Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto-Shijokarasuma

Super hotel, Nice room clean and tidy. Service is totally top water is waiting in your room when you arrive. Second day towels exchanged and on return clean towels and again 2 bottles of water. Friendly people who want to help you. Conclusion totally top.

I've been staying here several times. It's been well renovated, but it's a little old-fashioned (it looks like you're renovating the lower floors now, but will you be renovating everything?). Other than that, it's Daiwa Roynet as expected. The staff are also smiling, kind and pleasant. There's also a good variety of breakfasts. Amenities are also available. Casting and mirroring are also possible. The best part is the smoking room. We will use it again.

Would I come again? Yes, if the price is right again. Location 5 Cleanliness 4 Room Design 4 Service 4 Location Watched quite a lot of YouTube to find this is the district you want to be if you want proximity to the shopping area. And it is spot on! Though I was doubtful when I arrived with luggage from the metro. Was quite a bit of walk and stairs from exit 5. (Said that Exit 4 has elevator but it is further away.) Cleanliness There is obvious wear off in the room (by rough use and / or fragile material of deco) and an obvious spot of mold in the basin (i used the provided handwash bottle to hide it from my sight). There are some stains or dirt that you can see in room. But acceptable as a 3-star hotel. (Though it is pricey anyway.) There is no bad smell in the room. There was a bit of sewage smell when I first arrived, but it has been fine after I kept the bathroom door open. At the lobby, I could smell cigarettes every time I walked in...Not so comfortable. Luckily the elevator is close enough. Room design Good lighting, electric sockets, desk big enough for writing and eating, humidifier (Pro is that it has water in it! Cons is that it shows it needs to be cleaned...), facial tissue , has room for 21 inch luggage to open, good-sized TV (but no youtube, netflix but CNN, NHK etc) Additional scores It provides DHC skin care, kettle ( I didn't use though) , hand drip coffee packets, and bottle of water delivered to room if you ask for room cleaning service.
