It's a love hotel, so the bed is robust and comfortable. There is ample ventilation, a large bath, a hot shower, and an overhead music system. The location is quite close to the station. The staff are on the ball - despite needing to give your key up whenever you leave, I often had the paper slip waiting for me in the time it took to take the elevator.

It's a love hotel, so the room is very small. For a solo traveller, it was fine. The corridors are also quite narrow. There is no rail for hand or body towels, so I hung them on the bathroom door handle. On Friday night I could faintly hear happy noises from the neighbouring rooms. If you are of weak disposition, this may bother you.

Very close to Ikebukuro station, clean and comfortable. The people working here are extremely kind which was nice.

The area is a bit sketchy, I’d not recommend it for a woman traveling alone.

The room, very modern with the music and the lights

Small but enough for me

Central location - quite rooms

I liked the room, with all the facilities, the music, the lights! And the location!!

We're traveling with huge suitcases and they didn't even fit in the biggest room to open them up together. Other than that the staff was nice, everyday asked if we wanted towels sheets and room cleaning, and they were mostly accepting of that we didn't want cleaning. Our basic Japanese was enough, but never heard any English. The hotel wifi worked well. The huge shower and bathtub were nice, but a bit impractical when the room was so small, and the toilet I couldn't close the door ever nor even my wife because the toilet was so close to the door. So that part was not sexy. I don't remember ever hearing neighbors other than sometimes closing doors. A week here in such a cramped space was too long, but a couple of nights why not? Just don't have giant suitcases.

No facilities

Hotel breakfast

Didn't eat breakfast

Overall there's nothing to reproach in terms of cleanliness of facilities for the price. - Good location. - Staff are very helpful and friendly. - It DOES indeed have its own bathroom.

Maybe I should have guessed from the photos, but it was pretty obvious when I arrived that this was more like a "love hotel" and that many guests book in for a few hours during the day. There was some noises at one point during the stay which maybe I would have preferred not to hear. The toilet was incredibly small and quite difficult to get into. I blame myself somewhat though – I filtered out "share bathroom" when searching for a room. I didn't realise that shared bathrooms are quite common for hotels in Japan and there are many perfectly nice places with very nice shared bathrooms. When I was in Ikebukuro, I spotted one that was a similar price to this one, but much more the sort of vibe I was looking for. So the hotel is fine for what it is (so I can't rate it too low), but it's not quite what I wanted. Sorry!

The location was good and staff were very friendly.

As is a love hotel the room has no ventilation and became very damp and uncomfortable after the second day. Would recommend for overnight stays but probably no longer.
