Amazing hotel, services, and food.
The hotel is having all amenities needed.
They also provide public laundry machine and ice machines.
Public bath also great, 24hr services.
Breakfast is simple, complete, and delicious.
Deffinetly will back here again.
We were staying with a family of three. They don't have triple rooms, so the room is split into two. Even with two rooms, the price is still reasonable.
The rooms are mostly flat and well-maintained.
Close to Honjo-Waseda Station, free parking, a large public bath (with a Dyson hair dryer), laundry facilities, a microwave, free tea (coffee and apple cider vinegar drinks are also available until 10:00 PM), amenities, and samue-style pajamas are available for personal selection at the front desk (you can choose between memory foam and marshmallow pillows, subject to restrictions), and more. There's a large supermarket and laundry next door, as well as a delicious bakery, family restaurant, and convenience store nearby, making it incredibly convenient.
The front desk staff are all very kind and cheerful.
My only complaint is that the walls are thin, so you can often hear noises from the neighboring rooms (earplugs are provided, which is unusual). The lockers in the changing room by the public bath don't have locks. I haven't booked a room with breakfast yet, so I'd like to try that next time.
Every time I visit Japan, no matter where I go first, my last stop is always Tokyo. And when I'm in Tokyo, Urawa Pines Hotel is my absolute top choice. While it's located at Urawa Station in Saitama Prefecture, it's incredibly close to Tokyo, and the transportation is unbelievably convenient. Let me elaborate:
* **To Ueno or Tokyo:** No transfers needed, and you can take a rapid train.
* **To Ikebukuro or Shinjuku:** Again, no transfers, and a rapid train gets you there quickly.
* **To Karuizawa:** Just hop on the Shinkansen at Omiya Station.
* **To Yokohama:** Direct train, no transfers. You can even get directly to Odawara and Atami.
Besides the convenient transportation, the shopping is also a big draw, with Isetan and PARCO right at the station exit. The small street leading to the hotel is a bustling food street, full of delicious options.
But the best part, ultimately, is the hotel itself. The rooms are spacious, bright, comfortable, and cozy. Even the smaller rooms are 24 square meters, and the larger ones are 32 square meters – which is almost unbelievable in Japan, where space is at such a premium. What's even more surprising is the price.
For anyone doing a self-guided tour of Japan, Urawa Pines Hotel should be your first choice. Highly, highly recommend it!!!
The hotel is a five-minute walk from Omiya Station, which is a major plus as it's very close to the subway. There are also frequent trains to the city center, and plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby, including a beautiful large park! The service was truly outstanding. I asked the front desk for local food recommendations, and they quickly printed out a food map for me. There were quite a few tour groups staying there, but my room was spacious and comfortable, and being on a high floor offered beautiful views. If you need cleaning, you just need to let the front desk know in advance. On the downside, it's quite a distance from central Tokyo, requiring multiple transfers, so you need to pay attention to your directions. Also, there's a cemetery nearby, and you can see it from the room if you open the window. Something to consider if that bothers you.
The hotel is quite new and very clean. It's close to the station, making transportation very convenient. A friend on the 9th floor mentioned that the bathroom floor was a bit sloped, and they weren't sure why. It's worth noting that the hotel doesn't have its own parking. Overnight parking at the neighboring mall's underground lot costs over 5000 JPY, so I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're driving.
Close to the station.
There are few shops around the station for those who want a dinner without alcohol.
The room is large and the building is clean.
Amenities other than toothbrushes are paid.
It is a hotel that can spend very comfortable. I would like to use it if I have another chance.
It's just a 10-minute walk from Omiya Station, entirely accessible via a pedestrian bridge. What a pleasant surprise to find there's even a direct connection to Sonic City Hall for concerts! During check-in, I was delighted to meet a Chinese-speaking staff member. The room was immaculately clean, and the view from the window was fantastic! The 12 PM check-out time was incredibly convenient for us late-risers. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay, and we'll definitely be back next year!
The room was clean and comfortable, but just before 10am when I was getting ready to check out, there was a knock from someone who seemed to be a bed maker or cleaner, but before I could respond, they opened the door and unlocked it. I was disappointed that they opened the door before 10am, even though I was satisfied with the room.
This hotel was a fantastic find! The large public bath on the second floor was super convenient, making it unnecessary to shower in the room and keeping the room dry. A 14.8 sqm room was perfectly adequate for one person. All rooms face south, so the futons get sun exposure daily, and you can open the windows for ventilation, which is a big plus. The mini-fridge has an on/off switch, so you can turn it off to reduce noise and energy consumption if you don't need it. The room was brand new and odor-free. If you don't leave your room before 10 AM, they won't clean it that day, but you can leave your trash bin outside your door for staff to empty. No water is provided in the room, but there's a Lawson and 7-Eleven within 10 meters downstairs. On the first floor, you can self-service toiletries, tea bags, and ice cream bars. Electric bicycles are available for rent at the entrance. Getting to Tokyo and Shinjuku is easy, but make sure to take the rapid or limited express trains on the subway, as the local trains that stop at every station can be a bit of a drag. For 390, the room rate includes breakfast and two hot spring baths a day. It's less than a 10-minute walk from Omiya Station. The east exit has Takashimaya, while the west exit has Sogo and 0101 (with a large Montbell on the first floor where you can get tax refunds). There are also plenty of dining options nearby. Windsor Racket is about 10 meters to the left in front of the hotel, though they don't have many new arrivals. Inside the station, you'll find Lumine and Lumine 2, which includes Beams. Isomaru Suisan is just 50 meters outside the west exit of the station. Omiya is also a Shinkansen station, making it very convenient to go north to Karuizawa. It only took about an hour from the hotel to the Karuizawa Outlet. The station itself is huge and often sells delicious and reasonably priced local strawberries, tomatoes, and apples. There's also a branch of the famous Sembikiya strawberry cream sandwich shop inside the station. The hotel's breakfast was incredibly rich and satisfying, mainly Japanese-style with plenty of soups and dishes. The value for money is exceptional. They also offer unlimited free takeaway coffee every day. I feel like this is the most cost-effective hotel I've stayed at in Japan. Staying for a full week costs about the same as one night in the city. It's an absolute steal!
