Tokyo Luxury Escape: Daiwa Roynet Nishishinjuku PREMIER Hotel Review!
Tokyo Luxury Escape: Daiwa Roynet Nishishinjuku PREMIER - My Real Deal Review (and the Verdict!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Tokyo, and let me tell you, finding a decent hotel in Shinjuku is like navigating the Shibuya crossing blindfolded – exhilarating and potentially disastrous. But, thankfully, I landed at the Daiwa Roynet Nishishinjuku PREMIER, and the experience was… well, let’s just say it’s got me thinking about extending my visa. Here’s the real, unfiltered truth, not just the PR fluff, about this place.
First Impressions & All That Jazz (aka Accessibility & Security - The Boring But Important Stuff)
Alright, let's rip the band-aid off: Accessibility. Look, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I appreciate a hotel that thinks about it. And Daiwa Roynet PREMIER actually does! They've got elevators, and facilities for disabled guests. Bonus points for actually showing me the designated rooms when I asked, not just pointing me to a vague webpage (been there, done that, felt cheated).
Security? They've got it locked down tighter than a sumo wrestler's grip on a rice ball. CCTV in common areas and outside property. It's reassuring, though I do sometimes feel like I'm being watched while I shove down a late-night convenience store snack. 24-hour front desk, security and check-in/out. I am not a night owl, but the peace of mind is worth its weight in gold. And hey, there's even a fire extinguisher in the hall. They’re covering all bases. The non-smoking rooms were a massive plus, no more sleeping in nicotine-scented sheets!
The Room: My Little Tokyo Palace? (Plus or Minus the Space)
Let's be honest, Tokyo hotel rooms are notorious for being… cozy. My room at the Daiwa Roynet PREMIER was definitely not a ballroom, but it was surprisingly well-designed. Air conditioning? Check. Thank the gods, because that Tokyo humidity is a beast. Blackout curtains? Hallelujah! Slept like a log. Free Wi-Fi in the room? (And everywhere, they shout!) Absolutely essential for a social media addict like myself. I actually did some work here, which is a first for me . The desk was actually usable, not some flimsy folding table, bless! I was also surprised to see a refrigerator – perfect for stashing those delicious Japanese snacks and, you know, the inevitable leftover sake.
The bathroom was compact but efficient. Separate shower/bathtub was a luxury; I'm a soaker. Free toiletries, a hairdryer and provided bathrobes and slippers – all those little touches that make me feel bougie – were present and accounted for. All the little things, like coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, extra long bed made the stay even more comfortable.
The Downside (Let’s be Real): Space is a commodity, guys, and the room, despite its smart design, was still… compact. Don’t come expecting to do cartwheels. But hey, you're in Tokyo! You're supposed to be out exploring, not hanging out in your room all day, right? Also, I forgot and left my chargers, so I had to call to ask for an additional toilet which was a hassle.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Occasional Disappointment)
Okay, food. This is where things get a little… complicated.
Breakfast – The Asian breakfast was genuinely great, with a proper selection of delicious dishes. They also had Western breakfast options, so you're not stuck with just miso soup and rice. But it's a buffet – and that can be hit or miss. The first morning was amazing, the second one? Meh. The coffee was lukewarm, and the pastries tasted like they’d been brought in from another planet. Not what you would expect from a luxury hotel. Though one perk was breakfast takeaway service, and room service [24-hour].
Restaurants: They have several restaurants. The coffee shop was a good place to stop for a break. I was able to try a few desserts in the restaurant. Also, a bar.
Dining/Drinking/Snacking Notes:
Drinks: They are serving bottles of water.
Hygiene & Sanitization – Keeping It Clean(ish)
Cleanliness and safety are HUGE, I mean, come on, it’s everyone’s concern these days. Daiwa Roynet PREMIER is definitely trying. Anti-viral cleaning products are used, and they do daily disinfection in common areas. The front desk offers plenty of Hand sanitizer. There are small things, such as individually-wrapped food options and safe dining setup, to make the guests feel safer. They also have a Hygiene certification! So you can relax about this matter.
