Toyoko Inn Cebu

Overall, a fantastic hotel! While it's not exactly like Japan itself, the cleanliness and facilities are excellent. The breakfast menu, although not extensive, changes daily, so you won't get bored even on a long stay. Plus, it's right next to SM J-Mall, which makes shopping super convenient.

This Japanese-style hotel is no different from chain hotels in Japan, except the rooms are larger and include a bathtub. The staff are all very friendly and kind. The breakfast is delicious, enough to be considered lunch, and it's different every day. The first day was boiled eggs, the second was omelets. The sushi even had tuna, so they weren't cutting corners. There was also a welcome drink that I had after check-out, and you can choose your own time for it. Downstairs, there's a big mall where you can exchange money, a large supermarket, and many Japanese restaurants. The hot water was good, but I felt the bathtub wasn't as good as those in Japan; the water cooled down quickly. The hotel offers airport pick-up and drop-off, which is great; you just need to email to book it. Cons: 1. The room was too humid. The floor felt damp and not completely dry. 2. The air conditioning was a bit noisy. Considering the price, the service and breakfast are excellent, and direct access to the mall makes it truly fantastic.

The rooms are exactly the same as the Toyoko Inn in Japan. It was very helpful to be able to rent the washer and dryer for 200 pesos! Not everyone at the lobby seems to speak Japanese, but there are instructions written in Japanese, so it's not a problem. After check-in, it was very convenient to have direct access to and from the SM J Mall next door.

The hotel breakfast was delicious and the environment was clean. The room and bed were very comfortable. The location is excellent, right below the SM mall, which is very convenient. I highly recommend Toyoko Inn.

I chose this hotel because it offers a free shuttle service, and I had a flight from Cebu Airport the day after my stay. The bed was comfortable, and I could fill the bathtub with hot water, which was very relaxing. For breakfast, they even had Oyakodon and miso soup, so I got to enjoy some Japanese food after a long time. You can rent a laundry machine for 200 pesos for two hours, which was great for catching up on laundry this trip. SMJ Mall is right next door, making shopping and dining incredibly convenient. Nuat Thai is also nearby.

I stayed at Toyoko Inn Cebu for a few nights, and overall, it was a very satisfying experience. The hotel was clean, the rooms were well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and professional. The free breakfast and airport shuttle service were convenient, and direct access from the hotel to SM J Mall made shopping and dining very easy. The security was also excellent, allowing me to feel safe throughout my stay. The only significant drawback was the Wi-Fi. The speed was extremely slow, and the connection was unstable, which was particularly frustrating in the room. I imagine this would be inconvenient for anyone needing to work, attend online meetings, or upload photos and videos. It seems other guests have made similar complaints, so I hope they improve this. Overall, I think Toyoko Inn Cebu offers great value for money. If the Wi-Fi improves, I would definitely consider staying here again.

The hotel offers an airport shuttle bus once an hour, making it convenient for transiting guests. It's directly connected to SMJ Mall, so finding food is never an issue. There's even a supermarket inside the mall. All the staff greeted me warmly, making for a very comfortable stay.

As a Japanese business hotel, the room and amenities were as expected and satisfactory. The explanations and notices were also available in Japanese, which was reassuring. However, not all reception staff spoke Japanese.
