Tokyo Toshima Ward Hotels

5mins walk to West exit of JR Ikebukuro. Lots of cafe nearby, like Sarutahiko Coffee. St Marc, Tully’s and Doutor coffee. The front entrance of the hotel is just a min walk away from renown cake shop in Lumine, Harbs. It is so perfect for cake and coffee lovers! Front office staff were so attentive and spoke good English. We also tried buffet dinner at a lobby restaurant with resident discount of 500yen off because it advertised on room TV. Can’t expect much for food quality but the price was so good. Will definitely stay there if I return for a visit.

It's a little far from the subway station, but it is located right by Sunshine City. There is also a convenience store located in the Hotel. Room was spacious (for a solo traveller), bed was comfy and shower pressure was good! Staff is also friendly and speak basic English. Would love to stay again if I could!

Location just right behind East Gate (N) Ikekukuro Station. Also close to bus station to Yanaka Old Town and Asakusa. There are Family Mart, Mc D and Ichiran Ramen. The minus is only its bed which not hard enough

We had a great stay at Tokyu Stay Ikebukuro! The location is excellent—just about a minute’s walk from a nearby train exit at Ikebukuro Station, making it super convenient for getting around. The hotel offers great amenities, including free newspapers, tumblers, coffee, ice, water, and toiletries. The room is more spacious than the typical Tokyo hotel rooms. A standout feature is the in-room washing machine, which adds a lot of convenience. The bed was big and very comfortable, and the TV supports Netflix and other streaming apps. Service was good throughout our stay, and overall, we had a really comfortable experience. We’ll definitely stay here again on our next visit!

The hotel room is quite small, but enough for one person. The breakfast buffet is okay, both Japanese and western to choose from, not bad but nothing outstanding. The free drink bar is quite good, nice to have a drink after a long day out, they have both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks.

It was really amazing stay!! This is the best hotel ever so far except the location that at night its quite full of bar , club but overall was really good. Every staff member was really polite and helpful. The onsen a bit smal as it fit for 5-6ppls at most but it was fine. The room was so nice and clean , also quite big in this area when compare with the price and it was sound proof we had really good night sleep there every night!! Would love to come again!! ❤️ (The bed might look small but it surprisingly big enough for 2 persons)

This hotel is probably one of my favourite in Japan. Love how cozy the place is. So many konbinis close by and cafes too. Ikebukuro main station is also about 7 to 10 mins walk. My 2nd time staying here and will probably stay again.

My mother stayed there when he visited me in Tokyo. She did nor speak Japanese and English. When checking in the attendant at the front desk kept on speaking Japanese to my mom. And she had to call me as she didn’t understand anything. I tried to help with my limited Japanese but I couldn’t very much as she was speaking in honorific forms and I was not good at them. I also had my Japanese friends help me. Everything took like 45 min. And after that I asked the front desk lady if she had a translator app or something. And then she brings out a translator machine box which translate perfect Turkish!!! And she did not even use that once in that 45 min. My mom would not have to call me if she used that translator at the beginning. That was very unprofessional of the staff. Mere laziness!!!

This hotel is great if u like onsen. We like to use the onsen every night after an exhausting day walking. Then enjoy a free ramen or ice cream. There’s free small simple ramen each night on the 2nd floor, free coffee, at the lobby, yakult & ice cream (15th fl) ( during specific time slot’s) We never used our room shower cos it’s tiny. We go to the public bathroom where u wash up sitting on a stool, then enjoy the Onsen & Sauna. Free drinks available at a drink machine in the sauna, also toiletries like shampoo & such. At the ladies washroom u can choose from a selection of shampoo & conditioner. But u can’t use the onsen if u have a tattoo. On the 15th floor, washing machine available for free, u gotta pay to use the dryer, but is quite cheap, we used about 300 yen to dry a full load of clothing. There’s also free manga, & a smoking area. U get pick up extra towels at the reception, also stuffs like toothbrush, razor etc. Hotel is within walking distance to many kombini’s, supermarkets ( I recommend Seiyu) & Sunshine City. Room is quite small though, but we had no trouble with 2 large suitcases. I like it that u can open the window to get fresh air, & it’s not far from the Ikebukuro station where all the shopping, food & actions are! I love going to the food street at Loft & Parco. Tobu is also amazing with lot’s of food & the biggest Daiso in Tokyo. We used the airport limousine bus to travel to & from Narita. Bus stop is at Sunshine City Prince hotel, ( 5 mins walk all flat terrain). I would suggest the hotel make extra space by hanging up certain things, like the hair dryer, television. The walls are very empty, there can be more hooks, planks available for guests to place their stuffs or hand up a bag or jacket. I also have a slight complain about the water kettle in our room. It won’t stop automatically when at boiling point, we asked the reception to change it, she said the cleaning lady will. But we found out the next day the kettle is still the same! We gave up cos sometimes communication in English isn’t totally ok with some staffs & just manually switch the kettle off every time it boils. But all in all just some minor bugs, we did enjoyed our week-long stay here & will certainly consider coming back!

The hotel is located very close to Ikebukuro station. Fastest way to get to the hotel by public transportation is to take the Skyliner from Narita to Nippori station then transfer from Nippori to Ikebukuro station. The room is a bit on the small side but it’s very clean and the customer service at this hotel is top notch! The positive feedback regarding the customer service was one of my reasons for booking our stay here. There are so many cafes, restaurants and convenience stores around the hotel. I would stay here again. 😊
