We had an overall pleasant stay at Toyoko Inn during our visit to Kyoto!
The location is definitely one of its strongest points: just a short walk from Nijo Castle and well connected by public transportation to the rest of the city, making it a convenient base for exploring Kyoto. There is also a convenience store right downstairs, which was extremely useful!
The room was quite small, as is common in Japanese hotels, but it was generally clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. Pajamas and shower essentials were provided, and additional amenities were available in the lobby.
Breakfast was mainly Japanese-style, but there were also some sweet options, and we found it quite enjoyable! We particularly appreciated being able to use the breakfast area 24/7, with a water dispenser, coffee, and tea available. Such a convenient feature after a long day of sightseeing!
The check-in process was a little confusing. Although the hotel has automated self-check-in machines, a staff member was simultaneously guiding us through the process and seemed to become impatient at times. We felt it would have been smoother to either let guests complete the process independently or provide a fully staff-assisted check-in.
The other issue was the laundry facility. Unfortunately, after using the washing machine, our clothes came out smelling worse than before, with an unpleasant damp, musty odor, and we had to wash them again. It almost seemed as though the machine hadn’t used enough detergent or hadn’t cleaned the clothes properly.

Great breakfast, we look forward to it every morning. They also provide free tea and coffee for almost the entire day. All of the basic things that we needed were already provided. Guests can leave luggages early in the lobby before checking. Extra toiletries and instant tea were available in the lobby and guests can take as much as they need. When it rained, they lent umbrellas for free at the lobby. This hotel made me realize the superiority of business hotels in japan for travelers.
The location is near to Nijo castle but far away from other tourist attractions so the commute is difficult if you have kids.

The room is very comfortable. Staff is nice and very helpful. They help me forward my luggage to my next hotel. There's lockers to drop luggage before chek in, which is convenient as I arrived early in Kyoto, so I could enjoy the city freely until check in. The hotel has great amenities, there's also a coin laundry. Breakfast was good and you can eat in your room which is great if there's no place in the breakfast room. Also there's coffee access until midnight which is nice!
However, when I arrived at the next hotel I saw my luggage broken. I contact the transport service and they told me I didn’t have a warranty, so I told them I didn’t know about any warranty and hotel didn’t talk about any warranty or let me sign anything about a warranty. But the man on the phone told me someone from staff at Toyoko Inn told them I didn’t want warranty. Which is false as I was not aware of any warranty. That is very disappointed, I try to contact Toyoko Inn through booking (as I did my reservation on it) to ask for explanation about their staff lying to Yamato Transport, but has no answer yet. Don’t know if I will have one. I am really disappointing as I enjoyed my stay, but I don’t think I would come back to this hotel because of the customer service I received… do not ignore your customers just because the stay has ended. That rude and do not give a good image of you.
