We stayed for two nights at Mimaru Kyoto Nijo Castle and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The level of service we received was exceptional — staff members were consistently friendly, courteous, and always eager to assist with any questions or requests. We booked the Japanese-style connecting rooms, which were ideal for our family. The rooms were spotlessly clean, thoughtfully designed, and surprisingly spacious, offering plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably. We especially appreciated the clever layout that provided ample storage space for our suitcases, which helped us keep the rooms tidy during our stay. The in-room kitchen was another highlight — it was fully functional and well-equipped, allowing us to prepare light meals and snacks for our kids. Having a washer inside the room was a huge bonus, particularly for a family traveling with young children. It added so much convenience and made packing for the trip much easier, knowing we could do laundry on-site. Overall, Mimaru Kyoto Nijo Castle provided a perfect blend of comfort, practicality, and traditional Japanese charm. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to families or anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and family-friendly hotel in Kyoto.

Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, my son and I found the room tranquil with comfortable beddings and traditional Japanese floor along with modern shower and calming lighting. Staff were friendly and helpful with all our needs. I left a jacket behind which they will help me to ship it back home to the States. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great stay!

This was great for our family of 5. 2 beds plus tatami/futon mats for the 3 kids which they said were more comfortable than our beds. The dining/sitting area was where beds were setup at night. Very clean and staff were wonderful! We were able to store our luggage and go explore the area until checkin. Also offered to assist with luggage transfer if needed. Located in a great area with the most delicious ramen restaurant a couple of doors down. Would stay here again easily. Walking distance to Nijo castle and other great places.

Just a tiny bit further from the train station than I would have liked (21 weeks pregnant with a toddler, 15-20 minute walk) but we still did tons of sightseeing via train and taxi. We loved the quaint side streets between this hotel and Nishiki market. Bathtub was really high tech, loved it! The apartment was spacious for our family of three and I loved the tatami area.

Excellent stay, recommend for families

Awesome aparthotel - great little apartment, incredibly well-designed and thought out, very clean. Perfect for family (of 4) with fridge-freezer, hob, kettle. Think there was an oven too but we didn’t use it. Could borrow a toaster. Friendly and helpful front desk staff - they helped us book somewhere for dinner. Only minor issues were that it could be a little noisy at night from traffic on the main road (we were 5th floor) and the washer-dryer did a great job at washing and a truly awful job at drying! Washing was left damp and smelly at the end of drying cycle (not overloaded at all). Re-washed and hung to dry instead and that worked well with the bathroom extractor on (I borrowed an extra airer). So convenient to have your own washer though. Would stay again and recommend. Location was excellent for exploring and eating out - we walked lots of places - nearest underground was maybe 10-15 mins walk.
