This hotel is part of a large chain of good, basic Japanese style hotels. the rooms are small and basic. It is close to shopping, historic sites, and transportation. In the US an inexpensive hotel can mean a rundown, poorly maintained property, but that is not the case in Japan. These hotels are clean and well maintained. The free breakfast... More

This is a cheap hotel in Kyoto, at 15 minutes on foot by Kyoto central Station and less then 10 minutes on foot by the city center. Room is little but contains: one bed (less then a double bed), one desk, one bedside table and one closet, one tv. Bathroom is essential but there is everything you need. Breakfast is... More

Stayed in this hotel for 4 nites last May 2009 with family. The room with attached bathroom altho small with not much space to move around were clean and well maintained. The breakfast (included in price) served in the mornings were japanese style and sufficiently good. Location of subway was about 5mins walk and was easy to walking around. More

The rooms are absolutely tiny, but the price is hard to beat. Room was spotlessly clean and everything advertised. Free breakfast every AM was quite passable but wholly unremarkable. Breakfast offerings were 4 types of onigiri, miso soup, cabbage sald, rolls, pickles, tea, wretched coffee. Toilet/shower room is a tiny self-contained prefab. It's really a minimalist lodging experience, BUT, for... More

Hotel is near to Kyoto train station. If you take a taxi, the fare is approx 800 JPY so if there are 3 to 4 of you, it is more convenient to take the taxi rather than the subway. More

I believe this hotel offers the best relation cost x location x confort. You'll not find anything better in this price range. Location is fantastic. Pretty close to the subway station, great pavement with the best shops and galleries. You can also walk to the central station and Gion (Geisha neighborhood). Rooms are quite good sized and extremely clean and... More

We stayed here for two nights, rooms were very nice, free computers to use in the lobby and breakfast is served there too. Breakfast was a wide variaty of bread, rice balls, miso soup and pickled veggies. It was also very close to the subway station (2,3 min) and the bus station(2,3 min) that basically covered all our visits to... More

This otherwise average hotel is in a fantastic location and is very convenient for transport, shopping and food. Whilst the hotel is not awful by any means it does has a few shortcomings - the rooms are a somewhat dowdy/jaded and the staff at the front desk are a little unused to dealing with foreigners (the hotel is primarily a...

During our week in Japan, we stayed at three Toyoko Inns. We chose to stay at this location for our two nights in Kyoto. All of the Toyoko Inns that we stayed at were great. They all offer a small but clean room at a reasonable rate that includes a free breakfast, small flat-screen tv, LAN cable for internet access,... More
