Daiwa Roynet Hotel Okinawa-Kenchomae

The hotel room was quite spacious for Japan, as we stayed in a twin room with an extra bed. The hotel breakfast was just okay, nothing particularly delicious or memorable. The location is convenient, with two convenience stores nearby.

Overall, it was decent. However, there were two major issues: 1. The room had a very strong, unpleasant odor. It was so bad that I even woke up at night because of the pungent smell. Many Japanese hotels, even older than this one, don't have such a severe, irritating odor. 2. The cleanliness in the room was really poor. The chairs and tables were completely covered in dust.

The room was clean and well-arranged, making for a comfortable stay. I enjoyed a bath every day, and there were no strange odors in the room, which was great. The front desk staff was also very welcoming. They even offer luggage weighing services. I'll definitely stay here again.

This hotel offered a super hassle-free stay with excellent value for money! The breakfast selection was incredibly rich, featuring Okinawan local specialties like Okinawa soba noodles, Blue Seal purple sweet potato ice cream, Sata Andagi (Okinawan doughnuts), and jasmine tea, providing an immersive taste of local flavors. They also had classic Western breakfast options, including croissants, buttered bread, sausages, fried eggs, coffee, and juice, satisfying both Eastern and Western palates. The room amenities were very thoughtful, equipped with pajamas, a magnifying mirror, deodorant spray, and a refrigerator – more than sufficient for a daily stay. At the front desk, you could pick up complimentary combs, body scrub towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste, face wash headbands, cotton swabs, mouthwash, and tea/coffee bags. Other toiletries needed to be brought by yourself. The location was absolutely fantastic! Right next door were Lawson and 7-Eleven convenience stores, making daily shopping super convenient. Across the street from the hotel, there was a delicious izakaya, and within a few hundred meters, you'd find all sorts of food establishments, so you'll never run out of places to eat and explore. Getting around was also incredibly easy; the meeting point for day tours was just a 300-meter walk away. You could walk to Tomari Port in 20 minutes or take a 6-minute taxi ride, making it super convenient for planning Okinawa day trips – a top choice for independent travelers.

The location is fantastic.

Taking a taxi from Naha Airport cost about 1000 yen. The front desk staff were very welcoming and even provided toiletries for the kids. We stayed in the new building, which was super convenient to get to: after checking in, you just turn right, then right again after you see Lawson, and it's a two or three-minute walk. There's a 7-Eleven right downstairs, which is very handy, and it's an easy walk to the mall and Kokusai-dori. I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Okinawa.

The hotel's location is fantastic, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The rooms are clean, bright, and well-equipped. The service is thoughtful and attentive, offering great value for money. It's very family-friendly, and overall, the experience was superb. Highly recommended!
