4PM check-in, 10AM check-out!

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 4, 2013
The location of this hotel is actually super awesome...right next to Hakodate Morning Market and Donburi Yokocho and a short 5-10 minute walk to JR Hakodate Station. However, the check-in and check-out times seem unreasonable for a business hotel.

We stayed at two traditional ryokans on this trip and understand their late check-in and early check-out policy is to ensure that the cleaning staff has plenty of time to tidy up the large tatami rooms and perfect every detail of the stay. But, the Toyoko hotel rooms are super tiny...and did not come with many amenities...so why the 4PM check-in policy?! The hotel staff insisted that only guests with Toyoko club card can check in at 3PM and all other guests have to wait until 4PM.

So, if you have rooms already cleaned and ready (which they did because we saw a bunch of keys available behind the front desk area), why make your guests wait just so you can enforce a "policy"? It was snowing and freezing outside...but we still got kicked out to find stuff to do until check-in time. Oh, the heater did not work so we were freezing in our room. I guess we got what we paid for...a cheap hotel.

Simple, basic, clean hotel. In this Hakodate hotel usual then others of this chain. Lilliput size rooms and toilets, free breakfast but in a lobby full of people. Steps from train station, but not close from main city sightseeing places

Friendly, helpful staff. Free wifi in room, computers available in lobby. Delicious breakfast consisting of soup, assorted riceballs, pickled vegetables, arabiki sausage, eggs, toast, coffee and tea. Located next to the morning market. Dine at nearby Sushi Alley for lunch or dinner.

Room tip: Suggest 2 twins when traveling in pairs. Roomier and more comfortable.

So stayed at yet another Toyoko Inn. Stayed here in June '06. Most of the Toyoko Inns are similar. These are like the Best Westerns back in the US. They're nice business budget hotels with good amenities. All the Toyokos have a dining room/area close to the lobby. On the ground floor there's usually a small laundry room with pay washer and dryer. There are also vending machines with water, coffee, snacks, and soft drinks. Word for those who may not be aware, breakfast is Japanese style, which means tea, miso soup, and choice of a few types of onigiri.

Each Toyoko room I stayed at was a single room with a clean comfy bed. Room also came with a desk, fridge, small closet, and small all-in-one bathroom. For the uninitiated, the bathroom is quite a technological innovation. The bathroom is a step up from the rest of the room. The tub is large and deep Japanese style tub. The toilet seat has a bunch of buttons to control the warmth of the seat, activate the bidet function, and do some other things that I don't remember. Toiletries are great and are all in one convenient location, no more little bottles.

For the price, the value you get from a Toyoko is outstanding.

Since all Toyokos are fairly similar, this review will be more about the city in which it was located.

Hakodate is a great small city that is easy to get around. There is an old time trolley running throughout town which is convenient and quite an experience. There is a good portion of the city around the main train station which is laid out in a Western style grid pattern. In this area there are many Western style buildings. At times Hakodate seemed like a fishing town from the northeast US. Best part about being a fishing town is the fish market (which is close to the hotel) so there are good inexpensive sushi places all around. A definite don't miss is going atop Mt. Hakodate for a wonderful view of the city and sea.
