Daiwa Roynet Hotel Aomori

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Aomori

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here for two nights. The hotel is conveniently located about a five-minute walk from JR Aomori Station. There are many places to eat nearby, and there is also a Lawson convenience store on the first floor. Amenities are provided in a take-what-you-need style and can be picked up when you check in. Breakfast was buffet-style, with a nice variety of continental dishes and local specialties. Everything I tried was delicious, and I definitely recommend having breakfast during your stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. There was also a trouser press in the room, which was a nice extra touch. Overall, it was a very convenient and comfortable place to stay."
