Excellent hotel in Tokyo.”
Excellent hotel. It's connected with sunshine city. With a Disney store, MacDonald , toysrus at basement 1. It's walking distance to higashi-ikebukuro station. It is also walking distance to ikebukuro station. It's in the middle of both stations. This is a excellent location which reminds my Taiwan Taipei Ximending. You can find electrical applicants, shopping, toys and of course food. There's a family mart directly below the hotel itself. You won't get hungry at all times. For those going to Disney land, this is a excellent location too. Take from higashi-ikebukuro (the Y-line) all the way to shin-kiba station. And change the jr-line to maihama station. Very less walking time and you will reach within 45 mins. I will definitely come back to here if I visit Tokyo again. Thumbs up.

My kind of Autum in Tokyo”
Prince Hotel in Sunshine City, Ikebukuro is never a dull moment. The kids enjoy its facilities. Room service is extra ordinaire; hotel staffs are awesome and very helpful. Airport Limousine Bus is an A+ which made every guests convenient at all times. Sunshine mall has a lot to offer. There is namjatown, jworld and an aquarium. Restaurant serves a wide array of international cuisines which we enjoy. The only thing that limits our vacation is the rain... everything went well.
Great location and a comfy hotel!”
this is my first time staying at sunshine city prince hotel ikebukuro tokyo. i always had the impression that it's an old hotel but to my surprise, it wasn't that bad after all. firstly, the airport bus goes straight to this hotel, so it's very convenient if you are carrying a lot of baggages. the checking in was a little disappointing as we had to wait almost 30~45mins. there was a long queue but it can't be help as it was the year end period. the hotel staff did their best to run the check ins quickly and smoothly. they also assisted and kept us informed of the situation when we were in the queue. next, the location is good, it's connected to the mall and the train is just a short walk away. there's a lot of eating places nearby. the room is considered big compared to the usual hotels in japan. the beds are a little too stiff, but it's not much of a problem. our room was on the 30th floor, had a nice view of the city. overall, i had a pleasant experience staying in this hotel!
All you need is here.”
1. Family mart in floor 1. Besides lift hotel. 2. Halal food also sell in family mart. If you need halal restaurant, just go to saffron restaurant and kebab mart. 3. This hotel has airport transfer bus from/to Narita/haneda. Very convenient &easy. 4. Also have tour to Mt Fuji. 5. Shopping place is also in the same building, sunshine city. And when you going out a bit around 100m,you will find the shopping area+ entertainment, like Uniqlo, Mandrake ikebukuro and others. 6. Train ikebukuro jr also only requires 8minutes walk. 7. We went to asakusa only by bus. No need to interchange bus. Direct from ikebukuro (east) bus 64.... but there will be 33stops. Its ok since don’t need to interchange. 8. At first we stay for 2 night... but we found that this hotel has everything, and plan going to other hotel which much more cheaper... but then we decided to stay here since everything is here. 9.

Highly Recommended ”
This hotel is located between train stations Higashi-Ikebukuro and Ikebukuro. It is 4 stops away from Shinjuku station and 7 stops away from Shibuya station. The hotel is connected to a mall called Sunshine City and there is an airport limousine bus that stops at the foot step of the hotel. There are many shops and restaurants located in the heart of Ikebukuro. The rooms are a decent size. You are able to open up two big luggages without compromising walking space and the rooms are clean and sufficiently equipped. There is a family mart convenience store located in the hotel itself if you ever need to buy anything. Full of praises for this hotel. Definitely will recommend this hotel and definitely will come back to stay in this hotel again.

Exceptional”
If you are travelling with young children, I will recommend this hotel as there is airport limousine service right from you reach the airport to the hotel. So you save the trouble of moving the luggage. Moreover, hotel is situated right next to Sunshine City Shopping Mall so it is not a big issue with dining and shopping. There is an underground leading to Higashi Ikebukuro subway station but walking to Ikebukuro station will be further which takes around 10 - 15 mins walking distance. The hotel facilities is excellent. There's a convenience store just within the hotel to serve the hotel guests and I see vending machines at the floor we are. Staff services is considered above average but can be better in my perspective. Not sure is it because of language and mis-communication. I was travelling with my toddler but the room was kind of small. I was bringing a baby stroller and to move the stroller through the room passage was narrow and there was no door stopper.
Dear Shei, We appreciate you choosing the Sunshinecity Prince Hotel and taking the time to share your experience. I told your comment about a room and our English skill to my coworkers. We have to improve our language abilities. Thank you for sharing you important opinion. And we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We are looking forward to welcoming you back soon.

