Toyoko Inn is basically the Holiday Inn or what have you of Japan, it tries to offer business and budget travelers with uniform, clean locations. The hotels are generally located within a 10 minute walk of a station or major attraction and they all have exactly the same styling and architecture. They are not remarkable hotels, but for the price and location, Toyoko Inn is pretty hard to beat all over Japan. The Hiroshima one in particular is nice since it's in walking distance to the Peace Park, Hondori (main shopping area), and Hiroshima's redlight/entertainment district.

The rooms are tiny, but that is typical Japan; however, they are newly furnished and very clean. Ladies get a special bath set with nail polish remover, a face mask, and some other amenities. If you reserve off their website, you also get your choice of a website only gift which is honestly usually pairs of poor quality socks, notepads, or pens. The room rate also includes breakfast (which I have never eaten and cannot comment on) of miso soup and riceballs.

The staff is friendly and will do their best to help you. There is also free internet on their lobby computers and broadband in your room if your brought your laptop.
