In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The 270 rooms run roughly 16-18 sqm, a bit larger than the typical Japanese business-hotel box of 13-15 sqm, though the design clearly looks older than the newer branch. Expect classic decor in beige and dark brown rather than anything sharp and modern. Every room comes with a pants press, an air purifier, a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi, and the standard Japanese bathroom has a bidet in every room plus a separate shower and tub. If you want a crisp modern look you may prefer the Taiko-dori Side branch, but on pure function the two are even.
Food and amenities
Breakfast is the standard Daiwa chain buffet, and it carries the full lineup of Nagoya local dishes just like the Taiko-dori Side branch — Miso Katsu, Hitsumabushi and Tebasaki — for about $10. The quality is on par with the newer branch, and it is worth it if you want to try the local flavours in one place. There is no gym or spa on site, so the amenity list is lean.
Location and getting there
This is the older Daiwa Roynet branch in the Nagoya station district, opened in 2008 on the Taikodori (West) side. The shinkansen exit is just a 2-minute walk away, about a minute closer than the Taiko-dori Side branch, and you can get from the shinkansen platform to the lobby in roughly 90 seconds. That makes it one of the most station-close spots in the whole area.
Things to know before booking
The design is older than the Taiko-dori Side branch, a function of the 2008 opening versus 2018, and real guest scores sit at 8.9/10 on Trip.com, a notch below the newer branch precisely because of the dated look. Breakfast is about $10 extra and not included in the rate, and there is no gym or spa. Rates start near $69 a night, roughly $6 cheaper than the newer branch.
Our take
Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nagoya Shinkansenguchi fits business travellers with an early shinkansen connection and solo trippers who want the shortest possible walk. If you are genuinely on a tight budget and do not mind the older design, picking this over the Taiko-dori Side branch saves around $6 a night, and the Daiwa House service standard is still there.