The rice balls for breakfast were delicious. Thank you for the meal. I stayed here for an event at Tama Arena. It was a bit of a hassle because I had to change trains twice, but it was less than a minute's walk from Iwatsuki Station to the hotel, and there was a convenience store right next door, so I was able to relax at the hotel.
Very Good

GGuest User4 Senior backpackers in Japan ”stumbled” onto this gem of a Japanese inn next to the Arakawa River. Less than 10 minute walk from the Kami-Nagatoro station and 10 minute walk to Nagatoro Station. We chose location due to proximity to river and start of river boat downstream river ride-sites. We were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality shown throughout our two-day stay. We were late in coming out of the mountains of Gunma prefecture (2 hour plus train ride away) and called the inn to notify and were subsequently told that this was no problem for check-in and supper. Fortunately we made up time lost and got to the inn earlier that expected and enjoyed the serene tree-lined river and men's and women's communal furo (shower/bath also in rooms) with outdoor views before dining. Then...we were overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of the dinner! A real treat to get a 7+ course Japanese meal featuring the specialty vegetables and protein of the region! Upon departure we chose to walk with packs back to Kami-Nagatoro Station, along the river, but the proprietor had the Inn van ready and waiting to take us to the train station. The included breakfast's were also multi-course Japanese style, with regional specialties.
Granted, the hotel is somewhat time-worn, probably seeing its zenith in the 80's and 90's but all the facilities were cleaning, usable and safe. All staff went made a great effort to ensure that we were enjoying the locale and the Inn. This location, in our opinion is much more serene and ”touristy” than the main area surrounding Nagatoro station but is only 10 minutes walking from that action. If opportunity arises, we will return. The Saitama Museum of Natural is just across the street but this large and modern facility was not open on our late arrival and on Monday. We left on Tuesday morning, but wanted to visit this place also.
GGuest UserThis is the third time I've stayed at Toyoko INN. I can only say that the hotel is really amazing. Whether you are traveling alone or with friends and family, I highly recommend this hotel. The location is convenient, the hotel is clean and tidy, and you can get a comfortable rest safely. The front desk staff is also very good and can help at any time with any questions. The hotel has a luggage storage service. Although the check-out time is early, it is really convenient to store the luggage until you go out and come back to pick it up. The hotel also provides breakfast, and the self-service bathroom products at the front desk are also very thoughtful. I highly recommend this hotel.
RReygiezelAll in all good but check in is so very late 16::00 afternoon then the check out is very early 10:00 in the morning that’s only not good if you are travel along time you need to rest but this is not good to the travelers but they have considerable reason if they finished to clean the room they give you have to check in right away before 4 of the time as the time for check in that’s only the main reason that not accessible ?but it’s recommended also to those want to stay near in station of train and bus , near convinience store and restaurants to eat .

AAnonymous UserThe cover of the air conditioner was half detached and about to fall off.
The extension cord had about five outlets, but three of them were not working.
The water tap was broken and leaked when turned, and the amount of water was so small that it was difficult to adjust the temperature of the shower. The water wouldn't stop unless you turned it quite a bit, and I was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of dripping water.
The staff were very nice.
GGuest UserThe room was fine and worth the price. We originally booked a twin room and a single room (traveling with 3 people). A week before departure, a friend's daughter joined us and wanted to change the order from a single bed to a twin bed, but maybe time was tight and the twin room was full. I saw that the single room could have an extra bed, so I applied on the app but never got a response. As a result, when I got to the hotel, the front desk said that they could not add an extra bed! After communicating many times, it was still not possible. We could only book an extra single room. Of course, the room price was much more expensive, but there was nothing we could do. I felt ripped off and very disappointed
Service: Poor, poor, poor
AAnonymous UserI stayed here when I came to Saitama alone last year. This year, I chose a familiar hotel with my friends.
The single room feels larger, and the double room with a suitcase will feel a little crowded, but the space under the bed is empty, and the suitcase can be opened and pushed in for temporary storage.
The breakfast is basically the same every day. The curry rice, soup, drinks, and coffee are all fixed. The specific bread and hot dishes provided have changed. You won’t feel bored even if you stay for a long time.
There are microwaves and vending machines in the lobby.
P3 is Kita Asaka Station, which is very close to the hotel and very convenient. It takes about 1 minute to walk from the station. There are also many food nearby, including Lawson and Family Mart 711.
Nnizam.mrThis is my 2nd time staying with R9 chain hotels. i like the concept for touring cyclist. Theyre cabin style, but the room is adequate with amenities.
For cyclist, the entrace door has awning roof that you can request it to be extended to shade your bicycle.
And besides they have complimentary bento/icecream/coffee, room is equiped with fridge n microwave too
GGuest UserBeautiful traditional Japanese stay. It was a bit further away from the city, but the experience made it worthwhile. Dinner was excellent, with many creative dishes. It was also included in the price. The onsen was very well kept, and the place was clean. Would 100% recommend staying here.
