Mihama Vacations from $434

Obviously, this is not a 5 star property but it was 5 stars for what it was! It has a very hostel vibe to it - the main lobby area is very dark and “modern”. Our room was very spacious and clean, and we appreciated having a little table and chairs. They do not clean the room unless you stay longer than 4 nights, but amenities and towels are available to grab as needed so it wasn’t a problem for us. It was a convenient location for us, about a 10 minute walk from the centre area of Kyoto. It was nice to be able to grab a coffee as most places aren’t open early, but highly recommend Coyote coffee just across the street and Dining 603 (breakfast) a few blocks away.

The stand out about this hotel is the people. Everything with the property is excellent. But a hotel is about people. The people that care for you here are so lovely and warm that they feel more like family. You really look forward to seeing them every day and engaging them on the traditions and culture of Japan.

The room was spotless, and Comfortable. But what was best about this place is staff were amazing! Everyone was so nice! They helped me with everything.

Staff was exceptional! Rooms were clean and serene. Luxurious yet traditional feel. Would stay again!

Beautiful hotel. Fantastic location. Awesome main floor / breakfast. Rooms are kept super basic (so not as luxury as rest of hotel) but clean. Would recommend!
