Mimaru Tokyo Kinshicho

Too many great things to say about Mimaru Kinshicho to make this a short review but a very well deserved max rating from us as a travelling family of 5 from the UK. We booked the Theatre double bunk family room for a week. Firstly LOCATION, Excellent location situated less than 10 mins walk to Kinshicho station which has great transport links to Tokyo Station (3 stops on the Sobu Rapid) and Akhihabara/Shinjuku Stations on the Chuo Sobu, both of which more importantly are on JR lines and hence are JR Pass friendly, no need for an extra ticket if you already have a JR Pass! Kinshicho location itself is already a bustling area surrounded by large department stores, entertainment and food places so in terms of local ammenities, Kinshicho is abundant. Now onto the ApartHotel itself.. STAFF & SERVICE An array of multi lingual/multi cultural staff as well as being able to speak other foreigh languages all spoke perfect English so for the travelling foreigner, it was so refreshing to be able to communicate easily. Extremely polite staff all young and enthusiastic serving with a smile. They also offer to receive delivered luggages so when we sent out luggages from Osaka during our first leg of the Japan trip, not only were Mimaru happy to receive it, they also delivered the luggages straight to our room on arrival so our luggages was in the room ready and waiting for us. Little touches that we really appreciated. ROOM The best part - Modern, clean and fresh but most importantly for a city like Tokyo, the apartment was extremely large and spacious. Hotel rooms in Tokyo have always been tiny and cramped so our mindset always expected that so when upon entering this room, it exceeded our expectations. Had nice perks such as projection screen with smart TV capabilities such as Youtube, Netflix, phone screen mirrorring. A double sink area with a wetroom and large bath tub. An extra bedroom with 2 single beds (to quarantine the loud snorer like me) as well as the double bunk bed in the main studio room that easily sleeps 4. A large seating area and table that will comfortable seat six large adults. Very satisfied with the room choice and the best we've stayed in during all our previous stays in Japan. NEGATIVES/CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK I only have one very minor gripe. It is great that this place offers a large list of free-to-loan essential items (Like rice cooker, toaster, adapters etc) but I feel it is missing and could benefit from a fair usage policy on the items or at least on more popular items such as the iron and ironing board. When customers loan items, it is entirely up to them as and when they decide to return the items. This is why we waited for over 2 days for an iron and ironing board to become available. I feel the ApartHotel staff can reserve the right to retrieve loan items daily during housekeeping and if people requires the items, they can request it again from reception. CONCLUSION Third visit to Japan and have to say ApartHotels are the way to go in Tokyo now due to the spacious rooms that cater for large families. I just cannot see myself staying at a traditional hotel anymore in Tokyo and I would easily come back to Mimaru again. Well done Mimaru!

An amazing apartment hotel. Very suitable for family. My wife and children were delighted when we got into the room. Spacious, my 3 children loved the bunk bed. The microwave, the fridge, dining table, utensils, were great addition to our room. It made our trip to Tokyo so much better. Highly recommended
