Daiwa Roynet Hotel Hachinohe

Daiwa is quite a reliable brand so as per all Daiwa hotels, for this hotel, 1) the room is very clean and not too small 2) the staff are very helpful and polite. In fact, the intern who served me on that day was very helpful and polite too. He helped me call the restaurant to confirm my booking reservation. The full time staff are always stationed there to assist if needed. The funny thing is that they will greet every time the lift opens at the reception floor (the lift always stops at the reception floor) 3) the staff can understand English 4) wide variety of good amenities. This hotel even provides onsen powder 5) Coin washing machines available. However, they are usually not used :D. Not sure if people are not aware of it or not many tourists visiting the tohoku area. 6) great location. It is near hon-hachinohe station, hachinohe port museum and miroku yorocho. The bus stop to sunday morning market is 3min walk away. 7) bed is comfortable 8) convenience store downstairs In addition, the bathtub is big

The service is efficient and excellent. The rooms are clean and well equipped, albeit small (but that's expected in all city hotels in Japan). The buffet breakfast was delightful considering the reasonable room rate. There's a good variety of Japanese and local Hachinohe breakfast delights. We had dinner at the same restaurant, and it served good and decently priced Izakaya fare.

Located on a main street, the hotel is within walking distance to shops, restaurants and bus stations. It even has a convenient store downstairs - great for evening snacks! The staffs was very professional, friendly and helpful. The amenities on offer were pretty good too.

- The hotel is located on a main street served by many local bus routes; the nearest JR station is about a 10-minute walk - It is not far from the Tatehana Wharf where the morning market is located - The room was spacious and big for a Japanese hotel and the washroom was clean - The property has a laundry room with three washing/drying machines. You can pay by cash or IC card and the wash includes detergent. You can also monitor the status of the laundry machines from your room TV. - The staff is very friendly and at least one (during our stay) spoke English - After checking in, you pay for your room at the machines on the side. It is quite straight forward. This is also where you check-out (at the self-serve machine). You will return the room key there and it is not necessary to speak to anyone to process the check-out. - There is a Lawson on the ground floor. - The wi-fi was strong and internet speeds were fast.

Comfortable room was a reasonable size with a typically compact bathroom. The mattress was very hard as we're the pillows however you can obtain various alternative (soft) pillows from reception. Breakfast was good, mainly Japanese food however no cereal. The reception staff were very helpful.
