MIMARU Kyoto Kawaramachi Gojo

Check in was exceptionally smooth due to front desk staff being fluent in multiple languages. Staff were super courteous and helpful too! There’s a small kiosk off to the side of the reception area that had bios of the front desk staff and it was actually quite amazing how many languages are available. There’s rooms were enormous. Like…no joke.. seriously huge by Japan standards. They could probably do with an additional washer / dryer room somewhere else in the building but it was still overall quite convenient. It cost about 700 yen to do a load of laundry (wash + dry). The staff also helped set up a free loaner appleTV unit so we could stream Netflix / YouTube during our stay, which was really quite nice. Food delivery through Uber Eats is RIDICULOUSLY quick and efficient - it puts the US to shame. We ordered McDonalds delivery one morning for breakfast and it got to us in 8 min flat. Kitchen was well stocked and perfectly usable and there is a grocery store literally half a block away. The only downside is that there’s not a whole lot else within a 5-10 min walk other than a 7 eleven, pharmacy, and some small restaurants. You have to walk about 15 min to get to nearby shopping areas. I would gladly stay at MIMARU again in the future!

Great location, clean property and kind and helpful staff

Nice and clean with a friendly and helpful staff.

We recently stayed here with our three children, each under 12 years old. We found this to be a very convenient and well equipped place to stay. We found that the front desk staff had wonderful English, which really made a difference. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Small point, but we liked that there was a luggage weighing scale in the lobby.
