Central Hotel Toride

A Hotel about a 5-minute walk from the east exit of Toride Station. The route is straightforward, so you likely won’t get lost, but the front desk is on the second floor. If you have a suitcase, you can use the elevator located to the left after going up a short flight of stairs. Either way, you do have to climb a few steps… I ended up checking in after midnight, but since I had contacted them in advance, the front desk staff were very pleasant and accommodating. For female guests, they provide an amenity set including skincare items (makeup remover, face wash, toner, and emulsion), bath salts, a sheet mask, hairbrush, cotton set, and a disposable body sponge (or possibly a towel). The skincare items were placed next to the front desk as well, so guests who want them can likely pick them up. At the back left of the front desk area there are self-serve coffee/tea stations (coffee black tea green tea), available freely during your stay. Free newspapers are also available. The Room is typical for a Business Hotel—nothing particularly good or bad. The air conditioner is old and only has simple “low–middle–high” style controls by the bed, which made me slightly uneasy at first; however even on low it worked well enough. There’s probably no timer function. Breakfast is free: in the morning you pick it up in front of reception and eat it in your Room. You receive two sturdy reusable bento-style containers—one with side dishes and one with white rice—plus instant miso soup and stick-type tea separately. Some Reviews say breakfast isn’t good; this time it included salmon fry fried egg chicken sautéed wakame side dish and natto It wasn’t amazing but it wasn’t bad either I appreciated it Note that breakfast cannot be taken off-site The morning staff were also cheerful and pleasant Even on Saturday I was able to stay for just over 6 000 yen with all these services making this an excellent value Hotel

Although it’s right in front of the station, I stayed for two nights at a very reasonable price. I was satisfied with both the Room and the breakfast. I used a non-smoking single Room. It was small but clean and well kept, and the bed and bathroom/toilet were comfortable. Since my Room was on the top (9th) floor, I had a great view and could watch trains crossing the Tone River. I’ve stayed at another Business Hotel in this town, but their breakfast area was cramped and the food wasn’t very good. Here, from 6:30 a.m., they offered a compact boxed meal that even included miso soup you could prepare yourself, which I enjoyed in my Room. Coffee service was also available.
