Best hotels & accommodations in Ikebukuro

This is the last night, 7 in total. I didn't hold out big expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. We arrived very early hours of the morning after bus dropped us of at Ikebukuro station after a very delayed flight. Eventually found the hotel, quick check in we were up to our room and hit the pillow. On waking was wowed by the most amazing view from our 24 floor win...

Ikebukuro is one of the best locations to stay in Tokyo, and Hotel Metropolitan is one of the best hotels to stay due to its easy and convenient access to public transport. It is less than 5 mins walk away from the Ikebukuro train station (narita express stops here). Airport limo bus also stops in this hotel in Ikebukuro. Yes, it is pricey. The rooms are not large for...

Boutique Hotel in the heart of Ikebukuro. Take the exit from East gate, meet Zara and Big Camera then on the next is Centurion Ikebukuro Hotel. The location short walking to Ikebukuro station and shopping mall ,7-11 on 1st floor ,Denny restaurant on 2nd floor. Metro subway and JR station is in this area. From Haneda Airport , you can take the airport limou...

Great location, located at the end of Sunshine-Dori, close to city centre and shops. There are quite a number of convenience stores and supermarkets nearby. 24-hour shop is also in 10-minute walking distance. Clean and tidy room. Nice reception and helpful staff though not all of them could understand English. I am a female travelling in Toyko alone and would defini...

The best thing about this hotel was its fantastic location, only a 3 min walk from the East Exit of the JR Ikebukuro Station which is particularly convenient if you have a JR pass and can use the Yamanote Line for free. The rooms were really modern and new and the rain shower was fantastic. Breakfast was also good to have. In all, the room isn't huge (no cupboards) but...

We booked our room for New Year's Eve ON New Year's Eve which is an extremely busy hotel day in Tokyo. We didn't expect much from the hotel since it was the only hotel in Tokyo that still had rooms for New Years. However, we were very pleasantly surprised! The staff were friendly and efficient and also spoke English. The rooms were clean and exactly what we needed for ...

No matter its sunmer (stay date 9 Aug) or winter, the location very convenient because the airport limo bus stop at nearby Ikebukuro West Exit, move down into underground walkway & you can walk with ease until the another end of Exit, once climb up the stairs, a u turn 1 min walk, you will see the side entrance of hotel. Very good spread of breakfast. Spacious roo m (e...

I stayed for 4 nights in this hotel and I wished I could have stayed longer. I had to transfer to a different hotel near Haneda airport due to my early flight. I regret that I made the transfer. Although I was nearer to the airport, Sakura Ikebukuro Hotel was still better, they made me feel at home even if it was my first time in Tokyo. This is a good hotel, with good ...

literally right next to a JR station. 1 stop N. of Ikebukuro Station. Has bike park on 2nd level. Microwave on 1st floor, vending machines, laundry. Soundproof windows. Quick stop to Ikebukuro but considerably less than a hotel there. 2 big supermarkets w/lots of produce 1 block + 3 blocks. Lots of shops + restaurants in town - Welcia, Tsutaya, Lawson, Family Mart w/in...

Pros -Super affordable (booked one night online, then extended reservation another two nights once arrived. Extension nights came down to approx ¥5000-5400) -Inexpensive laundry facilities and fairly standard functional rooms and other facilities. All kinds of toiletries and other essentials provided. Rooms have fridge, kettle, microwave, sink, AND basic stovetop if ...

WOW. There’s literally nothing I don’t like about this hotel. The room was spotless but extremely small like all Japanese hotel which I totally don’t find it as an issue as I am a petite Asian. It’s around 5-10mins walk from Ikebukuro station, with a Family Mart <1min walk away. However, the stretch of road from the train station exit to the hotel seems to be an “enter...

Excellent choice for value hotel in Tokyo. Conveniently located in Ikebukuro Station, which means that you can reach everywhere in Tokyo using Metro or JR. Easy reach to catch a Narita Express to airport as well. Ikebukuro itself is a nice neighborhood. Lots of restaurant and cafe, Big Seibu department stores and several others. Only five minutes train ride to Shinjuk...

