We love Mimaru for its family sized rooms. Ample beds and movement areas with a nice kitchenette. The hotel is safe as the main doors locks at night. We stayed in the deluxe japanese room which is 60m2, perfect for a family of 4 with grown up children

The hotel is exceptional and frankly exceeded our expectations. Its minimalist architecture centered on an inner garden is a real highlight. We had a fantastic stay. Everything was perfect, including the public baths and the breakfast. We stayed in a superior room. The location was good, only a few streets away from central metro and bus stations. The room overlooked a quiet street

With several restaurants in and around its neighborhood and a 7-11 directly across the street, Shizutetsu Hotel Prezio Kyoto Shijo welcomes guests to one of the best areas in the city. Two blocks away, you will find a Boulangerie to die for within minutes from Nijo Castle. At Shijo-Omiya station, you can take the Randen tram to Arashiyama after a short, 10-minute walk from the hotel, Shijo Nishinotoin bus stop is one block away, and Karasuma station train station is close enough for you to walk with your carry-on and backpack without breaking a sweat for only a few minutes on a flat road as you make your way to catch the Limited Express train Osaka-Umeda on the Hanky-Kyoto Line, an affordable option that I highly recommend to any visitors travelling between the two cities for its comfort and value. Furthermore, the hotel provides access to a handy launderette behind the elevators (all you need is 100-yen coins as the washing machines automatically dispense detergent), in addition to free toiletries by the reception (take the bath salts to recover after a long day of temple hopping) and excellent coffee from a machine right by the elevators (the Americano coffee was particularly good), currency exchanger and umbrellas for any rainy day. The breakfast buffet was delicious, with both Japanese and Western options, and I will always remember the breakfast attendant, a lovely old lady who greeted us every morning and even handed me the tray sometimes. And if you enjoy starting your day with a big breakfast, do not hesitate to make a reservation with breakfast included. Every day, we also received free bottles of water and green tea bags in a paper bag with fresh towels even if we did not request room cleaning. The bed was so comfortable, I feel asleep immediately as I slipped into those sheets with a high thread count. Yet, I will remember this hotel first and foremost for its staff, incredibly diligent, considerate and helpful even after checking out.

We were there during the 'Naked' Autumn festival and enjoyed exploring the Castle grounds at night with all the coloured lights and sounds. The complementary sake and sweet treat were a bonus! We went back in the morning to view the gardens by day and see if we could spot some local birds - didn't disappoint!

Walking through the palace interior was very interesting as it was unlike anything we’d seen before! The surrounding grounds contained beautifully landscaped gardens and a cafe in the style of a Japanese tea house.

You can purchase tickets for Nijo Castle online and do remember to take the full package which includes the tour of the palace (sorry, can't remember what it's called) which housed the Daimyo back then and has since been maintained. Very nice historical trip!

I think Nijo Castle is a beautiful and fascinating place to visit. It is one of the best-preserved examples of a Japanese castle, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle is known for its ornate architecture and its beautiful gardens. I particularly enjoyed seeing the Ninomaru Goten Palace, which is the main building in the castle. The palace is full of beautiful paintings and sculptures, and it gives a glimpse into the life of the shoguns, the military rulers of Japan during the Edo period. I also enjoyed walking through the Ninomaru Garden, which is a beautiful Japanese garden with ponds, waterfalls, and stone lanterns. The garden is a great place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Kyoto. Overall, I think Nijo Castle is a must-see for anyone visiting Kyoto. It is a beautiful and fascinating place to learn about the history and culture of Japan. Here are some additional thoughts about Nijo Castle: The castle is located in a convenient location in Kyoto, and it is easy to get to by public transportation. There is a lot to see and do at the castle, including the Ninomaru Goten Palace, the Ninomaru Garden, and various other buildings and exhibits. The castle is well-preserved and well-maintained. The staff at the castle is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a visit to Nijo Castle if you are looking for a beautiful and informative experience in Kyoto.

The first 4 floors are just museum floors - art, history of the castle, etc. If you just want to see the incredible panoramic view at the top get in the line for the elevator which skips those middle floors and goes to the 5th. Otherwise you will have to climb all the flight of stairs regardless if you want to see what's on them. Get there early though - the elevator line gets very long very quickly and the entrance line is just as bad. People start queuing up in line before it even opens.

This accommodation is an excellent price value. It is located super close o the nijo castle Jr station from where you can reach the most tourist spots easily. The room is spacious but a bit old school. The bed is super comfortable. Recommended if you are looking for something cozy and less expensive.

Fantastic place. Away from the tourist areas. Very close to the Imperial Palace and gardens, also the Nijo Castle. Try coffee shop Itsuki for breakfast....gorgeous non touristy place and Material for fantastic cocktails. Kyoto is pretty flat...rent bicycles to get around. The fantastic Nishiki market also not so far. Rooms are large...beds are large. V. Relaxing stay after busy hectic sightseeing.

A nice quiet hotel very near Nijo Castle. An easy bus ride to Gion and other interesting areas - like the fabulous Nishika Market. Really useful restaurant map in room. There are plenty of good restaurants in this mainly upmarket residential area. Recommend in particular Soba Tatsuishi - go early to avoid queues. The hotel rooms and bathrooms are a good size and very quiet, and the beds comfortable. Note they only clean the room between guests but you can get clean towels etc from the corridor.

A beautiful 3 bedroom apartment that was clean and comfortable. The rooms were large and the dining/lounge room had everything we needed including a massage chair which my son loved. It also had a big fridge to store food, and washing machine and drying rack. The coffee machine in the foyer was a nice touch! Walking distance to Nijo castle, Nishiki market, Seven Elevens and Fresco supermarket. A fantastic stay!
