3 star Hotels in Ikebukuro

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was large with a nice bathroom. The wifi was fSt and the bed was very comfortable. All staff were helpful and highly respectful. I found the location to be ideal with easy access to the train station and other prime areas of Tokyo. Wish I was there now!

Awesome location, hotel itself is located in a big shopping centre, near Tokyu hands, in less than 5 min walk to main roads of ikebukuro, around 10 min to ikebukuro station, there is limousine bus stop just outside of hotel. There's LAN cable for free access to internet (not that quick). Rooms are small (but like most accommodation in Tokyo). Housekeeping workers do not speak English, which may lead to some miscommunications here and there.

Location was 5 mins walk from Ikebukuro Station. Hotel room size was comfortable relative to other hotels in Tokyo. Great shower facilities and water pressure was excellent. Daily breakfast was included. It was buffet style, selection was not extensive. It would have been better if the selections vary from day to day. However, there are plentiful of food choices in the vicinity of hotel, round the clock. And the convenience store is just across the street. Overall great stay!

It wasn't the easiest hotel to find once you got out if the Ikebukuro JR West Exit. There is actually a better exit which unfortunately I don't recall the number. It is the one opposite of C7 (right beside IOIO department store). Once you come out, just go one block deeper (opposite direction from the main street) and you will be at the hotel. After that it was a great experience staying there. I didn't think I would use the washer, but it was hot in Tokyo. And I had a continued trip to another country for another 7 days, so I thought about not to carry sweaty t-shirts over this long stretch of time. And it worked out great, and I washed a new t-shirt that I bought too! Do be careful because not all t-shirts are pre-shrunk. I also figured out how to reach the East exit through surface streets which I found more interesting than going underground. Part of that is I have taken many trains and kind of bored of the underground shops. Bring a pair of nice walking shoes, you'll appreciate this advice.

This hotel is a new favorite! Bellclassic is just outside Otsuka station (walk about 2 min). From Narita, took the Keisei Skyliner to Nippori (36 min) then transfered to Yamanote line to Otsuka (10 min). So fast! I like that Otsuka station itself is small and easy to navigate. Just one train line runs through it. It would be great for a person new to Tokyo. Because it's not too busy or congested, you never have to fight crowds. It is also on the Yamanote line which circles the city & stops at the major parts of town. The next station is Ikebukuro & it only takes 11 minutes to Shinjuku. Since I often travel with a senior, I look for escalators and elevators. I don't recall either at this station. This is also an issue for me as I travel with a suitcase. Fortunately, the flight of stairs down to street level was short. Went out the south exit, turned right and walked 1-2 min to the hotel. The hotel itself is nice and seems new. There's even sightseeing info on the TV's home screen. Next time, I'd like to try riding the Toden Arakawa streetcar. It looks cute and nostalgic.

This hotel was a great value. The rooms are small, but there are non-smoking floors, which is a plus. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the Ikebukuro train station. The staff understood and spoke some English and were very helpful and nice. They were happy to store our luggage when we had to check out, but had a late flight.

Very well located and easy to find from Ikebukuro JR station. Its located at Exit C6, about 10mins walk from the station. Breakfast is simple but good enough to fill your stomach. Room is average size but is clean and neat. Both Wifi and LAN is fast and hotel staffs are very friendly.
