Daiwa Roynet Properties in Naha

✅ The hotel is right at the entrance of Makishi Station, making its location absolutely superb. It's a 1-minute walk via an overhead bridge, so you barely even need to be in the sun – super convenient! ✅ Downstairs, there are two convenience stores and a large supermarket. All sorts of dining options are available nearby, with plenty of restaurants to choose from. One evening, we went to explore the big supermarket and found many discounted items. We bought sushi, rice balls, salad, yogurt, milk, and drinks – all very affordable. ✅ The room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Although the bathroom wasn't a three-piece separation, it didn't feel cramped, and all the toiletries were provided. ✅ From 1 PM to 9 PM daily, the lobby offers complimentary iced drinks, including coffee, tea, and juice. It was so refreshing to come back after a day out in the summer heat and grab a drink. ✅ Breakfast was plentiful. We specifically woke up early one day to enjoy it, and they even had takeaway service afterwards!

Conveniently located, about a 10-minute walk from the station after taking the Yui Rail monorail from the airport. However, it's about 2 kilometers to Kokusai Street, which is a bit of a distance to walk, costing around 800 JPY by taxi. The biggest advantage is its proximity to DFS; you can just wake up and go shopping. There's also a mall directly across the street, making dining very convenient. There are two Daiwa Roynet Hotels Premiere nearby, so when taking a taxi, tell the driver it's the one with a 7-Eleven downstairs. The lobby offers complimentary coffee and skincare samples. If you need room cleaning, you must place the cleaning sign on your door before 10 AM; otherwise, cleaning service won't be provided. The bathroom features a three-part design with a bathtub. Overall, the location is good – quiet yet central – and it's very clean and comfortable.

The hotel room was quite spacious, and you could pick up amenities like toothbrushes and facial cleansers from the lobby. Breakfast on the top floor was delicious and offered great views. The location is very close to DFS, which is convenient if you've booked a day tour, as you can choose the DFS pick-up point instead of going all the way to Kenchomae, which is usually much more crowded. For those sensitive to cigarette smoke, definitely avoid smoking rooms. We accidentally booked one, and the smell was quite strong. Luckily, the hotel had availability and moved us to a non-smoking floor for our last two days 🙏

The hotel's location is excellent, and the annex rooms are very new, with a 7-Eleven right downstairs. It's very close to the Prefectural Office Station, and Kokusai Dori is also within walking distance. The room size isn't small for Japan; you can open two suitcases. However, the service is mediocre because the front desk is usually unattended for self-checkout, making it hard to find help when needed.
