EXPERTISE IN ALL THINGS KYOTO...!
Location was excellent. Relatively quiet part of town but still within close proximity to train station. Plenty of convenience stores, markets, and dining options easily within walking distance. Would stay here again if we return to Kyoto.
Very comfortable hotel, spacious and in a great walkable location to main sites. The hotel has a lot of information available and staff are really friendly and helpful with anything. I would most definitely stay there again.

We loved this hotel! It was clean and quiet and the hotel staff were very helpful. We felt very safe walking in the neighborhood in the evening. There were many restaurants close by as well as a pizza place, drug store and a grocery store. Despite having all these retail places, it maintained the vibe of a residential neighborhood. I would stay here again!
This hotel provided our family of four with a a great stay. The family apartment was reasonably priced and very large. The hotel is a 2minute walk from the main train station. There are buses that will take you to all the main sights leaving regularly from the station. There is a large shopping centre at the station and everything you need within walking distance of the hotel. Highly recommend this property for families.

Mimaru Shinmachi Sanjo was perfect for our family stay! The spacious rooms were ideal for families with kids (ours are between 6 and 9), and the setup made us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond, helping with every request we had, which made our trip stress-free. Truly a wonderful experience for families visiting Kyoto. They even helped me find something on Amazon to ship to our next hotel as a surprise for our son. Great staff!
absolutely loved staying at MIMARU The rooms were super clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. It’s a fantastic choice for families—lots of room to relax after a busy day exploring the city. The location was convenient, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
