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

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.

no public bath (but free bathing/onsen salts are available)

the hotel is conveniently located close to many attractions in the city. the service was good. the staff delivered the extra clothes hangers to our room so we don't need to go down to pick it up

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.

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

This hotel was in a great location in Morioka. Restaurants and shops a 1 minute walk. Rooms big by Japanese standards. Staff were extremely helpful.

The check-in system is a bit weird. You approach the reception desk to fill out forms (contact information, etc), and then you are asked to proceed to a machine to find out your room number and receive room keys. I never understood why the concierge would not do that during check-in in person. It would have been better if it can be done in one shot.

The staff was very polite just like any other standard Japanese hotel. The location is very good with access to small stores and restaurants in the center of the city. The room cleaning was very good. The best part was coffee, tea, and bath salt service in the lobby.

Nice relaxing lobby. The room was very comfortable and the personnel very friendly. Also nice location in the center of Morioka.

Too far from JR station

Lobby was very roomy and had nice drip coffee.

15 to 20 minutes to walk to train station. Typical small Japanese hotel room. No soy milk for breakfast, more limited selections for vegetarians, worse for vegans.

Small room but layout was space efficient. Breakfast had good variety. Self service coin operated laundromat was convenient.

The bed was good. The curtain blocked the sun properly. Temperature was comfortable.

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.

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.

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

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.

Location & staff!

Remember there are two Daiwa Roynet hotels: one close to station, other is 15 minutes away. I was staying at the later. A little far to the station. As long as you don't have to travel back and forth a lot in one day then it's manageable. There are lots to feast for the eye along the way. The bed was big enough for three but missing one pillow -- we didn't ask tho.

Massage chair! Wide genkan area to spread open our suitcases. Very close to the shotengai. Close to the former castle complex.

The location was good, not too far from the train station. The value is really good, it was cheap and very clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly! I would stay here again!

Stayed in August 2021

No real negatives, not as nice as the Aomori Daiwa Roynet we stayed at a few days prior though. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

Breakfast was good, not crowded so that was very nice. Hotel staff was courteous and very accomodating, going out of their way to get us a parking place near to the hotel. Location is great, many nice places to eat near the hotel.

Parking are around the hotel, and location can only be found on the Japanese website, would be good to have them while booking or on the English website

Typical Daiwa Roynet : clean, recent Descent size of the room in Japanese standards

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.

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
