Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto Ekimae PREMIER

10/10 Excellent

"The whole experience was fantastic. The location was great. The price was incredibly reasonable. The service was amazing and the staff accommodated to me not being able to speak Japanese. Two free waters in the room every day was very very nice. The breakfast buffet was pretty enjoyable. The WiFi was reliable. The lobby had a pleasant aroma. I would recommend this to anyone and I WILL be coming back."

8/10 Good

"— Good hotel, but didn’t quite live up to the hype* Stayed here for a few nights and overall it was a solid, cute hotel in a great location. The restaurant downstairs was actually pretty good — convenient and tasty. The mattresses are not so great !!! A few things to know before you book: *The not-so-great:* When we first checked in there was a funky smell in the lobby, but credit where it’s due — two days later they had incense going at the entrance/exit and it made a big difference. Honestly they should just keep that up all the time. They’re also _very_ strict about room keys. Lose one and you’re paying for a replacement, no exceptions, so guard it with your life. Housekeeping uses an “eco clean system,” meaning they don’t clean your room daily unless you request it. It wasn’t horrible, but for what they advertise themselves to be, I expected daily service to be standard. *Random but important:* There’s a no-tattoo policy in the onsen/onesie areas, so plan accordingly if that affects you. You are directly infront of a fire station and Main Street so be prepared for some noise level. *Bottom line:* Cute property, great location, good food. If you’re okay with minimal housekeeping and strict key rules, you’ll be fine. It was good — just didn’t exceed expectations."
