I stayed at this hotel almost every time I come to Tokyo and I travel to Tokyo a lot. This hotel is conveniently located next to ikebukuro station. Although the rooms are on the smaller side the location is what matters to me.

I enjoy western style breakfast and the offerings here were tasty. The eggs had a nice flavor. It would be nice if there was a proper granola mix to sprinkle on the yogurt instead of corn flakes, but I was satisfied with my breakfast every day. Coffee and a nice smoothie potion are available as well for a nice energy boost.
I stayed in the superior room and the bed was a bit hard but for the price I felt it was a good value.

The location was convenient, close to Ikebukuro station along the Yamamote train line, restaurants and cafes. However the bed was very uncomfortable and laundry facilities inadequate. Some staff were a little unfriendly

The room and the staff were great overall. My only complaints was that the hotel has central air, so I wasn’t able to have the air on unless I wanted heat and I normally like my room on the cooler side. The location is great, though it can be a little loud because of being so close to the train station. Overall I had a good experience and would book with them again in the future.
