Daiwa Roynet Hotel Akita Ekimae
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking for most visitors to Akita who want a clean, well-rated room right by the station at a mid-range price. Skip it if a relaxed breakfast matters a lot, because guests find the dining area cramped.

Our Best Value pick in Akita is a 3-star hotel aimed at people arriving and leaving by train. Guests report a covered walkway to the station and a convenience store downstairs, which suits short city stays, business trips and anyone travelling in bad weather.
It is less suited to travellers who want a long, calm breakfast. The buffet itself is praised, but the room it is served in is described as cramped and crowded. If you want the lowest price, our Budget pick costs less. If you want a 4-star hotel, our Luxury pick is the step up.
Location and getting around
The address is Nakadori 2-3-20, and the location score is 9.1. Akita Museum of Art is about 0.3 km away, roughly 4 minutes on foot. Kubota Castle is about 0.7 km away, around 9 minutes.
Akita Castle is a different story. At 4.7 km, it is about 59 minutes on foot, so it is far and you will need public transport or a taxi. All walking times are straight-line estimates. Real routes, especially with luggage or in snow, will take longer.
What guests say
With a score of 8.9 out of 10 from 293 reviews, this hotel sat joint first on review score among the 9 eligible properties we compared. Room cleanliness stands out: guests consistently call rooms fresh, spotless and well maintained. The direct link to the station is the other recurring plus.
The main complaint is about space at breakfast. Guests like the buffet and its local specialties, but say the dining area feels tight and busy. The review count of 293 is smaller than at some hotels on our site, so read recent reviews to see if the picture still holds.

Why it made our top 3
