Breakfast is a joke. Like don’t even bother about it. All they have is some watery soup that has just salt and water. White bread and butter and some coffee. I do not understand why the hotel cannot even provide a single banana of some fruits or juice. It’s complete disappointment after paying so much for the room thinking the breakfast will be decent.

It was a good location and only minutes away from the station. Lots of eatery shops and convenience stores. Hotel was clean but rooms are super small. Barely have any room to keep bags, etc.

The location is near the train station. Good value of money. Clean space. Very humble staff.

The bunk beds are a bit noisy and squeaky. It's very easy to wake up the other person in bed when getting in or out. I got sick and the rooms didn't have great ventilation, so I felt bad knowing I may have spread it. I do not recommend staying here if you are rowdy, snore loudly, or smell. Due to the small shared nature of the rooms, you would be better off staying at a premium capsule hotel.

The price is cheap. Because the shared rooms are small, you are less likely to have an annoying room mate. The Yamanote Line offers direct access to Shibuya, Harajuku, and Shinjuku which would otherwise be over priced to stay at. Ikebukuro a great city in Tokyo with all of the charm of a small less crowded Akihabara without as many annoying tourists. They have a pretty good café that also serves free breakfast, which is simple toast and soup but isn't needed for the low price. Out of all the Hostels I have been to in Japan, this one is probably my favorite.

The room is quite small for 3 person stay, well cant complain much for a city stay and with good location.

The location is good and the price is quite competitive.

It felt a little musty and old. Did trigger my hayfever a bit.

Look, I will be honest. The staff and facilities were BRILLIANT but the room was a little lacklustre. Fine for one night but I wouldn't like to stay long term. If you know Ikebukuro, it will be easy to find but might be hard for those new to Tokyo. I didn't get to take advantage of the onsight Cafe but it looked really good! Friendly place to stay.

Clean and comfy, cheap and cheerful. Nothing excessive and very nice staff. Limited breakfast, but still a bonus considering location and price.

It's a little dirty, it's the first time they've given me my sheets to make my bed. The staff is very serious and if you don't bring your towel they rent you one

the location is really good.

The room was stuffier than expected, likely cause there isn't much ventilation.

The location! It's great if you intend to be in ikebukuro a lot and gives you reason to explore the west side a little. While the west side does have a rep of being a bit sus, I think it's fine as long as you're alert about your surroundings.

The whole property is non smoking, but the shower curtain in the bathroom had a really strong smoke smell - I suspect a previous guest had tried to blow smoke through the exhaust fan, not the fault of the property. Other than that, the room was exceptionally clean.

Convenient place to stay on the west side of Tokyo, only a few stops on the Yamanote line from Shinjuku and Shibuya. Rooms are cozy and clean. Easy to find from the station, there is a 7/11 on the corner and money exchange in the lobby. There is a guest kitchen in the building and cafe/restaurant underneath, but there are so many great food options and bars close by as well, so it really caters for every travel budget. There are two buildings facing each other, the check in reception is the one opposite to the cafe building.

When I think of "included breakfast" I think more than what was served. Usually, even for cheaper hotels, standard breakfast is orange juice, muffins, other pastries, etc. I was surprised at just toast and coffee.

The location was great! Close to the station and there's even a looot to do in the area walking distance! 20/10. The bed, verrry comfy.

The WiFi needs some improvement. I keep getting disconnected and connection is slow when trying to watch youtube even in data saver mode.

The location is very convenient, just walking distance from the Ikebukuro station. Room was also great for 3 people. Pretty straightforward, 1 double bed and 1 single bed. We’re not looking for anything fancy and the room they provided was great for us. The employees are also kind. The food in the café was also delicious. We kept coming back for their fish and chips and their hamburger gratin specialty. We also love their breakfast, they have 2 daily soup and you can choose how many toasts you can eat.

- they don't have a common facility like microwave, if other guest would like to reheat their take away food. - takes about 10 - 20mins walk to the train station. - if you opt to take the limousine bus to the airport, it would take about 5-10mins walk to Metropolitan Hotel for the pickup or just take Uber.

- There's a cafe & restaurant at their annex bldg - room got working heater - they are able to assist me with the Yamato luaggae forwarding

You do have to go to the shared pantry to get your hot water as there's no kettle provided in the room. There's also no fridge in the room as far as I recall, altough I had no need for it.

Location is one of the best. Accessible to most metro lines and JR lines, and the limo bus services to the airport isn't that far away either. I've been staying here for most of my trips in Tokyo. The staff helped me resolve some issues I had with my booking stay (I was double booked) and I was very grateful for that. Thanks again!

Great stay. It is clean and there is everything you need. The breakfast option consisted of soup, toast and jam as well as tea. Eggs and some sort of small cake were available per payment. The rooms are quite small though but that's normal for Japan.
