Toyoko Inn Tokyo Otsuka eki Kita guchi No.1

"Good: The staff was kind. There are not many rooms in the building so it was quiet. It is set up like an old apartment building.\nBad: the building is old so the room was a bit musty."

"The location of this Toyoko Inn was excellent, just 3 super short blocks from the Otsuka Yamanote line station. The rooms were very small for me to share with my sister, however I think would be perfect for one person or a two people who pack very light. The amenities are pretty sparse, but considering how inexpensive the rooms are it made sense. They had free combs and razors at the front desk; there was body/face wash, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower; toothbrushes with toothpaste; women received a face mask kit upon check in; there are pajamas in the lobby you can borrow; slippers in the rooms; a hot water kettle in the room with mugs and green tea/plum tea; and of course WiFi in the rooms and lobby. The front desk people were very friendly! Luckily my sister speaks Japanese, otherwise it would have been difficult for me to communicate with them. The included breakfast was great; there was always assorted onigiri, salad, plain and chocolate croissants, and some type of meat option (sausages or meatballs). It was very basic as far as options, but I really enjoyed it. The rooms opened to the outside which my sister didn't feel was very safe, but I enjoyed it because it was nice to be able to open a window or prop the door open to get outside air circulating in the room."

"Good in location, friendly staff.\nDusty in room, a bit old furniture,\nFor the breakfast, don't resupply the run out of certain food item near or close to 9am even though the breakfast runs till 09:30am.\nBreakfast items are not good comparing with other Toyoko Inn in Tokyo."
