In the absence of a Toyoko Inn in Kochi we chose this hotel instead. Similar (slightly higher) price to Toyoko, but with a very different, designer-style image. The rooms are small and not as well equipped or comfortable as the Toyoko, and a bit stuffy, so I am afraid that when T Inn eventually opens up in Kochi the 7 Days will lose business. 10-15 minute walk from the station but very well located close to the action zone in the city centre, so loads of restaurants to choose from within 5-10 minute walk. The saving grace of the hotel was the breakfast: an eclectic mix of fresh fruit, orange juice juice, salad, boiled eggs, various pastries and coffee, all in a pleasant dining area. Not so uncompromisingly Japanese as the staple Toyoko-style rice triangles, miso and pickles, and just great to have fresh fruit!