Things to Do (Or, How I Wasted a Morning Intentionally)
Okay, this is where the "PREMIER" part supposedly kicks in.
- Gym/fitness: I tried the fitness center. I say "tried" because I'm more of a "sit-on-the-sofa-and-eat-Pocky" kind of vacationer. But hey, it had treadmills and weights, so if you're into that, you're set.
- Spa/sauna: The sauna was a highlight. Steaming away the jet lag felt fantastic.
- Pool with view They have a swimming pool [outdoor].
Services & Conveniences – The Little Extras That Make a Difference
Here's where Daiwa Roynet PREMIER really shines. Daily housekeeping was efficient and friendly. Laundry service. Concierge: The staff was helpful, they really seemed dedicated to helping guests. Also, currency exchange.
Cashless payment service – crucial! Meeting/banquet facilities, Food delivery, Luggage storage. And for those who like to be fancy, they will also offer you valet parking if you have a car.
The Verdict (After All This Rambling)
Look, the Daiwa Roynet Nishishinjuku PREMIER isn't perfect. No hotel is. But it delivers on its promises: clean, comfortable, and well-located. It's a great base for exploring Tokyo, especially if you want to be close to Shinjuku Station. Is it a five-star experience? Probably not. But it's a damn good, solid, and convenient four-star, and I’d definitely stay there again. Value for money? Absolutely.
Would I recommend it? YES! If you're looking for a good hotel with great service, in a convenient location, the Daiwa Roynet PREMIER is absolutely worth considering.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your sparkling, sanitized travel brochure. This is me, wrestling with jet lag and a slightly malfunctioning translation app, trying to make sense of Tokyo from the comfy confines of the Daiwa Roynet Hotel Nishishinjuku PREMIER. Let's do this… and god help us both.
TOKYO TRIP: Operation "Find the Noodles" - My Attempted Survival Guide
Day 1: Arrival & The Sushi Struggle
Morning (5:00 AM - Technically still night, ugh): Landed at Narita. Jet lag hit me like a sumo wrestler. Smuggled myself, bleary-eyed, onto the Narita Express (thank GOD for the pre-booked tickets, I was NOT in the mood to navigate that mess). The train was… quiet. Creepy quiet. Felt like I was in a sci-fi movie where everyone was replaced by polite robots.
Late Morning/Early Afternoon (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Check-in at the Daiwa Roynet. It’s… nice. Very clean. Very… beige. The robot check-in was a little intimidating at first, but after fumbling with the touchscreen for five minutes, I finally got a room key. Room key in hand, I think "I really need a coffee." Then I realize, "I forgot to learn Japanese!" (What a genius). The panoramic view of Tokyo from my window is gorgeous, even if the city kinda looks like a giant, sprawling circuit board.
Afternoon (2:00 PM-ish): Now, the real problem hits, hunger. I'm craving sushi like it's my oxygen. Google Maps to the rescue (again, thank god). Wandered out, determined to find authentic sushi. Let me tell you, finding a decent sushi place in the middle of a bustling city when you don't understand a word is harder than it sounds. Walked into what looked promising, and the sushi chef, a tiny, elderly man with eyes that could melt ice caps, looked at me with a level of suspicion usually reserved for tax auditors. Pointed vaguely at a picture of some fish. Watched him work. He sliced, he diced, he smiled (a tiny twitch of his lips, but I swear it was there). And, the sushi? Absolutely divine. The best I've, and ever will have again! The memory of it alone still makes my mouth water.
Evening (6:00 PM): Stumbled back to the hotel, utterly exhausted and blissfully full. Attempted to watch some Japanese TV. Failed miserably. Fell asleep on top of the duvet.
