The bed is too firm and small for a “double”. No temp control plus the hospital lighting combined did not yield a sense of comfort. Breakfast was good considering it’s free and the location is very close to Sunshine City.

Location of the hotel is great!! 2 mins walk from sunshine city and 4 mins walk from parco. There are also a lot of animate related store nearby! The staff is super welcoming and helpful. The room is a little small though.

I particularly appreciated the staff and their support whenever I needed it. The location was also great and, besides the train lines, there is also a Luup park just next to the entrance. It was extremely useful.

A nice, lived-in business hotel just a stone's throw away from the craziness of Highashi-Ikebukuro.
It was clearly a rebranded branch of an old business hotel chain, but personally, that adds to the charm to me. Showa/bubble-era places have extra appeal that I look for when I travel to Japan.
Good breakfast, and amenities relative to the price paid.

Hotel is in quiet area but very close to Sunshine City, shopping and restaurant. About 10-15 mins walk to Metro. The wifi network is unstable. Love the free buffet breakfast with lot of different variety dishes everyday, great staff and service, thank you.

The staffs are very friendly. I also like the included breakfast. I don’t like that there seems to be smoky smell coming from the central air conditioning system. This hotel still use a physical metal key (no electronic card key)and only one key is being issued to each room, although you can leave your key at the front desk when going out. Overall, the staff are the stars for this hotel.

The hotel's location is great, just in the direction of the footbridge opposite Notari. If you take the Airport Limousine and get off at Sunshine Prince, it's about a 10-minute walk to the hotel. All the front desk staff I interacted with were very friendly. The hotel room is small, and to open your suitcase, you need to place it on the bed. The breakfast is good, with two or three dishes that change daily. The only downside is the shower faucet, which is too light—when you turn on the shower, the faucet tilts completely towards the wall, making it difficult to shower comfortably. However, after all, I got what I paid for.
