Hotel well located if you want to go to the different temples of the city, however it is a few minutes walk from transport.Very quiet area, amenities accessible 5 minutes away as well as very good restaurants.The welcome was exemplary, the staff speaks perfect English and takes great care.We really appreciated these exchanges, plus the hotel offers the possibility of having suitcases sent by Yamato (Kuro Neko); thanks to them we realized that our future collection location was closed on the day, even though this was not notified on the merchant site or Google.Their help was invaluable and avoided any inconvenience.The room was comfortable with all the amenities, we are satisfied with it.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Their English was great. The kids loved the bunk beds and the WiFi. The units are beautifully practical in a Japanese styled design. The smart tub was an added bonus. Theres a small dinning area with a limited kitchen and the basics. The washing machine and dryer combo was very convenient too. There’s a Lawson’s store across the street and two 7/11 stores within 5 min walking distance. There’s a train station 7 minutes away and buses that run up and down the street. It’s in a very safe neighborhood, and a little out of the way from the busy downtown area. We definitely enjoyed our stay. This is the 3rd Mimaru hotel we stayed in Japan and would highly recommend the place for families with kids or couples who want a place to rest after a long day of site seeing.
