The location is excellent, just a quick four minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, and there’s a 7-Eleven right downstairs which makes it super convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was clean with all the basics you need.
That said, I stayed in three different rooms at this hotel, and this particular one was by far the smallest.
I only had carry-on bags, and there wasn’t enough space to open them unless I put them on the bed or the small desk. The desk didn’t even have a proper chair, just a low cushion seat like a footstool, so it wasn’t comfortable to sit and work on a laptop.
The building itself feels a bit old, especially the elevator and hallways, and the lighting throughout is quite dim.
The beds are firm, which is pretty standard in Japan, but from a North American perspective they can feel quite hard. If you have a sensitive back, definitely ask for an extra duvet for more cushioning.
Overall, the location and service were great, but the room was extremely compact and not ideal if you need space or plan to work from the room.
