Toyoko Inn Tokyo Akiba Asakusabashi-eki Higashi-guchi

Toyoko Inn Akiba the hotel quite accesible to nearest train station.Regarding the food, Breakfast menu was repetitious though filling enough to start the day as it was a buffet breakfast. Regarding the room, bed was compy and we requested adittional pillow which they granted. Our overall comment The hotel was Ok, no fancy, straightforward hotel. Dont expect to much... Value for money is good for this hotel but if there are other hotel to compare weve rather look for another options. What bothered us was their frontliner customer service-No warm welcome, even when we left we felt unappreciated considering that we are stayed for 8 days.(We stayed last June 8 to 15, 2019) Business as usual. Positive experience from a hotel guest was lacking. Except those manning the kitchen and the housekeeping personell were courteous and pleasant, always smiling and greeted us every time we met them. Definitely we will consider other hotel when we will visit Japan soon.

The complimentary breakfast was disappointing. I don’t think most foreign guests will want to eat curry and rice for breakfast.

Location was good near MTR station just two mins walk. Room is small but tidy. Service was ok.

In general, everything was perfect to us, a couple of Chinese descent from the United States. At the free breakfasts, we enjoyed our first taste of excellent Japanese rice and fresh vegetables. The coffee was good too. In the meantime, it was our understanding that our friends, who are > 6' and weigh > 250 lbs, might not find this place desirable. They would feel like living in a matchbox and the breakfast too different from their style. On the other hand, the location is great for everyone: One can walk to a subway station, the Senso-ji temple and jog along the beautiful Sumida River. There is a youth hostel behind the hotel. After this stay, I would certainly prefer this hotel.