My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Grand City. It wasn't difficult for us to find its location and there was hardly any trouble checking in. The staff was very attentive, kind and polite but if you're using English to communicate, you should slow down a bit for the staff. The double room we stayed in was clean and nice; not that spacious, but nice. We di...

having stayed at hotel changtee for 6 days, i love it there. if you are looking for a simple, no frills and clean hotel, i would recommend hotel changtee. although the rooms are small, it is sufficient for a solo traveler. there is a little pantry and kitchen which are open for guests' use. love - free wifi, near ikebukuro station, tobu, seibu, big camera, marui...

hotel has great location, just a one-minute walk from the north exit of Otsuka Station (which is on the JR Yamanote line), which makes it super easy and convenient to get around Tokyo city. Room was huge and clean for japanese sizes, you just have to take note of the height limit since this is a loft. However, we don't see this as an issue once you made a mental note...

This hotel provided all the basic amenities for a budget traveler that wants a single room with its own bathroom for the night at a good price. I paid less than $50 a night for my 6 night stay. Conveniently located near Ikebukuro Station, about 5 blocks away. They have a back door that takes you easily to Ikebukuro metro station. They offer a breakfast for a price ...

There are positive and negative reviews on this hotel. To be honest, my first impression of this hotel is slightly dated with no facilities. However, I was surprised when I entered my unit 305 to note that for a twin room, it has ample space for me and my friend to store our 2 big luggages. Note that in Japan room size is small especially for a centralized location. F...

This hotel locates at Kitagochi exit of JR Ikebukuro Station where most of the pubs and whorehouses are in vicinity. As a female travelling in Tokyo alone, I feel quite uncomfortable walking around the area after 10pm. Its only around 7 minutes walk from JR Ikebukuro Station (Minami-exit / Kita-exit). Nice and tidy room. Helpful staff at reception though most of th...

depends on how fast you walk but for us, the hotel is a 10 mins walk from Ikebukuro station. Reception is on the 2nd floor, not ideal for those with big/heavy luggages. Lots of convenience stores around (7 eleven, lawson, family mart) and with one directly on the 1st floor (ground). Usual hotel amenities with hair dryer/blower. Rooms are cleaned up everyday, towels are...

Hotel was located 2 mins from Higashi-Ikebukuro station. The room was really clean and comfortable even though Single room! If you are looking for hotels in Ikebukuro area, I recommend you stay here :) Ikebukuro area is quite nice, there are many shopping mall and shops.

I stayed there 3 nights (6-8 Dec. 2017) and wanna say I love this the most of many things I choose to do in my Tokyo's solo trip :D Such a very NICE place, cool, unique, comfortable, cleanliness, friendly staff and good location. If you travel in Tokyo by JR or Tokyo's subway, you can get to 1st floor of the building in 10 step from Ikebukuro station, C8 exit (and I ...

First time in Tokyo and loved the idea of staying in a Ryokan. Ikebukuro district was great for restaurants open late and a younger crowd. Hotel is a 5 minute walk to the JR train station. We used the Yamanoto line to get everywhere in Tokyo. Most of the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Room was comfortable and clean but had a strange smell to it. Would still rec...

Nice location. Near both JR train station and metro station ( About 5-10mins walk, just depends on your walking speed🤣). Room clean and neat, and much larger than I thought. Able to fully open my 26" luggage. Love their green policy, you may get 2 bottle of distilled water each day if you choose to just tidying up your bedsheets instead of changing it. Best for those...

I lived in a single room and the room space is enough for me to even pack my luggage in the room. It is very clean, including the room, toilet and the shower room. You don't have to worry about waiting for a long time since there are sufficient shower room (3 rooms in 2nd floor) and toilet. The location is good as well. It took me about 10 mins walk from Ikebukuro Sta...

