"房間不錯，但離車站有點遠。
但是，這次最讓我不滿的是入住溝通出現問題，令我晚上12時也困在外面。和Expedia溝通又要打開漫遊服務，打電話給客服。但溝通完又進不了房間，最後客服跟我說要我自己另找房間。當刻已經凌晨1時了，十分絕望底下，回車站附近去找了網吧打算休息一下。當我到了網吧時，客服又經電郵聯絡我可以回去住了，當下真是十分生氣。已經多付了漫遊服務費用，又多付了網吧費用，而且客服又幫不了我，態度也極差，害我在凌晨時間來回幾次本身已經離車站有點遠的民宿幾次，完全覺得客服在玩弄我。
對房間本身沒有什麼不滿，甚至覺得很 舒服。但希望下次可以把重要資訊，或是要求回填的資料，可以獨立傳給我，而不是藏在一大段小文字當中。而且還是全日文，沒看到或是看不明白就會像我這次，差點流落街頭。最後我只小睡了數小時便Checkout了，到現在也還是很累⋯"

Two streets from a metro station and one street from a convenience store. Walking distance from Shinjuku.
Definitely worth the price."

I wasn't sure about this hotel when I booked it, I was choosing out of two. I'm glad i picked this one. It was difficult to find initially because we took the wrong train exit. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was busy.

Really good hotel in a great location a short walk from the JR station at Ikebukuro. The area around the hotel and station has a number of department stores and hundreds of small shops, bars, restaurants and everything you would need during your stay.
The JR line is the main line that does a loop around most of the places in Tokyo you would want to visit plus there are a few other lines that have a stop at this station.
Overall a great hotel in a fantastic location and I enjoyed my second...

This is the second time we’ve stayed here. Both times as a family of 5 staying in 1 room.
We didn’t spend much time in the room or hotel other than to sleep but it was spacious and well appointed.
The hotel is very close to 4 stations and only a short walk to Tokyo Dome and with plenty of eating places close by.

This was a very conveniently located, reasonably priced hotel in Tokyo that was clean, friendly and had everything you could need. The onsen/ofuro baths were lovely.
My only issue is, as with many hotels in Japan, they try to force you to check in at a kiosk. I like the personal touch of a check in desk, and had to go to one anyway because of my foreign passport. I want to live world where I still get checked in by real people and I should have been given the choice.
