Hotels With WiFi in Saitama Prefecture, Japan

"Omiya Kagayaki Hotel: An Unexpectedly Great Stay When I decided to visit a friend in Saitama, I spent a long time browsing booking platforms. Omiya Kagayaki Hotel's ratings weren't amazing, and the reviews were mixed. Some mentioned the onsen's hygiene wasn't great, others complained about a cemetery view from their room. After much hesitation, I booked it, swayed by the 'rooftop infinity onsen' and its 'proximity to the station.' It turned out to be the decision I regretted the least during that trip around Tokyo. It was evening when I arrived at Omiya Station. After exiting, I followed navigation for about five minutes and soon spotted the hotel's unassuming yet distinctive building. Downstairs, there was a convenience store and a well-stocked pharmacy. I later realized how incredibly convenient this location was – if I wanted a late-night snack or forgot something, I could just pop downstairs. Check-in was on the 13th floor, unlike most hotels located on the ground floor. As I pushed open the lobby door, the front desk staff looked up and smiled, instantly washing away half my travel fatigue. Check-in was swift, with no long waits or awkward communication barriers. The staff confirmed my booking in fluent English and, as they handed me the room key, pointed towards the elevators and softly mentioned the onsen's operating hours. Their warmth was just right – not overly effusive, but making you feel genuinely attended to. Upon entering the room, my first thought was: 'It's bigger than I expected.' Having stayed in many cramped business hotels in Japan, Omiya Kagayaki's double room, at least, allowed me to lay my suitcase flat on the floor without blocking the way. The bedding was clean and crisp, the pillows just the right firmness. I'm usually sensitive to new beds, but I slept surprisingly soundly both nights. The window insulation was excellent; practically no street noise came in. What surprised me most was the bathroom. A wet/dry separation design isn't common in business hotels, and the shower pressure was so good I wanted to stay in longer. Hot water arrived quickly. Toiletries were comprehensive, not just those token small packages. But what truly made this hotel worth every penny was the rooftop onsen. Soaking in the hot water that evening, looking out at Saitama's night view through the glass, I felt completely re-energized. In the misty air, a local lady next to me started chatting in Japanese, basically saying she comes every week and the water temperature here is 'just right.' I smiled and nodded; though I didn't understand everything, that sense of relaxation was universal. Notably, the onsen was also relatively accommodating to tattooed guests – you just need to cover them with patches, which is quite rare in Japanese hotels. For travelers with tattoos who want to experience a Japanese hot spring, this small detail will likely be remembered for a long time. Breakfast also deserves a special mention. It offered both Japanese and Western options. The scrambled eggs were particularly good – fluffy and moist; I had two servings each day. While the dishes weren't luxurious, they were plentiful and thoughtfully prepared. I highly recommend adding dried tofu to the miso soup! It was more than enough to start the day full. On check-out day, instead of using the self-checkout machine, I went to the front desk. The staff took my room key, smiled, and said, 'Mata okoshi kudasai' (Please come again). I nodded, thinking to myself: 'I will, see you later, bye!' The quality of a hotel sometimes isn't about how luxurious it is, but whether it makes you feel like 'staying here is hassle-free.' Omiya Kagayaki achieved that. The warmth of the front desk, the cleanliness of the room, the peace and relaxation of the onsen, and the convenience of its location – all these elements combine to create a reason to return."

"It was a NIGHTMARE! We were given a room on the 11th floor, but starting at around 4 a.m., we kept hearing noises from the floor above, especially what sounded like constant footsteps. It turned out that the restaurant was on the 12th floor. We understand that the staff needed to prepare breakfast early in the morning, but we had specifically requested a quiet room in advance. Unfortunately, despite our request, we were still placed directly below the restaurant and were woken up by the noise."

"foreigners beware.  the bald headed guy with glasses at the reception is a terrible host. he declined to offer to show us to our rooms and help us with our luggage.  he also did not help with the luggage when we asked for help with our luggage out when we checked out. when we checked out he was also not friendly to help with taqbin. luckily familymart was kind enough to help us with our taqbin luggage"

"It was a bit far from Saitama-shintoshin Station, however the lawson is located their second floor and it was very convenient. The room was very clean and there were various amenities in the room! Check out is very easy."

"After visiting Sendai, we stopped in Omiya on our way to Echigo-Yuzawa. This hotel is located on the west exit of Omiya Station. It's incredibly clean and conveniently located. The room was spacious enough for two adults and one child. The night view was fantastic, offering a great city skyline. We appreciated the self-service check-in and check-out, and the free luggage storage using a key card. The surrounding area was also great for exploring."

"The front desk staff were very kind and helpful, which I appreciated. The guest rooms were clean, and the shower room had a fixed chair so I could wash myself while sitting, which was great. Best of all, there were shops and restaurants within walking distance, which was a big plus."

"Handy and easy walkable distance from JR Omiya Station which is just 30 minute train from Tokyo central. User-friendly and hassle-free self-check-in machine at the hotel lobby only costed me 3 minutes to get the room card. Hotel interior design is cosy with good vibe. Room is decent and spotless. The public bath was nice and clean. Breakfast was a surprise, with great variety of decent food choices. My stay was great and I have no complaints. Thanks for the hospitality!"

"Nice hotel situated fairly close to Omiya station. You can actually enter the Hotel from 2F using the elevated pedestrian walkway all the way from the train station, which is very convenient since it avoids having to carry your suitcase up and down stairs, and don't need to wait for traffic lights to cross the streets below. My room was a bit larger than a typical business hotel, and it came with a large desk which was nice."

"The Hotel offers an excellent location, just a short walk from JR Kawagoe Station and Shintomicho Station. Its convenient access to public transportation makes exploring Kawagoe and traveling to Tokyo effortless. Surrounded by shops and restaurants, the hotel is an ideal choice for both leisure and business travelers."

"Small business hotel, clean, but only good for sleeping at. 5 min walk from Train station, 2min walk from bus station, 10 min bus ride to Kumagaya Stadium park."
