Daiwa Roynet Hotel KYOTO-EKIMAE PREMIER

The property is cozy and the room was super cute. Although it was fairly small, we managed to get around just fine even with carry-ons, backpacks, and two large suitcases. The staff are extremely kind. Despite the language barrier, they tried in every way to help and understand us. Whenever we needed clean towels, water, and toothbrushes, we just had to leave a tag on the door by 10 a.m. and we’d find a bag hanging on the door handle with a complete clean set. Alternatively, you can use the sign to have your room made up, and they'll tidy everything up and change all the amenities. The bathroom is equipped with every comfort—we loved the shower products for their lovely scent—and there are several useful items in the room (such as a hairdryer, mirror, etc.). You can also have your luggage delivered to the property (we shipped ours from Osaka) and send them on to your next destinations. My partner and I had such a wonderful stay that we're sad to leave both Kyoto and this hotel. Highly recommended!

The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I found the hotel easily by following the detailed underground route from Kyoto Station provided by another guest. The service was excellent, especially the 'non-intrusive yet immediately responsive when needed' style, which I really appreciated. The location is superb, just a few minutes from Kyoto Station, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. Kyoto Station's Porta shopping complex is large and great for browsing, and beyond that is Isetan. Yodobashi Camera is even closer, and Don Quijote is also nearby, making it perfect for shopping, eating, and exploring. There's a paid laundry room which is clean and convenient. All in all, I highly recommend it. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Kyoto.

The hotel is seamlessly connected to the Kyoto Station North underground mall, and you can take a bus directly to various famous attractions in the city. Yodobashi Camera, Don Quijote, and Higashi Honganji Temple are all super close. Breakfast is served on the second floor at a Vietnamese restaurant, offering more variety than the usual Japanese or Western breakfast.

This was my first time choosing Rinn, so let me start with the pros: 1. **Convenient Location:** It's very close to JR Kyoto Station, just a five-minute walk, and the hotel is connected to the subway. 2. **Breakfast Variety:** The breakfast is mainly Japanese, with slight adjustments daily and a good selection of dishes. 3. **Amenities on Demand:** Disposable amenities are available for pickup on the first floor. They offer facial cleanser, toner, lotion, and body milk, from brands like Sekkisei and DHC. 4. **Excellent Service:** My backpack broke, so I asked the front desk for a sewing kit. The staff member personally delivered it to my room and then came back to retrieve it once I was done. 5. **Dining & Shopping Nearby:** There are many restaurants close to the hotel, and Yodobashi Camera is right next door. 6. **Quiet Room:** Although the hotel faces the street, which initially made me a bit concerned, the room I was assigned wasn't facing the road, so it was very quiet. I slept wonderfully and didn't even need the earplugs I brought. 7. **Reasonable Room Size:** The room size was decent; I could open a medium-sized suitcase without blocking the walkway. Now for the cons: 1. **Limited Amenity Availability:** The disposable amenities are not available 24/7. They weren't put out after breakfast when I left, and if I returned late at night, I couldn't get them either. This was very inconvenient for someone like me who leaves early and comes back late. I had to call and bother a staff member to bring them, which wasn't ideal. 2. **Missing Amenities:** I was surprised the hotel didn't provide shower caps or face masks. I hadn't expected that and had to buy them separately. Overall, I'm quite satisfied and would choose this hotel again for my next trip.

The location is great, and the service and amenities are better than expected. The breakfast restaurant isn't too crowded, which makes it comfortable.

Excellent location for shopping, dining, and getting around. While the room is small, the thoughtful design and attention to detail meet all basic needs, making it a top-tier comfortable hotel.

This is a great hotel, conveniently located very close to JR Kyoto Station, accessible via an underground pass. It's super easy to get to Arashiyama, Fushimi Inari, Osaka, or catch the Shinkansen to Tokyo. Public buses and the subway are also readily accessible. The room was much larger than those I've stayed in in Tokyo and Osaka, and it was clean and well-maintained. Breakfast was also plentiful, and the staff were warm and polite. I was very satisfied with my stay! Highly recommend!

This hotel is incredibly convenient, just a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station. It's very clean overall, and they even upgraded my room. The breakfast was also excellent. I'd definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Kyoto!

The hotel is very close to Kyoto Station, making it incredibly convenient for visiting all the attractions. The rooms are very clean, and they provide toiletries, which is a nice touch. The staff's attitude is also excellent. Next door is Yodobashi Camera, and the supermarket downstairs has great items, with fresh ingredients and very reasonable prices.
