I don't normally write reviews but I thought I should with this one. This is a really lovely little hotel in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. I've been to Tokyo four times now and this is by far my favourite. I really like this area as it is quieter (by Tokyo standards) part of the city, but still has excellent shopping and restaurants... More

Close to the JR station and easy walk. The hotel feels comfortable and modern. Staff friendly and great breakfast including both Japanese and western style foods. Although the room is a small, it's what you should expect for this price range in Tokyo. Plenty of cheap eating places around and the usual department stores. Would go back again. More

Recently had a 4 night stay here at “The B”. The prior reviews on the hotel are accurate, overall it was a very good value for the money. Location is excellent, about the same distance from the main train station as the Hotel Metropolitan but on the much more active east side and easier to get to the action. Breakfast... More

The pros: Great location, just a few minutes' walk away from Ikebukuro Station, a major railway station in Tokyo. There are plenty of restaurants and electronic shops in that area and Shinjuku is just 10-minute train ride away. The hotel's breakfast buffet selection and food quality was great. The cons: We booked a triple room and they prepared three single... More

I had a very agreeable stay in this hotel! The location is excellent, just two minutes from the JR Ikebukuro station, even without the need to cross any major streets. The neighbourhood is very lively with lots of small and larger restaurants and shops. My comfortable room on the top floor offered a great view over the surrounding streets and... More

This is an Excellent Hotel! When I booked this hotel, reviews told me that the area was fairly bohemian and sleazy, so regrettably I only booked one night, but we didn't get the sense of sleazy at all. This is the entertainment district with lots of teenagers shopping, playing pinball machines and eating hamburgers. The hotel itself was wonderfully modern... More

Comfortable hotel in bustling Ikebukuro, very close to train and multiple subway lines (5 mins easy level walk), shops, restaurants, electronic and department stores including Sunshine City. Our triple room was small as expected with beds in a row as per website pic but we had little luggage so manageable and included a desk and chair. Comfy beds but typically... More

Location is great, about 5 minutes slow walk from Ikebukuro station even with heavy luggage. You don't have to cross any big roads or stairs which is a plus when dragging luggage along. Rooms are small but actually decently-sized by Tokyo standards. Design of the rooms are what I'd call "boutique-lite". There's a universal plug in the room for electronics... More
