I stayed there 4 nights during cherry blossom season, busy period in Tokyo. I picked it solely based on price and location, and I was satisfied on both counts. The hotel is a mere 5 minutes walk from Ikebukuro JR station, so it's very convenient to go anywhere on the Yamanote line. And it's just at the gate of the... More

The location is great with a lot of shopping centers within walking distance but I guess this hotel was located at the lower cost side of ikebukuro as on the way to this inn from train station, there are a lot of posters/advestisement with sexy ladies posted on it. But the streets were very safe to walk pass even after... More

We stayed here for 2 nights on the tail end of a two week trip around Osaka and Tokyo. The room size was fine (we had #328), and with two large backpacks between us, we didn't need to use the under-bed storage space. Beds are comfortable enough, though quite hard (I actually prefer this over soft beds, but it may... More

Stayed at Toyoko Inn Ikebukuro 2 for the 3rd time and it is still as good! I still cant find any problem with it. Good budget hotel i'll say. However, this time round, there dont seems to have any Chinese working staff anymore but the staff speaks minimal english, enough to understand. As I was already a member and had... More

My family of two adults and a child stayed in this hotel for three nights in March 2012.We had booked the hotel on-line and it was chosen mainly for its close proximity to the train station and a halal restaurant, both of which are less than a ten-minute walk away. Days earlier, on our arrival at Haneda airport en route... More

The hotel is about 5-10mins walk from the Ikebukuro station. The location is pretty convenient such that it's only a few stops away from popular spots like Shinjuku and Shibuya (all along the JR line). I think there's quite a lot of stuffs at Ikebukuro but unfortunately I didn't have time to give the area a good look. There's Family... More

Inn No.2 is just a minute walk from Toyoko Inn Ikebukuro Kita-guchi No.1. I have done a reviewed on No.1. Please read my full review there. The difference between these two are the rooms are generally smaller in Inn No.2 as compared to No.1. I happened to stay in a single room that is so small that there is hardly... More

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights on arrival in Tokyo. It is about 10 minutes easy walking from Ikebukuro railway station with lots of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Rooms are small but have everything a business or budget traveller needs - free Wi-fi, in room safe, TV/radio, free (Japanese style only) breakfast. The beds are very firm.... More

This 14 storey block has no Dining Room in the accepted sense and there's no Bar. But then, the only meal served is breakfast which is Japanese and perfectly adequate. It's largely a business hotel with a smattering of tourists and more fill it up at the weekends. We had Room 328 which was smallish - and wallish (that being... More