Day 2: Shinjuku Adventures & The Capsule Hotel Confrontation (Almost)
Morning (8:00 AM - Woke up surprisingly early): Determined to conquer the Shinjuku area. Started with a quick breakfast at the hotel (boring, beige, but it got the job done).
Morning/Afternoon (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Beautiful. Seriously. Breathtaking. The serenity was almost TOO MUCH. The utter calm gave me the serious fear. I needed sushi. Again.
Afternoon (1:30 PM-ish): Okay, so I had this impulsive idea. I thought, "I'm in Tokyo! I have to experience a capsule hotel!" I found one. It looked… interesting. I walked in, I saw the rows of capsule units, neatly slotted together. The air was filled with the gentle hum of robotic comfort. The tiny, efficient desk clerk, gave me a form to fill out. Suddenly, I found myself staring at a question sheet of Japanese questions. "Wait, what is this?" I muttered. The clerk, in perfect English, informed me of the rules. "Right, right, rules are important." The "Rules." The "Regulations." The claustrophobia. The thought of being trapped in a glorified shoebox for a night suddenly freaked me the hell out. I muttered something about needing to "grab a coffee" and practically sprinted out of there. Capsule Hotel: 0. Me: 1 (for now). I really need to man up.
Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Wandered around the Shinjuku area. Saw the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (free views! Brilliant!). Got lost in the side streets. Discovered a tiny, hole-in-the-wall ramen place that didn't judge my total lack of Japanese. The ramen was perfect. That broth… pure poetry.
Evening (7:00 PM): Back at the hotel. Ordered room service and watched whatever was on Netflix. Contemplated the meaning of life and ordered a second helping of fries.
Day 3: Shibuya Crossing Chaos & A Matcha Mishap
Morning (9:00 AM): Determined to experience the famous Shibuya Crossing. Holy moly. It's like being caught in a human tidal wave. The sensory overload was intense, the adrenaline was pumping. I was terrified, and yet, strangely, completely exhilarated. Managed to survive the experience without getting run over. Success!
Morning/Afternoon (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Explored the Shibuya area. Went to a cat café (yes, I realize I'm a cliché). Played with kittens. Fell in love with a fluffy ginger one named Mochi. Seriously considered smuggling him back home.
Afternoon (2:00 PM): Disaster struck. Decided to try a matcha latte. Ordered it from a cute little cafe. Took a sip. GREEN, BITTER HELL. I am clearly not a matcha person. The waiter watched me, eyes alight with amusement. I tried to smile. Failed miserably. Pretended to enjoy it until I could throw it away.
Afternoon (4:00 PM): Needed comfort food. Found a bakery. The pastries were heavenly. Ate three. No regrets.
Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a yakitori place. The grilled skewers were delicious, the sake was potent, and I ended up having a surprisingly animated conversation (mostly hand gestures and broken English) with the guy next to me.
Day 4: Wrapping Up & The Departure Blues
Morning (9:00 AM): Last-minute souvenir shopping. Panic set in. Realized I had forgotten half the people on my list. Bought random things. Hoped for the best.
Morning/Afternoon (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM): One last walk around the hotel. The view, that panoramic vista again. It's still incredible.
Afternoon (2:00 PM): Check out. Goodbye, beige hotel. Goodbye, Tokyo. Goodbye, my sanity (maybe partially recovered).
Afternoon/Evening (3:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Narita Express to the airport. Flight home. The jet lag's going to be brutal, but, you know what? Tokyo, you weird, wonderful, exhausting, delicious, overwhelming city… I'll be back. Just need to learn some Japanese, and maybe conquer that freaking capsule hotel. And definitely, definitely stock up on sushi.
Final Thoughts:
- Tokyo is a sensory experience, and also, a confusing mind-bend (especially when you're tired and don't speak the language).
- Embrace the chaos. Get lost. Eat everything.
- Never underestimate the power of a good bowl of ramen.
- Don't be afraid to embarrass yourself. It's part of the fun.
- I needed a vacation from my vacation. (But, like, in a good way!)
