7.5Verified guest“The location was perfect, right near Ikebukuro Station and easy for transport, yet away from the chaos of Shibuya, with nice restaurants and lively alleyways around. Free internet was a bonus, and the staff were accommodating and friendly. Cheap laundry, average but comfortable rooms.”
7.5Verified guest“Amazing location, a stone's throw from Ikebukuro Station, which connects you to all of Tokyo. The staff were brilliant, helpful, spoke fluent English, and were eager to help navigate the city. The traditional room had a slight smell when we arrived, but opening the window for five minutes fixed it. The futons were great and we slept soundly. Close to restaurants and karaoke bars, highly recommended for budget travellers. Free Wi-Fi was also a big help.”
