toyoko-iin

I am thinking of booking toyoko inn chain fro family holiday. Does any one know if I can book a twin room for me and my 3 kids (ages 9, 4 and 1)? They kids can share a bed and I am happy to share with the baby as well. I am also having trouble becoming a member of their loyalty club. Can any one help there as well? I want to be able to book as early as possible and i have been told all the better hotels get taken quick.

I am now sharing a twin room with my wife and 2 kids (6 & 9). so why not?

And you have to go to toyoko Inn in person to join their loyalty club.

Hey Chris - I have heard the rooms are quite small - is it squashy with that many in there? Are the twin rooms double or single beds (by western standards). Are they charging you extra for the kiddies? Mine are aged 9, 4 and 1. Do you think that the business twin will be any more spacious or bigger - we are really only after somewhere to sleep shower and change. Will I need to inform them when I am booking that there will be 4 of us in there? Any other recommendations for travelling around Japan with the little ones?

Cheers, Liz

The twin beds are 4 ft wide each but there is hardly any room around the beds. I think that 3 kids-even with one being only 1 year old is pushing it ! Hotels have to follow fire regulations that limit the number of occupants in a room for safety reason. They are also a business that must make money! Already you and your 14 years old are the maximum occupancy for a twin room!. You should rent a single room for the older kid

Toyoko Inns are great and we have used them on 3 Japan visits.
If you search under the correct spelling there are hundreds of questions and answers available to you

Was at Kyoto Karasuma Shijo Toyoko-Inn 2008 dec, We ( 2 adults and a 4yr old ) stayed at the twin room. Room is small eventhough this is the biggest twin at the hotel, there is only enough space to move around and we had to open our 29" luggage on the bed. The bed however is a super single size bed so it will be enough for an adult and a 4-6yr old kid. We tried to put the 2 beds together but the hotel decor had a bed lamp and drawer which we cannot shift away.
Other than the room size, we were pretty happy with the cleanniness, hotel friendly staff and the free breakfast.

allows children sharing a room with their parents.

No extra charge will be charged if you
do not ask for extra pillows..etc

The rooms are honestly very small but if you push the beds together (I am sure you can figure out how to do it and how to return to its original position) you should have sufficient room to accommodate all.

this question may not be limited to Toyoko Inn, but is it generally acceptable for 2 adults and a 3year old child to stay in a Double or twin room in Japan hotels? the 3yearold child will be sharing the bed (no extra bed)

In many reservation sites, we are not able to select this option.
