Poor breakfast, only bread and coffee

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location is centrally located and near everything.

Toast and soup is not breakfast. Woke every morning by cleaning staff seemingly pounding on the rooms. I liked the manager Akio, he was very helpful.

The staff were polite, friendly, and easy to communicate with. The daily room clean was inconsistent and didn't always include a linen change, but fresh towels were always provided. We never heard noise from other rooms, only when people would talk in the hallway. We had to adjust the temperature in our mini fridge because our food froze inside. My husband and I stayed here (in the annex building) for two weeks in January and by the end of our trip the quality of the mattress was causing restless nights and sore backs. The temperature in the room was difficult to get right, and we usually slept with the window open a few inches. So I would stay here again, but only for shorter periods. The location is great! Super easy walk to Ikebukuro JR station, restaurants, karaoke rooms, arcades, shops, and a sento where we went almost every night. We were often awoken by early morning truck deliveries and garbage pickup along the street, but I don't know how avoidable that is. The cafe downstairs was nice to have on nights when we wanted an easy dinner, but a protein option in the $5 breakfast would be appreciated (it only includes toast, tea, coffee, and water). The cafe was also nice when we just needed to sit down at a table for 5 minutes, since our room didn't have space for that. The cafe gets quite busy and loud on weekend nights, but the seating areas are split by the entryway with a quieter space on the far side. Overall it's a good budget option.

Overally a great hotel in a superb location. Only an 8 minute walk from Ikebukuro station. The dining area was great. The restaurant was always buzzing and the food and drink options were good. The weekly share a meal with someone from another country/culture is a great idea.

Room was spotless

There are no amenities in the hostel , the bunk rooms have to be renovated, there were two old guys snoring all the time which made my sleep really so difficult. The money exchange in lobby down there is offering 139 yen for one dollar which is really a very high exhange rate which should not be the case , you have to be honest with travellers and not trying to empty their pockets

Staff

I loved how clean the room was and the daily check in with the maid, in case we needed anything she would come between 10am-2pm and please do expect the room to be clean when you return from your adventures in Japan! Also the cafe on the 1st floor of the annex building has very good food which I liked when I get back at the hotel before 9pm then I have an hour to go to the cafe before setting in my room for the night 😊

Good, safe, convenient, affordable, nice staff. Would stay again.
