The hotel looks new and clean. The staff (especially the front desk guy who facilitated our check-in) was very accommodating, nice and friendly. Overall, we had a really nice stay in this hotel. Thank you very much.

The only thing that caught us off guard is the location. This is not the hotel's fault of course. There are two Daiwa Roynet Hotels in Morioka, one is near the station, Daiwa Roynet Hotel Morioka Ekimae, and the other is this one which is a bit farther away (around 800 meters from the station). We went to the Daiwa Roynet Hotel near the station, but the staff there were also very nice enough to teach us the right way to go to this hotel. So overall it was still a nice experience. We used a taxi upon check-out and it only costed us around JPY850 to the train station.

It was clean and beautiful, in a good location, close to shops and bars/ restaurants. About 1km walk from the train station.

I don’t like the self- service check in/ out. Staff did kindly help us with this, but I would always prefer face to face reception interaction. Importantly, It also helps keep staff in jobs! I also didn’t like that the hotel name was confusing - we thought we were booked into the other Daiwa Hotel, and although it has the physical sign on the building that’s says “Daiwa hotel” it was actually “Daiwa Morioka Eki-Mae”. Of course we went there first, thinking that was our hotel, which was both an inconvenience and disappointing.

Our stay was comfortable and the location was close to the station. Please remember there are two Daiwa hotels in the same city, so you need to check the location clearly! EDIT: I had previously complained about additional charges over the booking amount. But that was due to my misunderstanding. Booking.com had charged only for people over 16 years, but the hotel considers 15 year olds as adults. I missed that information.

Staff were wonderful and extremely helpful in helping getting my luggage forwarded onto another hotel. The room was fairly spacious for a solo traveller, and the amenities bar in the lobby was well stocked. Plenty wash and tumledryers too. Bed was a little hard for my tastes but still perfectly reasonable for sleeping. Location is about a 20minute walk from Morioka station but located centrally for many dining establishments and morioka sights

Clean room, a modern looking bathroom BS TV Price was really good for a nice clean room like we had. In the middle of the city so good access to restaurants etc. I liked their eco policy where you just collect the things amenities you want rather than having everything put in the room. It leads to less waste. They have microwaves on a couple of floors if you need to heat something up.

There was a whirring sound until just after 6am that bothered me. (fridge and air con were switched off) If noise bothers you, just bring earplugs. Staff were there but check-in and check-out were .by machine. At regular hotels staff say ありがとうございました when you leave but the staff just stood at the reception not really noticing us although they looked pretty free? I thought it was strange. The car park was a 1 minute walk, but the pedestrian exit was hard to spot at first and involved going down a number of stone steps which might cause problems for those with mobility issues. The car park cost 1,100yen extra.

The hotel is 15-minute walk from Morioka Station, but I'm so glad I chose this hotel. From Morioka Station, you should go to the north exit. To get to the hotel, you will go over a bridge, across Kitakami river, and the scenery is just spectacular. The area is very central with a lot of restaurants and shops. The room size is good compared to other hotels in Japan. I love breakfast here too.

A lovely room with a very comfortable bed. The location if the hotel is ideal for seeing the major sights, and its proximity to the station. The manager went beyond his duty when we had a medical event and the ambulance needed to be called. All the staff had limited English, so his help was much appreciated.

Only a ten-fifteen walk from the station - don’t get confused with another Daiwa Roynet right next to the station like I did! Room was quiet and comfortable, it was just a one night stay on the way from Tokyo to Sapporo so it did its job.

My bed light didn’t work, but I couldn’t be bothered to go downstairs and tell anyone. Otherwise it was fine.

The hotel was close to the rock-splitting cherry tree and Iwate Park. Breakfast was delicious and decent in terms of Muslim-friendliness - the grilled mackerel was delicious (assuming it didn't contain mirin). Check out was quite fast.

The train station wasn't too far away but still required some walking. The window didn't have shutters IIRC.

The staff at the reception was very helpful, both at the check-in (I had mistakenly booked a room for smokers and they changed it to a non-smoking room) and when I needed to print some documents from the computer in the lobby. The room was very spacious and I also appreciated the laundromat service.

It had a bit of an impersonal feel, but I guess it is more of a business kind of hotel
