Daiwa Roynet Hotel Omiya Nishiguchi ranks #2 on our list of hotels near Saitama Super Arena. It isn’t walking distance to the venue — that’s the trade-off — but a single train stop with no transfer keeps the commute painless, and in exchange you get genuinely new (opened March 2024), high-floor rooms with a separate bathroom that several guests specifically called out as more comfortable than a typical arena-side business hotel. It’s a solid pick if you’d rather have modern comfort and the convenience of Omiya Station than shave off the last few minutes of travel time.

Who this hotel is a good fit for

• Travelers who prioritize genuinely new, comfortable rooms over the last few minutes of walking distance
• Anyone who wants a separate bathroom rather than a cramped unit bath
• People who’d like to base themselves at Omiya Station, with its shinkansen and multiple local lines, plus an attached convenience store and drugstore
• Guests hoping for a high-floor night view (some report a Mt. Fuji sightline on clear days)

Key hotel facts for international guests

Location and actual walking difficulty

This hotel is about a 6-minute walk from JR Omiya Station West Exit. From there, it’s one stop with no transfer on the JR Keihin-Tohoku or Utsunomiya Line to Saitama-Shintoshin Station, plus about a 10-minute walk to the arena. The arena itself isn’t walking distance from the hotel — plan on the train ride rather than expecting to walk straight there. One guest specifically noted that the separate bathroom and wide bed made it a genuinely comfortable stay despite not being a direct walk to the venue.

Room size and luggage space

Rooms range from 22.3 to 54.7 m² (240–589 sq ft) across 10 room types — on the larger side for a business hotel in this area, and every room sits on the 14th floor or higher since the hotel opened in March 2024.

Bed size and comfort for tall travelers

The largest bed on the official room page is a 168cm-wide queen in the Deluxe Queen category. There’s no king bed among the room types we found, so if that’s a priority, it’s worth checking the specific room category before booking.

Bathroom and room facilities

Most rooms have a semi-separate bath/toilet layout, and Junior Suites step up to a fully separate bathroom plus a microwave and fridge. A few guests reported softer-than-expected water pressure or slower drainage in some rooms, which may vary by room type or floor. There’s a 24-hour coin laundry on 19F.

English support

Some guest reviews describe front-desk staff as confident in English, but we have not independently verified this. It may still be worth having key requests written out in advance if you don’t speak Japanese.

Breakfast and dietary options

Breakfast is a buffet that scores 4.37/5 in our editorial rating. It can get crowded when school groups are staying, and a few repeat guests mentioned the menu doesn’t change much visit to visit. We did not find specific information about vegetarian, vegan, or halal options.

Airport access

We were not able to independently confirm airport access times for this specific property. Omiya and Saitama-Shintoshin stations are one stop apart, so travel times to Narita or Haneda should be broadly comparable to the Saitama-Shintoshin hotels on our list, but this hasn’t been verified door-to-door for this hotel.

Tattoo and public bath policy

Not a factor here: the official facilities page confirms there is no public bath, only in-room baths, so tattoo policy simply doesn’t come up at this hotel.

Luggage storage and delivery

There’s a self-service luggage storage area on the 14th floor, which lets you drop bags before heading out to the arena rather than carrying everything with you.

Laundry

A 24-hour coin laundry is available on 19F, useful for multi-night stays.

What the booking sites don’t clearly explain

Listings that emphasize “near Saitama Super Arena” can make this hotel sound closer than it is — it’s genuinely a train ride away, not a walk, even though the ride itself is short and transfer-free. On the plus side, the hotel opened in 2024, so the rooms and fixtures are noticeably newer than most of the arena-side options, which isn’t always obvious from photos alone. Airport access specifics for this exact property also weren’t independently confirmed in our research, so if that’s a key factor for you, it’s worth checking directly.

Who should avoid this hotel

• People who want to walk directly from their room to the arena
• Guests who want a public bath or onsen-style facility
• Anyone who wants a completely fresh breakfast menu on every visit

Frequently asked questions

Is this hotel walking distance to Saitama Super Arena?

No. It’s about a 6-minute walk from JR Omiya Station West Exit, then one stop with no transfer (about 5 minutes) to Saitama-Shintoshin Station, plus roughly a 10-minute walk to the arena from there.

Is there a public bath here?

No, the official facilities page confirms there’s no public bath — only in-room baths, most with a semi-separate layout and Junior Suites with a fully separate bathroom.

Is breakfast crowded?

It can be, particularly when school groups are staying. Aim for right at opening (6:30am) or after 9am, or consider eating around Omiya Station’s many restaurant options instead.

Are king-size beds available?

Not based on the official room page. The largest bed is a 168cm-wide queen in the Deluxe Queen category, narrower than a US/UK king. Check the specific room type before booking.
