This was the second Mimaru property we stayed at on our recent trip to Japan and it was fantastic. We loved our suite - having two full baths was so nice traveling with 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The sitting area was very comfortable, with a full dining table and a nice kitchen. We also loved the beer/sake hour in the evening, and our girls loved being able to get juice or green tea in the lobby. The hotel is extremely quiet; we heard no noise from any adjoining rooms, or above or below, and the neighborhood is not at all noisy. We enjoyed being within easy walking distance of a few cafes, lots of shopping, and the subway station, and a slightly further (about 15 minutes) walk from the main shopping area. The staff at the hotel was lovely and super helpful; we appreciated how good their English was, as our Japanese is not at all good. I would highly recommend this hotel in particular and the Mimaru brand in general to families traveling to Kyoto.
