Great location. Great staff. Attached to the Sunshine City Mall you have easy access to shopping and dining. Ikebukuro has lots of arcades and anime shopping so it’s a perfect home base. The airport bus drops off and picks up nearby as well.
Conveniently located affordable hotel connected directly to a shopping mall. About a 7-10 minute walk to the Ikebukuro subway station. Lively shopping area right around the station. Room was well sized and comfortable. Would recommend!
This was the Prime Location!!! A complete mall below the hotel with underground connection to Ikebukuro station. Only a ten minute walk to the train station that has access to all the major parts of Tokyo. We could not have been happier. The room was nice and our view from the 33rd floor was gorgeous. Good shower and tub. Provided our pajamas and fresh linens daily. Even a family mart right next to the elevator. We ate the best ramen of our entire trip only 200m away from the hotel.
The hotel was very well maintained. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The amenities are great especially the convenient store that’s right in the hotel came in handy! There were three of us we booked a room with three beds and we still had a fair amount of space to maneuver around the room. The location is a short walk to the train station and to so many activities and restaurants nearby. Will definitely stay here again!
Frontdesk staff was Super nice. Although some people at the desk were unaware the hotel had drop off laundry options. The rooms cluld use some sort of AC unit in the room besides the small floor unit. For the amount of money spent i felt like being hot and sweaty in our room at night with no way to open a window was harsh.
Great location, part of sunshine city mall and near the Ikebukuro station and Ikebukuro station.
Nothingreally starts opening up until about 9 or 10 am
Added plus, the cute ikibus stops outside the lobby

Room was spotless and all amenities were always filled. Staff was extremely courteous and I had no communication issues despite not speaking Japanese. The FamilyMart on the first floor was very convenient.

One of our favourite stays, this hotel is so well located above Sunshine City. Great rooms and I was lucky and had a high floor with a view of Fuji.
The staff team went above and beyond to provide support and assistance with resolving a double-charge incident that was originally the credit card issuing company's problem
