Checked in and used it on 7/27. The stocky receptionist with a bobbed hair at the front desk was unpleasant.I explained things carefully to the foreigner who checked in before me, and only answered what I was asked. What if I only deal with overseas customers? I felt that. Young men in training are much better off.Wouldn't it be better to learn about customer service?

This is a relatively small Toyoko Inn with only 6 floors, perhaps due to building height restrictions.The front lobby is also small and gets very crowded during breakfast.I've used over 40 Toyoko Inns nationwide, and this one by far has the easiest breakfast service!When I stayed on a Saturday and went to eat Sunday breakfast around 8 o'clock, the tables were full. At other Toyoko Inns, there were bento containers in the guest rooms to take home, but not here. Even after eating, many customers are so absorbed in their smartphones that they can't see their surroundings, making it difficult to secure a seat. I was wondering why they weren't taking measures like setting up temporary tables or providing take-out lunch containers to the room, even though they knew it would be small and crowded.Moreover, many of the side dishes for breakfast were empty, so I had to ask my auntie for food to come out. I agree with reducing food loss, but I would like to be more aware of the situation when replenishing food.Other than that, the location and rooms are very good!Nara Park is also within walking distance, making it perfect for sightseeing.

This is a Korean review.I stayed in a single room while traveling solo.The room was clean and spacious, and most importantly, the bed was large and the bedding was clean and fluffy.I always use Toyoko Inn for accommodation in Japan and have visited many Toyoko Inn hotels.The advantage of Toyoko Inn is that you can receive good room conditions and breakfast service at a reasonable price, and friendly service no matter where you go.I think the people who gave it a low review probably gave it a low review compared to other Toyoko Inn branches, since it is a Jumba branch.Compared to other hotels, I think Toyoko Inn Kintetsu Nara Ekimae deserves a higher rating.

Good location and high cost performance. If you want to sightsee in Nara, you can do it by bicycle, bus, foot, or train. As someone like me who puts a lot of emphasis on breakfast, breakfast is okay too. …
