In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Excellent location near Ikebukuro Station — Guests consistently highlight the hotel's proximity to JR Ikebukuro Station, the Yamanote line, and nearby shops and restaurants. The airport express train and airport bus stop within easy reach.
  • Well-regarded breakfast — Breakfast is frequently praised as savoury with a good selection of Japanese and European options. Some guests noted the spread stayed the same over a longer stay, but overall satisfaction is high.
  • Clean, modern rooms — Guests describe the rooms as clean, well-equipped, and a good size, with modern design and amenities like tea/coffee facilities and electronic key cards.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Staff service has been highlighted as extremely helpful and friendly, accommodating guests' needs, and even offering a refund for an early checkout after an earthquake.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited on-site facilities — One guest noted the hotel has 'no facilities' beyond the basics, and another mentioned a lack of body lotion in the room, which can matter for international travellers.
  • Breakfast may become repetitive — While the breakfast spread is good, a guest staying five nights observed it was the same every day, which might feel monotonous on longer stays.
  • Value could be better — The overall rating (8.0) is slightly below the area average (8.9), and one guest felt the price was fair but not exceptional for the class.

“Great value for money in Toshima, very close to the metro station, a 7-Eleven, and restaurants. Rooms are a good size and feel brand-new, with central heating, electronic key cards, and tea and coffee facilities. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the food was good.”

8Verified guest

“Location is convenient – a short walk from the train station, restaurants next door, and a mini market. Amenities are fine, though body lotion was missing which mattered for a traveller from abroad. Breakfast was tasty with good selections and the spaghetti was fantastic.”

8Verified guest

“Very convenient location, walking distance to the train station and near shopping centres like Seibu, Parco, and Sunshine Plaza. Breakfast was included and though it stayed the same over five days, it offered a decent spread. After an earthquake cut our trip short, the hotel kindly refunded us for the unused last night.”

8Verified guest

“There's a convenient laundromat, plenty of suitcase space, and the design is modern.”

“Clean and well-equipped rooms, reasonable location, but no extra facilities. Fair price.”
