I decided to stay at “Daiwa Roynet Hotel Kyoto Ekimae,” because I have a point card fo this hotel. It is near Kyoto Station which is very convenient when you have a lot of luggage. Yodobashi Camera is right next to the hotel as well.

The hotel is luxurious and very beautiful. The wooden board at the entrance was a design you often see in Kyoto.
There is a police station located on the first floor of the hotel.
Entrance
The door is closed at night, so there was a key slot and an intercom at the entrance.
There was a long corridor leading to the lobby.
The lobby had a very nice atmosphere with a high ceiling.
Magazines and new papers were prepared.
The font desk was right next to the lobby.
There were three staff standing at the front desk, so check-in went very smoothly.

What is the Superior Twin Elegant Room like?
Guest room entrance door
The room was new and very comfortable to spend time in.
The bed was spacious and clean. The mattress felt nice on my back as well. There was also a table next to the bed with an alarm set on top.
There was an outlet in between the two beds.
There was a TV and a desk across the bed.
The desk may not be suitable for guests staying on a business trip.
The TV was big.
There was a telephone, memo set, tissue, accessory tray, tea set and a bottle of water on the desk.
Phone chargers
Air purifier
The sofa was big and comfortable to sit and lie down on.
There was a window with a shoji screen. There was a light shining down on the sofa next to the window.
Unfortunately, the view from the window was not the best. I could only see the buildings next door. However, the windows were cleaned very well.

Staff and Guests
The staff seemed new at their job, but they were very friendly. When I asked for a taxi they were happy to call one for me.
Since it was a weekend, I saw many couples staying at this hotel. It may be a hotel popular with tourists visiting from oversees as well.

Access
Since the hotel is located on the opposite side of the Shinkansen entrance/exit, it has quite a distance after getting off the Shinkansen or airport shuttle bus. However, the downtown areas such as Shijo are on the hotel side, so it is more convenient to be on this side in my opinion. The hotel is connected with the station with an underpass, so it is convenient when the weather is bad.
A police station on the 1st floor of the hotel.
Kyoto Tower is nearby.
It is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel to Higashi Honganji Temple.

Summary
I would definitely love to stay here again. I have no complaints about the room itself (bed, shower, toilet). It is very clean and comfortable to stay in. You can watch CNN because there are many guests staying from overseas. It is also within walking distance from the station, you can arrive without getting wet even if it rains. Convenience stores and Yodobashi Cameras is nearby which is also very convenient. Furthermore, unlike the Hachijo exit, you can walk around Kyoto’s attractions easily even if you are busy with work and enjoy Kyoto during your free time. The staff seemed like they had lack of experience with their job, but they were all very friendly and pleasant to interact with.
