Stayed 4-nights whilst using Kumamoto as a base for day trips by train to Amakusi-Misumi, Aso-Miyaji, Nagasaki and Beppu.  The Toyoko Inn is therefore ideal being within 200m of the entrance to Kumamoto Station and for getting about Kumamoto, the main stop for the Kumamoto Shiden (Tram) is right outside the hotel.  As I had an early start each day I didn't get to try the free breakfast included in the room rate and arriving back late each evening, the food court on the 7th floor of the Amu Plaza adjacent to the Station proved really convenient (open until 10 ~ 11pm).  Budget-priced hotels in Japan tend to provide small but well-eqipped rooms and Toyoko Inn is no exception.  I opted for the cheaper room  rate whereby your room isn't serviced daily, only fresh towels provided; even better value-for-money.

Ideal location as a base for day trips by train!

If you are Toyoko Inn fan, this is one of the best with perfect location which is very close to Kumamoto Station, very convenient to travel around Kumamoto too.  Breakfast is also good.  Value of Money when stay in Toyoko Brand.

Location very close to Kumamoto Station

Location is the best to travel around Kumamoto, both by train and buses.  Room comes with free breakfast which is goo value of mone. They also allow me to leave luggage at the hotel for 1 night when I travel to ASO.  Impressive Services.

Very convenient

Hotel very closed with the Kumamoto Station. Friendly staff, I showed my Muslim Dietary card and they help me to show  what I can eat. Healthy Japanese breakfast by this hotel, I really love their Miso Soup! Overall, choose this hotel if you stay in Kumamoto! 

Best experience from this hotel 

Great location as it’s just on the outside of the Kumamoto station, walk towards the right side. Allowed us to leave luggage as rooms only ready at 4pm. Fast check-in.  Clean basic small rooms. Towels and bath washes provided. Clean towels were left daily outside room door even though room is only cleaned every 4 days. Simple yet tasty breakfast daily.

Great stay, great value.

Visit Japan on my vacation and selected this hotel as just a minute walk form Kumamoto Station. As know this is a budget hotel but facilities is good for you to saty a couple day. Room clean, nice view form room also provide you a healthy breakfast choice of rice and coffee.staff is so active.friendly senior staff who taking care you during morning meal.

A minute walk from Kumamoto Stations

In terms of proximity to JR Kumamoto station, this hotel is really very near. It’s also near to the tram station, and bus stations that goes to airport/mt aso/ etc

However, I must say the whole area is rather void of activity. Its pretty quiet and apart from eating/shopping at the similarly desolate looking JR Kumamoto station, there’s nothing much to do.

If you are looking to stay purely for convenience, this place would suffice. But then again, the toyoko inn that is nearer to the major shopping areas/ bus terminal might be more attractive as there is much more to see and do there (and easy access to transport as well)

Hotel check-in was smooth, however we could only get our keys after 3pm, which wasn’t a big issue.

Received some free toiletries as well.

Room was on a high floor hence had a good sleep.

All necessary toiletries and amenities were provided.

Similar to all other toyoko inn there was free breakfast provided as well from 630-930 and during the 3 days I was there, there were slight changes in menu each day.

All in all good value for money, but would have preferred another location.

good but not so good..

The hotel is very conveniently located for travelers.  It is a mere minute walk to the main train station for local trains, bullet trains, street car and buses.  The rooms are compact, well laid-out, clean and basic.  The complementary breakfast is adequate.  The upper floors provide a nice view.

a great location for the business traveler

This is the most typical business hotel i have stayed at in Japan. Tiny, compact, clean rooms well stocked with amenities and sound proof. Free breakfast was extremely limited but the canteen ladies were very cheerful. Check in staff very cold though. The room was very small and i can't imagine staying there as a couple for more than a night or maybe 2. Perfect if your using it for a layover or as a single person.

Perfect for a short stay

I'm not sure how this hotel gets good reviews here and on other sites. 

Pros: Perhaps the only pro is that it's right next to the Kumamoto train station. 

Cons: The rooms are extremely small and dated. The heater didn't work. The staff was somewhat helpful, but only a few could barely speak English. The breakfast was pretty much what you'd get at a mid-range hotel in China or Myanmar, simply uneatable.  

Toyoko Inn Kumamoto Ekimae provided the worst value and service from our two-week trip in Korea and Japan (6 cities).  Avoid.
