Reviews
Stayed 2 nights. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, which is quite convenient for getting around Tokyo. Along the way from the station to the hotel, there are several convenience stores like FamilyMart and 7-Eleven, making it easy to grab snacks or drinks anytime. One nice feature is the separate onsen for male and female guests, which is great for relaxing after a long day of exploring. I also liked that the hotel allows guests to choose their own pillow size, which made sleeping more comfortable. Another highlight is the welcome bar from 5pm to 9pm, offering free soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. The downside is that the room is quite small, which is typical for Tokyo hotels. There’s also limited space if you have more than two large suitcases. Overall, it’s a good option for travelers looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Ikebukuro.
Today we experienced a fire alarm at the hotel, and unfortunately the situation was handled in a very disorganized manner. After the alarm went off, an announcement was made in Japanese only. Given that this is an international hotel accommodating guests from all over the world, we expected an English announcement to follow. Many guests, including ourselves, were left confused about what was happening and what actions we were supposed to take. When we went downstairs, the hallway was filled with other guests who were equally unsure of what to do. Upon reaching the lobby, it was crowded with lodgers, yet there were no visible staff members present to provide guidance or reassurance. Approximately 15 minutes later, a receptionist briefly appeared, made another announcement in Japanese only, and then returned to the back office. No staff were available to answer questions or provide direction. We understand that emergency situations can be fast-paced and stressful. However, in life-and-death situations, clear communication is essential. There should at minimum be bilingual (Japanese and English) emergency announcements to ensure the safety of all guests.
It’s always a hit and miss with the service you get here. For a hotel, you would think that the front desk would speak at least a little bit of English, but often the staff don’t speak ANY. You have to use your own translation tool too. For the duration we are here, all of us got asked 3 times within 5 minutes by the same staff what our room number was while we were waiting in the lobby just because 3 of us were chilling there waiting for someone, and she wanted to confirm we had more than 1 room for 3 people or else she wanted to charge us for the extra person. It feels like prison instead of a hotel They newly implemented charging for storage your luggages if one room has over 2 which is even more ridiculous.
I rarely write online reviews, but this time I felt I had to share my experience after staying at this hotel for six nights. First of all, the room was extremely dirty. There was a lot of hair on the bed, which made me doubt whether the bedsheets had been changed. From their condition, it was obvious they were not fresh — both the bedsheet and duvet cover looked overused and worn, as if they had been used many times without proper replacement. Second, the toilet door had stains on it. They looked like food sauce stains, which is completely unacceptable in a hotel room. I found this very disturbing and could not accept such poor hygiene standards. Finally, if you are considering booking this hotel because of its hot spring facilities, I would strongly say no. During my stay, I noticed that while most guests followed the rules, some tourists who did not fully understand the hot spring etiquette placed their slippers on the towels provided on the locker room floor instead of leaving them on the shoe rack. This suggests that similar situations may have happened before, raising serious concerns about cleanliness. Given the overall condition of the room, I find it hard to believe that the hot spring water is changed or maintained properly and frequently.
I stayed one night in the single room here. The room is tiny. There is a column in the middle next to the bed. To compensate for this, the bed frame was designed so that there was space underneath to house the fridge, rubbish bin and chair, or your suitcase if you so wish. There is only a small coffee table in the room and no desk. The coffee table can hardly hold a 13-inch laptop. The mattress was comfortable. The beanbag pillow takes some getting used to. I don't think a long term stay in such a room will be viable due to the size and lack of desk. I do like the shower whose angle can be adjusted. They have microwaves and water machines on every floor. Very convenient. There are 2 elevators, no need to wait long for one. The welcome bar was quite nice and cozy. It's not too close to the train station. Breakfast sells for 1300 Yen.
