Daiwa Roynet Hotel Himeji

We arrived by train and easily walked to the hotel with large wheeled bags. The lobby and staff were welcoming. We had a standard triple room, that was clean, comfortable, and had an exceptional bathroom. The view of the Himeji Castle from the 13th floor was breathtaking. It was nice to have a small banquette and table in the room. The area around the hotel was inviting and walkable, and it is adjacent to a shopping street. We chose to include the breakfast buffet and it was well worth it. There were many options and the even though it was busy, the food was well stocked and there were enough stations it was never too crowded. They stowed our luggage after checkout, and it was a lovely walk from the hotel to the castle The lobby was a nice rest stop after visiting the castle and before heading to the train station with our luggage.

Clean with a convenient location. Ability to see when washers were available on the TV and when your load was finished. Conveniently located breakfast buffet with western and asian dishes. Great housekeeping protocols and service.

+We got the top floor and great views of the castle at day and at night. Which was beyond nice. +Great staff, smooth check in. +Central location and it is easy to walk to the castle. That's why you come here, isn't it? Train is close by, shopping is close by, it's all good...

We just loved our stay. The hotel appears relatively new. Clean, bright bedrooms. Very quiet overnight. Spacious by Japanese standards. The front desk staff are exceptionally helpful, going out of their way to assist on a couple of occasions. Excellent location about 7 minutes flat walk to the railway station and 15 minutes to the castle and gardens. Bed a little on the firm side for us but otherwise definitely no complaints. Highly recommended.

I had never stayed at a hotel from this chain and was surprised by the very high level it delivered for the cost. The room was relatively spacious (especially the bathroom) with a clear view of the Himeji castle. The hotel itself is beautiful and is located perfectly between the train station and the castle, allowing for easy access to both. The staff were very professional and courteous.
