Hotel Toyo in Florence, Japan

Good: - for meeting people - price - kitchen facilities and common room - friendly and helpful staff Less Good: - Location Erik, from Sweden ~ 4th Oct 2011

The price is very cheap,but the hygiene is not very good. There are bad smell in toliet.Location is good,but we found it over an hour.Because we saw it is near Tennoji JR station in the map.But actully is near Shin-iyamiya JR station.Their kitchen & rest room is good & clean.Staff is polite & helpful. fung, from Hong Kong ~ 6th Sep 2011

Worn, but comfortable. Easily accessible from subway and JR. The staff were amazing. They helped us find a lot of cool places that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Thanks to Hotel Toyo for making my vacation a good one! Nicholas, from USA ~ 15th Aug 2011

Very, very creepy hotel. The neighborhood is sketchy, and there are homeless people all around. It is located close to some good restaurants, but I felt too unsafe at night walking to them. The directions to the hotel as listed are poor and only tell you what subway to get off, which seems markedly unhelpful. As for the hotel itself, the rooms are quite tiny and did not feature air conditioning. The common areas seemed unkempt and all the bathrooms were of questionable cleanliness.

Location is a little sketchy compared to rest of Japan, but not dangerous. The actual hostel is wonderful. Great staff with good knowledge of area. Easy to make friends there. Downside is only 1 bathroom with a few stalls and 2 showers. But never had a problem. Rooms may be a bit small for some but I`m nearly 2m tall and I didn`t have a problem. Private rooms and cheap prices. Close to the subway too! Def. would stay again, and would certainly recommend to friends Fabio, from USA ~ 16th Jul 2011

I really enjoyed my stay here. I stayed for 3 nights. I was originally only going to stay for 2 but I still had a lot to see so I booked in for one more night. The area where the hostel is actually situated is not exactly one of the nicest looking. There are some dirty streets and homeless folk. But most of them are old men and just down on their luck, nothing threatning. I went out every night to the convinience store a few blocks down around 2am and never felt any danger. Granted, I`m a 1m 82c Fabio, from USA ~ 16th Jul 2011
