Daiwa Roynet Hotel Hakata - Gion in Fukuoka

Simple, clean rooms with good room amenities. Great location, next to bus stop and subway station.

Very impressed with the hotel’s room design. It's simple, spacious and thoughtfully designed for guests’ comfort. Pyjamas, shower creams, and many other travel essentials are also provided, making our stay even more convenient.
The location is excellent as Gion Station is right nearby, and Hakata Station is only about a 10-minute walk. Overall, a fantastic stay for two people. I’d rate it 9.5/10 and recommend to others!

The room was clean, the bed was a bit small, but the location was great.

Close to the metro Gion station
Beside hotel got Yayoi-ken

Facilities: The twin room was very spacious and even had a massage chair.

Service: The front desk staff spoke English, and the self check-in/check-out process was clear and easy to follow.

Location: The Gion station is not far from Hakata station on foot. This was one of the few places that offered twin rooms.

Our twin rooms were spacious even with three beds. The hotel is just next to Gion subway exit 6 which has elevator. The service is good. Breakfast is passable - would rather buy from the convenience store across the road. Only downside is that the area is not a shopping area. Better to book Hakata, Nakasu or Tenjin which are the more vibrant shopping areas

The front desk offers self-service toiletries, which is very convenient. The location is excellent, very close to attractions and the subway station. You can also get a second room card from the self-service machine at the front desk.

The front desk staff couldn't speak English; they just babbled on about something incomprehensible. They almost charged me an extra 8,000 JPY again! Ugh. The environment is good and the location is excellent though.

This hotel is conveniently located near Tocho-ji Temple and Kushida Shrine, with Gion Subway Station and a supermarket nearby, making both travel and daily life very easy. The hotel has 13 floors, and check-in and check-out are done via self-service machines with Chinese menus, which is quite convenient. Breakfast offers a choice of 5 sets, including both Japanese and Western options, which was generally satisfying. If I had to pick one downside, it would be the absence of a self-service laundry room.

First off, the location. The hotel's position is absolutely fantastic. From the Gion subway station, just take the elevator exit, go straight, then turn left, and you'll see it – it's incredibly close, truly just steps away. There’s a vertical sign outside with the hotel's name, which becomes even more noticeable when lit up at night. The surrounding area is bustling, and it's a very short walk to the shopping street and that famous shrine. Getting to Hakata, the airport, or Tenjin is super convenient, just a couple of subway stops away.

There are many great dining options around the hotel; we tried a yakiniku place that didn't disappoint. Our twin room was surprisingly spacious – a real rarity in Japan. We could easily lay out our suitcases on the floor without feeling cramped. The bedding was spotless, with no issues regarding cleanliness.

As for the price, it's definitely on the mid-to-high end, which is understandable given the prime location and generous room size, especially since we visited during the summer holidays. The front desk staff spoke both English and Japanese and were very friendly and helpful.
