Room is clean and the location is within 7 minutes walk to Kyoto station, which has the JR, the Shinkansen and the local subway. The bus terminal is also nearby so getting around is super easy. We got the executive room, which is spacious and has a private entry where you can put shoes and small luggage. There is even a massage chair in the room! The hotel is also connected to the underground so there is no worry about getting wet in the rain. There is an escalator and an elevator that take you from the underground up to the floor of the hotel lobby. There is a Don Quijote with a minute walk, and the food options between the hotel and Kyoto station are plenty. Kyoto tower is with a minute walk. The Yodabashi building next to the hotel has a grocery market in the basement, and a large electronics store where you can get batteries, power adapters, and other electronics. The hotel even has washer/dryers on Level 2 for you to do some quick laundry (cost between 100 yen to 500 yen depending on whether you are washing or drying or both). The nice thing is you can check the status of the machines from the TV in your room! You also do not need to bring your detergent or washing powder!

No complaints.

My stay at Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto Ekimae PREMIER was excellent. The staff were exceptionally helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable. The room was spotless and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. The hotel's location, just a short walk from Kyoto Station, is incredibly convenient for exploring the city. I will definitely return on my next visit to Kyoto!

Location is excellent. The B2 level connects to the subway that can access the Porta dining and shopping areas. It also connects to the subway station (Haruka airport express train) So you can literally go shopping, eating, subway station WITHOUT walking on the street level. It's pretty cool. You can also access the Yodobashi building (right next to the hotel) which has floors of electronics, top floors of dining and shopping and basement floor for supermarket. This supermarket sells stuff a lot cheaper than the other supermarket at Isetan. The only downside is it only takes cash. It's the typical 4 star rating Japanese hotel: staffs are professional, rooms are super clean, and location is probably the best of all I've been to at Kyoto. Remember there are (2) Daiwa Roynet Hotels by the Kyoto station. This one is the higher end one I believe because it has the word "premier" at the end.

Absolutely nothing.

The breakfast buffet was an add on cost I paid for at registration and I'm glad, as it was incredible, it had a huge variety of food. There was eggs, sausage, bacon , pancakes, a salad bar, yogurt bar, miso soup , curry chicken, rice, congee, juices, coffee,tea,milk, cereal, toast and lots more. The hotel is a short walk to the train station, and has underground bright clean safe huge tunnel walkway to the station and the giant store before the station. Staff were all so nice. Bathroom is big by Japanese standard and bigger than mine in the USA

Liked the location as it was near the train station and shopping area. We just pushed our bags from the station to the hotel. Room was a good size and clean. Lobby was clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the amenities that we could pick up at the lobby especially the kids amenity bag. It was also a short walk to the oldest wooden temple in Kyoto, the Higashi Hongan-ji Temple. We booked 2 rooms and they placed us conveniently next to one another so I could easily check up on my children.

The stairs going down to the lobby had many steps as I require a cane to support my walking. The side ramp was long and a little bit steep for me.

Comfortable, pleasant and clean room, although small. (twin room). Easy access to Kyoto station for regular train lines and local buses - just a short walk either underground or above ground. Availability of washer-driers. Staff were polite and helpful

While we'd read it was a '4min walk from station', it's quite a bit further to the Shinkansen lines (ie inter-city bullet trains) so just plan for that. It was very hard to find our way from the Shinkansen to the hotel via the underground route. Take care which exit you take! We found correct route the next day and was easier and about 12min or so. It would be quite helpful if the hotel provided details on this route (ie Shinkansen lines to hotel) on its website or booking confirmation.

Nothing really, its Japan, rooms are small but comfortable and breakfast was ok.

Great location near train station. Wonderful range of products available for use in your room - including Twinnings tea. Good having bath and shower to use. Breakfast had a range of food choices so could start the day with a full stomach. Really appreciated having cupboard space and a larger sized safe in the room. Multiple coin washer/dryers but try to use in the middle of the day between sight seeing trips to avoid the rush or missing out, as very popular. Hotel was able to loan an umbrella so didn’t need to buy one and carry it around. Would happily stay again.

The location was close to the train station, bank and starbucks. It was easy to get around & get cash when needed. The room was a twin and very good size. We loved the pajamas! Super fun. The shower was amazing and unique with how the shower was outside of the tub. Great water pressure and hot was hot and cold was cold. The breakfast was really good. Lots of options. Beds were comfortable and the window blinds were true to Japanese style. We had plenty of room for our luggage and lots of hooks to hang items. The laundry room was a good size with easy access. I like how you don't need to worry about soap (its automatic). Oh, the mirror has a heated section so it doesn't steam up! We would highly recommend this hotel.

Nothing

Great location, very close to the Kyoto main train station and bus stop that goes to most of the attractions. Really good that the hotel is connect to the Kyoto train station by underground malls and walkways so you can walk all the way to the train station without going through traffic and weather. The room is bit old but got all the essentials and is very clean. Friendly staff that are always happy to help.

The hotel and room are slightly old, but it functions well and got all the technologies and essentials.
