Daiwa Roynet Hotel Matsue Ekimae

I stayed here for a one-night trip home.　Since it only opened in August, it’s no surprise that the facilities and rooms are spotless, but I can’t remember the last time I was able to relax this much at a city hotel. My family also said things like “I don’t want to go home yet” and “If we can stay in a room like this for this price, this can be our regular hotel,” so having a raised area where you can take off your shoes and unwind really makes a difference.　The bathroom was spacious and relaxing, and breakfast was great too—I enjoyed being able to sample lots of different dishes in small bowls. It would be even more convenient if there were water dispensers and ice machines on higher floors as well.　I have almost no complaints, but if I had to mention one, it’s that there aren’t many rooms like this, so they’re often fully booked. If more rooms with the raised shoe-free area could be added (though renovations may be difficult since it just opened), I think it would become an even more satisfying hotel for both business and leisure travelers. Also, the price differences depending on timing and dates can be quite large. This time, though, I was very satisfied to be able to relax in this room at this price.It’s likely to become my top choice as a regular place to stay when visiting home again.　Thank you very much.

We stayed under the Grand Opening Commemorative Plan in a Superior Twin for JPY 8,765 per person (two guests). Being new (clean and spotless) really made our stay stress-free. We went to Matsue Castle for dinner, so it was a bit of a walk, but we’d like to stay here again whenever we visit Matsue for the time being.Although it’s right by the station, the location is quiet. The parking was properly secured as well (multi-story parking), which was great.One highlight for us was the in-room bath: while it’s in the same space as the toilet, it has a washing area and a spacious tub. We brought our favorite bath salts and enjoyed a very relaxing soak. The women’s large public bath was also spacious and included a sauna, which we were very satisfied with (though there’s no view).Amenities were minimal, as is common these days, but the loungewear was two-piece—likely cotton on top and synthetic fabric on the bottom. Water is provided via a water dispenser that you go to fill yourself (a bit inconvenient for us), just for reference.
