Daiwa Roynet Hotel Hamamatsu
The property was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The only complaint is that check-in is on the second floor without an elevator till you check-in. Would stay here again!

Fastest elevator I've come across! My room was on the 39th floor..but it felt like i was on the 5th. Great view! The beds are firm. Just nice. I'll return.