I really enjoyed my stay here! Very easy to locate and a short walk from the train station and limousine bus stop. Very close to a lot of shops and attractions in east Ikebukuro, and the hostel itself is close to numerous convenience stores, a small supermarket, and a post office (which is where I accessed an international ATM) — would definitely reconsider staying her...

Staying at Sheena and Ippei was an absolute treat! The building itself is incredibly cute, the cafe space is cozy and the staff is incredible. Shota-san and Sachiko-san made me feel like I was home halfway across the world. The town itself is quiet but is just 1 train stop away from Ikebukuro, giving you the best of both worlds. I stayed in the dorm style room and it w...

1. house not clean enough 2. remote for light way of battery. 3. electric power for room 303 was turned off and without any notice. 4. it found flea in the carpet in room 202. 5. bidet of lavatory was broken in 2nd floor. 6. bathrooms in ground floor is dirty. as the water pressure not good enough. it affect that no hot water can be supported when we use both bathroom...

This is my 2nd time booking at Toyoko Inn Ikebukuro. Love the hotel's location, and got it for a great value. Every time I'm booking hotels, Toyoko Inn is always my first choice. The hotel price always include breakfast, which is always a deal breaker for me. This hotel always serves good breakfast. All the staff are very nice, accommodating, and are willing to help. U...

The location is good, approximately 5-10 mins from the station. The staff are very helpful, they helped me bring my large luggage to the second floor, and replied email very fast. The room has the private space which can kept my 28" baggage and a lot of things I bought. The place is clean. May considering to stay here again when I travel Tokyo. However, there was no dr...

We stay 4 nights at House Ikebukuro and the service was superb good. owner of the hotel, she is very friendly and kind. We left our big baggage at the hotel while traveling to Kyoto and Osaka with no charges at all. The hotel provide light breakfast, it helped to save a lot for budget traveler. Feel so warm like staying at own house though traveling far to Jap...

When I first walked in I was concerned because I smelled cigarettes, but it's only the man working the front desk , there's no smoking in the rest of the establishment. There is only wifi for Docomo subscribers. Breakfast is free, but I slept late and missed it, so I can't review that. Capsules are clean, and the sleeping area is nicely air conditioned. It's important ...

The hotel is located at Ikebukuro station, which is really prime as it's easy to travel to all the popular places easily via Yamamoto Line (JR Line). The service provided was really wonderful, the staff always took notice of us and greet us warmly whenever we enter or exit the hotel. And he even offered his help to carry our luggage down. The room is really huge and sp...

I'm rather picky when it comes to selecting a place to stay. but, this place was very clean either for the hotel or the hostel. i stayed 1 night at the hotel and 4-5 days at the hostel and am very satisfied with everything. the bathroom, the toilet, the bedroom were all really clean. the location is not far from Ikebukuro station exit C6. if you're looking for a budget...

It's a lovely and comfortable apartment. Nicely furnished with a balcony with a view of the city. A short walk from Higashi-Ikebukuro metro station. I'd love to stay here again!

More about Ikebukuro
Sunshine City has shops, a planetarium, aquarium, small oriental museum, theatre and the Namja Town children’s theme park. A good place to be hungry, Namja Town includes the Gyoza Stadium, Ice Cream City, and The Dessert Empire of Tokyo. The planetarium and the aquarium are on the tenth floor of the World Import Mart Building.
Sunshine City's tallest building is 240 meters high, and boasts excellent views from an observation gallery on its sixtieth floor. The lift ride up is free, and considered to be the fastest in the world; and with its illuminated dolphins and unicorns, it’s also one of the most surreal. Spread over six floors, the futuristic Toyota Amlux Auto Salon next to Sunshine City is one of the largest car showrooms in the world.
Handling more than a million passengers per day, Ikebukuro Station is surpassed only by Shinjuku Station as Japan's busiest railway station. Moving over to the west side of Ikebukero Station, and directly opposite the exit, visitors will find Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space, with its concert hall, exhibition rooms and theatres.
