Itoen Hotel Toi — Hotel in Izu

Itoen Hotel Toi Izu is right on the waterfront. Basically most of the rooms are ocean view and may afford good sunsets.||Getting to this hotel can be a real task, as there is no train station nearby.||Our room the first night, was on the 5th floor, close to the elevator, with a private outdoor hot tub. If you have good hearing, stay away from room 501.||The rooms in this establishment with a private hot tub are very large, and very tired.||Unfortunately due to the location of our room, it was impossible to have a good night sleep due to the Onsen machinery nearby. Fortunately the following day we were moved to a similar room on the same floor, further away from the machinery, here we had an excellent night sleep.||From both the rooms we had, there were amazing sunsets, and nice ocean views.||This establishment has a plan which included dinner and breakfast. Acceptable, though disappointing. The sushi and sashimi were a little funky, that left us wondering about the quality and freshness, i.e. terrible. Therefore, the second night we passed on the sushi and sashimi. The salad bar - not much there, very disappointing. They do change the menu slightly day to day. During our stay they had all you can eat crab legs. ||Earlier the same week, we stayed at a Hotel that is part of the same chain, whose meals were substantially better. i.e. food quality, freshness and variety.||||Would we recommend this establishment: yes, with some reservations||Would we return to this establishment: yes, provided that we had the room as we did on our...

I was a solo traveller with a mount view room for 2 nights (with both breakfast and dinner) in Toi. I travel with regional JR pass. First of all, the room is not bad as I expected a single room anyway. The breakfast was disappointing but the dinner was OK since alcohols are included. But my point is, don't stay for more than one night especially for solo traveller, the town is boring and the gold mine only need an hour to finish. Not much to see in the town and the hotel is boring, too. One night is enough and you can cover the nice sunset view, and you need to go further south to see mount Fuji because it is blocked by a hill from the hotel. Bike rental is free (electric bike but it is not for sport for sure!) but only for 2 hours, you cannot have an adventure with it. The bus run every hour and it takes an hour back to the train station. And, since there is not much to do in the town and hotel, spending nights is a...

Ageing hotel with nice views and popular buffet dinner.

Positives: Free karaoke, small arcade, mahjong room etc. Nice view of the water from your room Buffet dinner offers a lot of options and seems very popular Room was spacious

Negatives: Strong mouldy/musty smell everything is worn out and in desperate need of renovation someone will direct you where to park and there is a good chance you will be parked in making it feel like you are trapped at the hotel. Made it difficult to...
