Daiwa Roynet Hotel Hakata-Gion

Location was just a minute walk from Gion station exit 3, with a direct connection to Tenjin station and Fukuoka airport Domestic Terminal (for International Terminal it is a shuttle bus ride further), or a 15-20 mins away by taxi (about ¥2000). Room was a bit dated like many of Japanese hotels but very clean(!) All amenities were present in room or available at the front desk. Room size (18m2) is on the bigger side for Japanese definition and the bathroom size was okay for us but I can imagine it being on the smaller side for others. No Netflix streaming service available but we were able to connect our Prime Video with the tv. Adjacent to the hotel is a Yayoiken restaurant, where they served a decent breakfast till 10am for hotel guests. After 10am it’s open for everyone till 02:30 am. Within a few mins walking from the hotel there are about 2-3 24hrs convenience stores and Canal City is a 10 min walk away. It was the perfect hotel for our stay!

The location is great and lots of parking lot and restaurants around the hotel. we tried the lunch just located at the 1st floor of the hotel, it was great!

Easy and quick checkin. A slightly older hotel which has been well maintained. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The location basically next door to the airport line subway station makes access to and from the airport quick and easy. It is also a short walk over to both old Hakata town and the modern Canal City shopping centre.

I really enjoyed the cleanliness and quietness of the room, I couldn’t hear my neighbours which was great. The staff were so helpful and accomodating, I accidentally booked a smoking room and they were able to easily change us to a non smoking room which was a game changer as the smoking rooms had a really strong smell.

Great location nearby Main Street and temples. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Clean room and tub.
