Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kumamoto

Hotel room is abit small but very clean. Parking area is opposite of hotel which you have to cross the bridge. Breakfast in hotel serves Japanese style , has not much varieties of western food. Hotel is close to Kumamoto Castle which is within walking distance.

Located near the typical destinations for tourists, all within walking distance. Amenities are located in a common floor, which is slightly inconvenient as has to be self serviced. overall a good stay!

The location is very good. It is very close to either the Kumamoto Castle or the Ginza Dori; The staff is polite and sincere; Room is tidy and neat; The only disadvantage is hotel doesn’t have their own carpark. Fortunately, there are many carpark nearby.

The hotel is situated next to a tram station but more importantly, within close proximity to Kumamoto castle and Sakura Machi, so sightseeing and grabbing dinner was no trouble. However, consider not travelling to this hotel with luggage on a tram since I found the experience quite gruelling. Trams in Kumamoto are not exactly designed for tourists carrying hefty luggage. The staff spoke very decent English in the realm of Japanese hotels. The rooms spotlessly clean and sizeable also in terms of Japan. The only downside is that there is no bathhouse but this is much compensated by the spacious bathroom with a roomy bathtub and a rainfall shower. All in all, the only thing you have to ponder upon is whether you would be travelling to this hotel with luggage on the tram. Otherwise, this is a perfect location to stay in Kumamoto! (A photo of the whole room is not uploaded since my friend is in it!)

Great location, walking distance to many eateries, shopping and Kumamoto Castle. Accessible by the city tram from JR Kumamoto station

It is just next to the tram station & within walking distance to Kumamoto Castle!
