Travel with Mom”

Firstly, it was hard to find the location. We reach Ikebukuro at about 11PM and so tired of long flight. So I will share the direction to the hotel, hope that none of you will get lost or roam-around to find it like me: Out from Ikebukuro Station (Central Gate exit). You will see Mc.D in front of you at the otherside. Just go to your right until police office. Cross the road, continue left and go straight (until the big signal near the mall - I forgot the mall name). Cross the road, go right and keep straight until you see Gottie's Beef at the right side (2nd level). Cross the signal and choose left. At first junction, choose right (near seven eleven). Then you'll see the hotel and the caffe. My stay here was ok and fine. Staff were friendly and kind. Room was clean and we had a good stay.

Nice stay”

Stayed in the hotel with my parents, and we took the superior double room with extra bed. The room size was okay for us, but may not be spacious enough for those with lots of big luggage. We borrowed a hairdryer from the front desk and we were allowed to use the shared kitchen. It would be even better if a kettle could be provided for each room. The hotel was within walking distance to the Ikebukuro station, which is one of the main subway stations in Tokyo. There were many restaurants and convenient stores nearby so looking for food was not a problem for us. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There was a 4G phone in the room which was handy as we travelled around Tokyo. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we would choose to stay here if we were to travel to Tokyo again.

Good location but hotel was quite old”

We stayed in a double room with extra bed. Room was old and the carpet was so dirty but overall cleanliness was ok. The location is good, not too far from Ikebukuro station and there are many restaurants around. The front desk member who handled our check-in was not friendly but others were nice.

Great stay”

Great location, as it's close to the C9 exit for Ikebukuro. Kitchen is helpful, and there's also a cafe with a good deal on breakfast. Rooms are a bit thin though, as I was able to hear people's voices from outside.

Excellent”

The hotel location is walking distance from Ikebukuro station west gate. There's 711 around the corner, vending machines in front of hotel, also the hotel have a cafe and sell halal ramen for relatively cheap price. So you don't have to worry about food or drinks. The surrounding is nice and lively. The room and the toilet is small (but hey you're in japan), but it's clean and everything work well. Also they have luggage room, so you can store the luggage here, before check in or after check out if you want to go around without carrying your luggage. The staffs are all very nice and friendly. Will recommend everyone to stay here while in Tokyo.

Very helpful staff and Excellent location”

It's my second time staying at Sakura Hotel Ikebukuro. It's very affordable given its excellent location and friendly service from staff. The room is relatively spacious as compared to other hotels in tokyo! highly recommended to those who wanna a decent place to stay at affordable price! I will definitely stay again at Sakura Hotel Ikebukuro in future.

Very impressed, The best of hotel not expensive”

It is the number one choice of Hotel in Ikebukuro, return to rest again. Good location, comfortable travel and near the Ikebukuro station. Near to shopping location, famous restaurant. Worth to stay, breakfast okay.

Need to provide secured lockers”

My money got stolen while inside the dorm even if I was just away for a couple of minutes. It would be better to provide a secured locker for guests.

Exceptional”

The staff speak good English, and are very helpful. I was in a single room and was totally satisfied with the service. The bathroom maybe a little small for tall people (higher than 1m6) but it will not be a big problem. Breakfast was of Western type with the exception of their distinct egg soup. The hotel is super close to the station that enables you to go everywhere you want, and if you just want to hang around in the neighborhood, Ikebukuro is full of exciting things for you to explore. Totally will come back to Sakura hotel again!

Great Budget Hotel”

Great budget hotel in a great location - 5-10 minutes walk from the North or West exits of Ikebukuro Station. Best feature is the 24 hour coffee shop and the 350 yen buffet (toast, soup, coffee and tea only) breakfast. Staff are ultra friendly and the rooms are small but clean. A great base if you are visiting Tokyo.

2nd time's a real charm!”

I liked the place the first time I stayed a couple of years back, and stayed there again last week. It's just as good as I remember. I liked its location best, and also the reasonably-priced breakfast at the Cafe & Restaurant. And the staff were also very accommodating. Will definitely stay here again when I go back!

Good Location”

Lokasi yg bagus dekat dengan subway & JR station. Cafe nya selalu ramai. Dekat dengan supermarket, tmpt makan, mall. Daerah yang ramai. Staff nya baik. Free infused water. HP gratis dipinjamkan, bisa dibawa selama kita jalan. Ada Laundry coin. Bisa pinjam hairdryer, hanger, setrika, titip koper stlh check-out. Bisa beli tokyo subway pass. Kunci kamar dikasih berdasarkan kapasitas orang yang mengindap, tapi hati-hati kalau hilang akan didenda.

Excellent”

we love the free mobile phonr during out stay. helped us alot! staff were very helpful. the only downside was the free buffet brrakfast. it's only bread and coffee and some soup. but over all, we enjoyed our stay.

Cheap place to stay in tokyo”

Its has a cheaper rate than most places to stay in tokyo. They are near to many hangout spots and shopping area but not really close to a train station. It was a struggle going from ikebukuro station to the hotel. Staff are friendly and welcome to assist you 24/7. They also give you free drinks coupon for their cafe right across the street if your willing to buy a meal. Room was a standard room that each of one of you can have privacy since beds are like capsules that each contain a reading light and a outlet to charge your phones only downside with the bed is the comforter might not be the cleanest since it is not changed everytime a guest comes. Also be sure to bring your own slippers as they dont give out free slippers (you can buy one on their common area as they are selling them). Overall i would say it was a value for money and if your looking for a good cheap place to stay in you can count on this hotel.

Good location and convenience!”

Highly recommended and value for money. Good location to explore the city. The hotel is quite accessible and it only needs 5-min walk from Ikebukuro Station. Hotel staff is friendly and is able to speak English. The breakfast is very simple, bread, marmalade, soup, tea and coffee.

Exceptional”

Strategic location. Close to main station. Many convenience store surrounding the hotel. Clean hotel and good staff.

Good enough ”

-very reasonable price in Ikebukuro area -lots of restaurants nearby -helpful staff -room too small for two 29’ luggages

Very good”

near 7-11 , staff is friendly

Good location!!”

Staff was nice. The room was clean and good enough only to sleep. It’s small for 2 person with big luggage. The bathroom is also small but we understand it is typical bathroom for Japanese hotel. However, there is a sound like water flow all the night. That’s a bit disturb us. The location is good. It’s not too far from Ikebukuro Station and near the shopping area.

Awesome”

My second time here. They are super nice and speaks english. They let us stay while waiting for our overnight bus to Tokyo. They even let us use their lounge and wifi. Accesible location to roam around Tokyo.
