Daiwa Roynet Hotel Hakata-Gion

The location was good - very close to Gion subway station. The coffee sachets made very nice coffee. The cleaning staff were excellent and the coin operated washer/dryer machines were modern and useful. The umbrellas in reception were very useful when it rained!

The room size was not bad but although labelled as a deluxe room there was nothing deluxe about it. Each person had just one very small and hard pillow on the bed. The bed had no bedside cabinets (despite there being a nice space each side where one could have been placed. The view was dreadful - all we could see was sheeted scaffolding of the building next door about a couple of metres away. Although the coffee was nice, you had to go down to the front desk to ask for a sachet each day (and the same for the complimentary bottles of water). They also tried to give me just 1 bottle of water even though we were two guests in the room. The price was relatively high compared to our hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto (surprisingly).

Room is quite big & comfortable bed

Location is not so good & room window view is bad, I also check other rooms window but all are same.

Can have free cancellation. Close to JR station.

Assigned to smoking room. The smell was very strong.

Its location is really near Canal City

The aircon was more of a fan,and staff dont really speak english
