Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto Shijo Karasuma

Avoid! Even for a smoker, this is your worst nightmare. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the stench of cigarette smoke, one you will become familiar with if you don’t immediately exit the hotel. The staff here are friendly and welcoming, and we checked in with them and headed to our room very quickly. We opened the door to our room, and the ever familiar smell of cigarette fumes had engulfed the room. We headed straight back downstairs to change rooms, we had inadvertently booked a smoking room so we upgraded to a non smoking room. The non smoking room was old, dirty and still had cigarette ingrained into the fabric of the building. The throw had stains, the wallpaper was peeling off and the lighting was horrific. We left and booked another hotel - there are plenty of hotels a similar price to this one which offer a much better service.

Condition of room is poor. Walls are marked and in poor condition. Slight smell in bathroom. Rooms are small even on Japan standard. Cost is high given quality of hotel. No safe which is common in most hotels. Service is okay but not great.

Good property in a nice location. Beds and pillows too hard to get a good rest.

All good

I had a very pleasant stay. The staff was really helpful and courteous. The location of the hotel is great and close to everything. Nice and clean accomodations.

Beds are a little hard, but great location and staff

We have stayed here 5 nights. It's a great place to stay and we will go back again.

良い時間を過ごせました！ ありがとうございます、また来ます！

Hotel is located 70 metres away from Shijo train station (exit 5). Using the train, the whole city of Kyoto is accessible easily. Attended a conference at the Kyoto international conference centre which was just 20mins via train. Hotel room is very small but clean and fine if you intend to spend much of the time out. Breakfast is Japanese style with very limited Western style food. Staff are helpful.

Clean and neat
