The best way is that you reserve hotel near Toyama station. There are a lot of hotels, shops and restaurants there. It takes about 20 minutes from Toyama station to University of Toyama by tram or car.

I am not so sure that staffs of hotels can speak English because I have never asked something at Japanese hotels in English. In some hotels, you can ask in English. But I am afraid that such hotels are expensive.
