Toyoko Inn Tokyo Kanda Akihabara

"We had a decent stay here for two weeks in April/May. The staff are very nice and try their best to help you in English. As others mention, it’s a bit far from Akihabara, but there is a metro station one minute from the hotel. The rooms are a bit small and old and there are bad smells that come from the toilet sometimes, but overall the hotel is good value for money, especially if you are mostly outside of the room exploring Japan. The breakfast everyday was always very fresh and tasty."

"The room was good size. Looked onto a brick wall. No safe. The room had a clock, a TV, a big and small mirror. Chair to writ at desk set along wall with TV. Slippers. Nightwear to be selected from foya. Many branches at different levels of cost. You get what you pay for. Coat hangers on the wall for wardrobe. TV Japanese only. No satellite. Could buy from catalogue movies for 500 yen. Breakfast included. Was just passable. Route Inn had a superior breakfast. Staff here were NOT the usual Japanese welcoming, friendly. I stayed 3 nights. When I came in, they had their heads down, and I was ignored. It is very unusual for the Japanese. There was not a lounge chair to be had in the lobby. The breakfast was served in an open area by the lobby. Weird set up. They had washing machine and dryer in back corner of lobby. Only saw a couple of foreigners on each day, and they were couples. It's definitely serving the Japanese community mainly. Hygiene supplies are picked up in the lobby. I'm on a budget as not just travelling for a week or two and I travel multiple destinations on a budget rather than spend on up market hotels so I'm not disappointed in room but the friendly staff definitely lacking at this location. The location itself is quiet. Train links are good and actually helped not to be in the heart of traffic jam railway stations. I got used to them before hitting the people nightmare."

"I stayed for four nights with my daughter during our winter 2024 trip. The hotel's location made it easy to access JR and metro subway lines, and it was just a short walk from Akihabara, a popular spot for anime and tech enthusiasts. The rooms were compact yet clean and well-equipped with essential amenities, including free breakfast and affordable laundry facilities. While the space may feel a bit tight for those traveling with kids, the hotel's affordability, convenience, and reliability make it a solid choice for both business and leisure travelers."
