Yesterday a colleague asked me where to stay in Japan for her coming trip. Of course, I suggested Tokoyo Inn (http://www.toyoko-inn.com/eng/). It seems that a lot of people are not aware of this chain hotel in Japan. So decided to do a short write up.
To me, hotel is just a place to sleep and refresh during a trip. I do not need one with a lot of facilities since I will be spending more of my time traveling around and not relaxing in the hotel room and enjoying the facilities, like swimming pool, a grand lobby, etc.
The cost of a single room for the outlet at Shinjuku is around 6,500 yen with tax (which is S$100 at an exchange rate of 0.016) per night. For a twin room, that would be about 9,300 yen (which is S$149) per night. Of course the room rates vary from area to area. For some chains that are nearer to the subway or JR station, the room rate will be slightly higher. They also provide free breakfast, and free internet access at their counter (but limited computers).
Photo of their single room that I stay in during my one of my Tokyo trips. yes, it is a super single bed in their single room. Nice right?
