The hotel offers a solid experience with its clean and comfortable rooms. It's conveniently located near Ikebukuro station, making it easy to explore the area. However, the service can be a bit strict regarding check-in times, and the overall atmosphere feels rather outdated. The communal bath is a nice touch, but the outdoor pool was out of service during my visit.

The hotel offers a very good location, just a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro station with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. While the price is low and it’s clean and comfortable, the hotel itself feels quite old and could certainly use some modernization. Additionally, the non-smoking room had a lingering smoke smell, which was disappointing. Overall, it provides decent value for a budget stay, but it’s not without its flaws.

The hotel has a fantastic location just a short 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro station, surrounded by popular shops and restaurants. It's a great place to spend a couple of days without needing to travel far. However, the hotel could use some renovations, as it feels quite dated and had a lingering smoke smell in the non-smoking room. The communal bath was a nice touch, but overall, it's very basic and not overly luxurious.

The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from Ikebukuro station, surrounded by various shops and restaurants. While the building shows its age and could benefit from some upgrades, it's clean and comfortable overall. The communal bath was a highlight of my stay, but the outdoor pool was out of service, which was disappointing. The pricing is reasonable for the area, but I did experience some issues with the check-in process and an unexpected smoking smell in my non-smoking room.

The hotel is located just a five-minute walk from Ikebukuro station, making it easy to explore the area filled with famous shops and restaurants.