Very comfortable hotel”
Booked this hotel for a really good deal when it was on sale ($90 CAD/night). Very comfortable to stay in, staffs were friendly, room and bathroom were clean, bottled water and slippers were provided. Room has a mini fridge that you can put food in, as well as coffee maker and tea powder. It's attached to the Sunshine City Mall so lots of dining option and shopping available. Staff was also able to accommodate my request to be in a room further from the elevator so it wasn't noisy. Rooms are smoke-free and my room didn't have any weird smell. Downside is it's a bit of a walk from Ikebukuro Station (about 10 min) so it's not super convenient to get to if you have lots of luggages. They do have direct limousine bus to/from the airport (I think it's 3000yen from NRT) if you don't want to brave the train, which is a good option for people with young children or lot of luggages. I'd stay here again if there are good room deals on my next trip :)

Good place right next to sunshine city ”
I stayed with a friend and we booked a twin bed room. The corridor is a bit narrow, might be too narrow if u bring a large luggage, but I opened only half so it was still fine. The hotel is located right next to Sunshine City with lots of branded clothes to shop. J-world is also located there. Ikebukuro JR main station is within 15 minutes walk. If you are anime lover the place is located very near to animate and other shops like niconico honsha, kbooks, etc. The price is fair for a room in Tokyo, good for group travellers (2-4).

Sunshine City Prince Hotel, Ikebukuro, Tokyo”
Sunshine City Prince Hotel, Ikebukuro met my personal criteria for selecting hotels in Tokyo - direct transfer by airport limousine bus to and fro hotel (so that I don't have to lug around heavy luggage in train stations which usually have many stairs), as well as walkable distance to train station (lots of interesting shops to see along the way). Better still, Ikebukuro is on the Yamanote circle line which is convenient for access to different parts of Tokyo. Semi-double room is typical of Japan hotels, very small but all amenities well stock and quite clean. Bed size could be small for bigger size folks, so advise to go for a standard or twin room for more comfortable sleep. Got upgraded according to front desk, but not sure whether it meant by room size or just high floor coz we got high floor. Beautiful view for high floor. All in all, quite enjoyable stay.
Great location and nice room”
I stay in room 3417 on 34th floor Its quite bigger than i expect( compare to japan standard room size) + great location + convenience to find food and has Familymart itself(lobby floor) +room is new +staffs are helpful, speak english easy to understand +airport limousine station here +you can leave the baggage here (if you stay in this hotel and even you checkout,but needed to book for airport limo too) +Hotel is right next to Sunshine city i mean its a part of mall. There's a lot of coin locker which is more convenience to shop and walk around. - way too hot in the room even it freezing outside... cant adjust the temp air con -window cant open, heater make air in room not flowing - a bit far from Ikebukuro station (900m) need to cross many juctions but not that hard to go as its pass around the shopping and food street. Overall i consider to be back this hotel again. 2 with 1 child(4yrs.)

Excellent location, comfortable stay. Recommended.”
I stayed for 4 nights. You cannot beat the location. Direct access to Sunshine City Mall, full of restaurants, cafes and a supermarket. 10 minute walk to Ikebukuro station. Sunshine City Mall has a brilliant observation deck. The room was fine for Tokyo standards. Clean, great view, comfortable bed and pillows. The staff were very helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.

The Best Go to hotel in Japan”
Tokyo is a city of many places of interest but staying there like staying in your own country is difficult, not when you are staying in Sunshine Prince Ikebukuro. Located near a vast number of hot spots not to mention very near the train station it is one of those places that gives that homie feel.

