Daiwa Roynet hotels are an upscale chain of business hotels that offer their guests both comfortable accommodation and consistently excellent service. Daiwa Roynet Hotel KYOTO-HACHIJYOGUCHI is very well placed for Kyoto Station, being only about a 4-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station’s Hachijo East Exit on the Shinkansen side.
Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto-Hachijoguchi opened in 2010 and has 192 rooms over 7 floors
The south side of the station is especially convenient for travelers using Kintetsu Railways, shinkansen bullet trains, or airport limousine bus services for Kansai International Airport and Osaka Itami Airport. The hotel is also around a 6-minute walk from Kyoto Municipal Subway’s Kyoto Station and from Kintetsu Kyoto Station. For business travelers Kyoto Terrsa conference center is only a short walk away, and sightseers will be glad to know that UNESCO World Heritage Site Toji Temple is also nearby. However, those travelers who would prefer to stay in Kyoto city center, might be interested to know that there is another centrally located branch of this chain: Daiwa Roynet Hotel KYOTO-SHIJYOKARASUMA.

Security
The Daiwa Roynet group of hotels place a heavy emphasis on cleanliness, hospitality and security. For the sake of the guests’ peace of mind, the main entrance of the hotel is locked at midnight until 6:00 am the following morning. During these hours, guests can use their room key cards to reenter the building, and arriving guests can use the entrance intercom so staff can confirm their reservation name. Elevators to the guest-room floors also require card-key access.
