Daiwa Roynet Hotel KYOTO-TERRACE-HACHIJO PREMIER

The location of the hotel is amazing! Right next to Kyoto station, very convenient for traveller especially taking train to nearby cities such as Uji and Nara! One convenient store (711) is attached to the hotel ground floor, many restaurants and stores nearby the hotel and close until late! Very recommended for those who want to maximise their time while traveling Japan! The only thing is the room is a bit small but overall is nice

Skip the breakfast, very few warm items, and cold even when taken at 7 am in the morning. The room has different pillows, buckwheat which i have allergy to. The hotel has removed twi buckwheat pillows from my room after i told them. But the night manager said they have no buckwheat pillows. If its for location, maybe, but the room they originally placed me its facing stairwell of the next hotel. When i ask to change, slapped with a 2000 yen a night x 3 upgrade. There are many other hotels around kyoto station. Do consider the others.

The location is great. Literally just opposite the Kyoto Station nearer on the subway end. Every touristy snack that you want to buy is found at the train station or around the station! Don't bother going anywhere else. The room was smaller than I expected. Didn't feel like 200 sgft. Maybe because the space went to the bathroom which had toilet and shower area comfortably separated. There are paid laundry services on the top floor and there are "live" updates on availability on your TV. So that is very convenient. I was there for the Kyoto Marathon, so the location was great to take the subway to get to race start and back. One slight gripe was I was pretty sick during my trip and was catching the airport bus to head to Osaka Airport at 1 pm. Check out is at 11 am and I requested if I could just sleep one more hour and check out at 12 pm. The hotel was very adamant to charge even for an hour. So be cautious about this if you are thinking that you can try to request for a late check out. Oh yes one more thing, the airport bus stop is literally across the street from the hotel as well. It was great for me because as I said I was pretty sick and so just dragging the luggage across the street and hopping into the bus straight to airport was really all that I could do.