About hotel ”
Love the hotel. Connected directly to Sunshine city mall. Love the lobby that has family mart for 24 hours. The room is so comfort. When zi left a little spot on the bed sheet. In the night, when we came back to hotel and the room had cleaned, The cleaner changed the new bed sheet. I was so appreciated with the little thing how well they treated us. The major point why we choose this hotel is the airport limosine bus that is ready in front of lobby. We are so pleased staying in the sunshine prince hotel. Thank you

NO Free Internet! NO Free Internet!”
Near Ikebukuro station in Tokyo, you can go everywhere easily. It also has Limobus stop from both airports. The hotel is a part of Sunshine city, a big shopping mall with everything. Though the distance between the hotel and station is not very near, but you will enjoy shopping street along the way. The staff is quick and efficient compared to number of guests. The hotel is clean with all amenities that can be expected from standard hotel. The room size is rather small, but in line with other budget japanese hotel. Only drawbacks are no free Internet!
Sunshine City Prince Hotel”
Sunshine City Prince Hotel in Ikebukuro Station area is a great location. Shopping center, Department stores, such as Seibu and Tobu are wihin walking distant. Shops and restaurant are all around the hotel. For the adults, nightclub are bountyful, as well as bars. For the kids, an aquarium, city view from a sky scraper building, and electronic video games parlors are plentyful for them to play with. In addition, Ikebikuro Station, is just four or five block form the hotel.
Pleasant surprise ”
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 window. Yes room small, but used the space well. Desk at the window with TV, kettle, desk lamp & folding mirror. underneath safe & fridge with chair. I booked a twin room thinking this would give us a little more room. Beds really comfortable with 2 down pillows each. Bedside table between with light controls & bed lamp. Cotton waffle night gown & slippers each. Bathroom consists of bath/shower, toilet with all the bells & whistles. toiletries pump bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap on tap, cotton tips, 2 toothbrush & paste, 2 combs, 2 shower caps, 2 razors/ cream & combination brush/comb. Everything super clean & bedding/ towels white white. Staff so helpful. Family Mart in the foyer that is 24/7 that has every thing you need. Hotel is in a shopping center and close to Ikebukuro station. So happy with our choice of hotel & will definitely stay here again if we are ever back in Tokyo.

Great Hotel with a fantastic view!”
Had a smooth check-in even at 1am... Hotel room is very clean. Was lucky that high floor room is available. Love the city view from my window. Location was superb being in the vicinity of Sunshine City. Shopping and nice restaurants are abundant. The metro station is within walking distance. Airport bus from hotel straight to the International Terminal is very helpful. Had a truly memorable stay at Sunshine City Prince Hotel. Thank you!
Awesome location and great hotel!”
I booked the higher floor rooms which are newly renovated. Rooms are spacious (by Tokyo standard). Love the location of the hotel so much. The Ikebukuro station is 10-15 mins walk away, which is quite a pleasant walk with so many shops around. Nearest subway station is Higashi-Ikebukuro and with covered walkway to the station. What I love most is the bus counter at the hotel lobby. I could easily book an airport limousine (bus) to go to the airport (without having to take the train with our huge luggages). We visited Kawaguchi-ko and there's a bus to pick up and drop off from the hotel itself. (I didn't need to travel to Shinjuku, where most bus services to Kawaguchiko are) The shopping mall has a lot of food options for us to choose. Additional plus is the Family Mart (convenience store) and the laundry. While there are alot of washing machines, however there are not enough dryer machines. Had to wait for available dryer after washing. I could only finish doing my laundry at 2am!
Dear Wei, Thank you for sharing your wonderful review on Agoda. First of all, we are sorry to have kept you waiting for available dryer machines for a long time. We shared your important opinions with my coworkers and we try to improve our service. Thank you for telling me that. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Sunshinecity Prince Hotel. There is a convenience store in the hotel and our hotel is connected with a big shopping mall. You could enjoy shopping all day. We are also happy that you like our bus service. We are already looking forward to your next visit! All the best, Kiyokatsu Suzuki Manager of Reservation Department Sunshinecity Prince Hotel
