We booked the King Double and stayed 4 nights at the hotel. ||||What we liked:||- Friendly and helpful staff. Front desk staff can speak English well.||- Room. Spacious and clean. Plenty of space and luggage can be stored under the bed. Basic amenities are provided.||- Complimentary breakfast.||- In a quiet neighbourhood. There are many eateries around.||- There's a mini-mart just right outside the hotel. There's also a 7-11 few minutes walk away. Lawson is about 5-10mins walk, if you need to buy tickets to attractions such as the Fujiko F Fujio Museum. The staff there is happy to help with the ticket machine.||- The hotel is close to a number of train stations: If I remember correctly, it is near Exit 1 for Kodemmacho Station; Exit A3 for Bakuroyokoyama/Higashi-Nihombashi station. (I think Bakuroyokoyama and Higashi-Nihombashi are connected but on different platforms). If you're using the Bakuroyokoyama/Higashi-Nihombashi station, and need lifts/elevators, you can use Exits A4 or B1. Please double check with staff at station. ||- Computer facilities.||- Laundry facilities.||||Things to note:||- You can sign up as member for a fee on the spot and enjoy the member discounts.||- Guests are not allowed to leave luggage before check-in/after check-out overnight. However you may be able to book a room and pay a discounted fee to have your luggage stored in the room. We paid around 2,000-2,500 Yen to store 6 pieces of luggage for a night. The staff was happy to "check out" for us the next day and moved our luggage to reception for storage. This saved us having to lug around 6 pieces of luggage to Hakone and back. Storage lockers at train stations normally charge around 300-600 Yen per locker per day.||- There are two other Toyoko Inns in the vicinity so double check your GPS/maps. The first Toyoko Inn you see may not be the...
Read moreWe stayed here in February - at first, the room seemed very good for the price, but unfortunately we both got sick over the 5 days of stay because of the air conditioner - the room does not have any other form of heating except the AC unit, and our room had air continuously fired towards the bed. Turning it off meant that the room temperature would become freezing in 30minutes - the windows were allowing very cold air to pass through.
The toilet was clean, the shower was nice, we had face/body soap, shampoo and conditioner dispensers.
Overall, I would recommend this inn for stays in the hot seasons, and absolutely NOT recommend this hotel in...
Read moreBeing in Tokyo, this particular Toyoko Inn was not as big as some of the others on the outskirts and other smaller cities. That said, they were still very accommodating in baggage storage in the reception area. The breakfast spread was also relatively limited compared to other Toyoko Inn hotels we stayed at. Still overall it's a decent option for a stay. Both JR and metro stations are close by. Ginza, Imperial Palace gardens and other attractions are within a reasonable distance. Also, the guy at the reception desk was very fluent in English which...
