While the room wasn't the biggest and wasn't spotless (seems to be the Japanese standard for clean), it was absolutely amazing for the price. The price for me was in the ballpark of hostels/capsule hotel prices but you get your own private room and bathroom! Was ideal for a solo traveler and I would definitely book it again. Additionally, the hotel location exceeded my standards by a lot. I had expected to eat most of my meals in Ikebukuro, but by the end of the day, I was often tired and wanted a meal near the hotel. There were so many options! I could spend another week here and still not run out of places to try. The area was also quiet and had a konbini next door. Amazing!

The bathroom/shower were indeed quite small but no problem.

Overall, I have nothing to say more for its upsides but perfect. 35＄in Tokyo, supreme cost-effectiveness!!! All evaluations must be based on price-service, so it does not have any drawbacks! If you are unsatisfied with it, well I think you should cost more, enjoy a villa or a detached-house. This is Tokyo, the top three cities in the world. 1. The staff is very hospitable and polite. They will solve every problem you have. Even though their English is not very good, basic communication would be OK. And of note, the closing time of reception is 18.00!!! If you arrive there later, you must contact in advance so that they will leave staff for you. Or otherwise, you will not receive any services and will be homeless!! This is not joke. Many foreigners even ask for police because they cannot speak Japanese so they are helpless!! 2. No breakfast, please remember! 3. You must be admirable for service quality especially cleanness. No dirt, bright windows, clean washroom, very perfect!！ 4. As for comfort, it is very cozy!!! Remember the hair dryer is in drawers not in bathroom! 5. 3 metros are within 10-minutes walk from here. The nearst is only 4-minutes walk. Very convenient to take you anywhere you wanna go. Believe me because one of stations is Ekoda, a station belongs to JR Line, which reaches every important place in Tokyo and you can also transfer other lines via JR Line. 6. Countless convenient shops really c-o-u-n-t-l-e-s-s!! Foods in there are unbelievable tasty. Numerous restaurants including noodles, barbecue, fried meat, rice-featured dishes, and even bars! Cafes are everywhere and every of them very nice. Flower shops, dental clinics and domestic shops are prevalent and you can buy everything you wanna purchase. A shopping mall you can buy some fruits and vegetables, just near the Ekoda. General-merchandise stores are here, buying towels and something like that. 7. WIFI without any good remarks！

1. The only point worth of improving is its duvet……Some hairs on it...A little bit, and a more of little bit...disgusting...

The room was so clean. The staff was so helpful for everything. The location is great for those who seek for staying in calm side of the city. The local bus stops and metro lines are close to hotel so it is easy for transportation. Also, there are laundry room, a common room which has tables and vending machines for hot and cold beverages. There are 7/24 open markets around so if you need something. For the trash, there is also a separation room for garbage. Over all, it was a great place during my stay in Tokyo, if I visit again, I'd prefer Flexstay Inn Ekoda.

The location was quiet and calm, with mostly students living in the area. Besides a very convenient microwave, there's even an induction cooker and vacuum cleaner in the room (though I did not use them). It had everything I needed for my stay and the laundry room was easy to use as well. I like that you could adjust the room lighting and also have heating if needed. The room size was just nice for a solo traveller. Really good value for money and I had a comfortable stay.

The furniture is quite old but still functioning.

Good value for money, private bathroom, bedsheets, how friendly the morning/afternoon staff were. The lobby area was a nice little place to watch the world go by as you as snacks. It was safe and clean. Very close to Lawsons and Family Mart

The sink leaked when turning on hot water. The bathroom was very outdated. A tad far from anything in the main Tokyo area (at least 30min by train) The night shift worker wasn't very kind.

I love how it was pretty much all look after yourself so i didn't have to pay for anything extra unless i didnt want to do it myself, everything i may have needed was there ready in the room and the staff was very lovely when i was struggling to ask them for help. I do t really have a bad thing to say about them

It was a little far from the main city but it was close to the train station so nothing a train ride couldnt fix. Unless ur too drunk and miss the last train 🤣

Location is in a quiet residential area. The bed is super fluffy and cozy. Conveniently located near several konbinis. Laundry and common room were clean.

At 2000 yen per hour, the late check-out fee was extremely expensive. The room light remote was finnicky sometimes. The bathroom looks outdated. It's a bit of a walk and distance from downtown Tokyo. The staff member who checked me in at night seemed grumpy.

Larger room than I anticipated for a budget hotel. Large enough to store 2-3 large suitcases. Large wardrobe. In-room are a microwave, an electric stove, a fridge, a cooking pot, an electric kettle, dish soap, a sponge, and a multi-jack phone charger cable. Convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants are abundant nearby. Subway lines and buses are very closed. Super safe area I would say. If you like sushi and sashimi, you can try many places nearby. A low budget option is a supermarket across from Skoda Station offers quality fish with deep discount after 6-7pm.

This budget-kind, clean and comfortable, modern apartment-style hotel is recommended also for long stays in the variety of purposes, the hotel facilities are for instance, the front desk counter, vending machines, coin laundry (Japan has comparably many coin laundries everywhere even out of the accommodations) and so on, the room is equipped with your necessities, if you would like several amenities (toothbrush, razor…) these are freely given at the reception. You may have pieces of paper with the detailed guidance and neighborhood map (Japan seldom has street names except main roads hence your signposts can be somethings that are distinctive or having definite names, then the address panels on the electricity poles) in Japanese or English on check-in. The location is the best, less than 5 minutes- walk from the Ekoda train station (Seibu line /blue line, from the South exit, the property is on Senkawa Str) the forth station from the Ikebukuro train station where is famous along with the central areas of Tokyo, with many shopping malls, attractions, the accesses to the other transportations concentrate on the Ikebukuro station (especially known with JR Yamaonote line / green line, the most recognized railway in Tokyo, you can reach both the Shinagawa and Tokyo stations by Yamanote to have bullet trains <the Tokyo station can be also on Marunouchi metro line / red line, much closer> as well as for the Narita airport express <Keisei line /blue line> from/to Nippori or Ueno, the Yamanote stations.) Anyhow, hotel is surrounded by convenience stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, 100- yen (JPY) shops, etc, of course, restaurants, eateries, bars and caffes. Ekoda is quiet residential area, but the downtown vivacity around the station is attractive. I am a Japanese, have returned to the country, the quality of Japanese foods and drinks that have been felt to be improved, in addition to the hygiene status.

Great value for money. My partner and I arrived very late so the reception was not attended, however night staff was able to assist us with the check in process with ease. Location is easy to access trains to head for the main lines. Great place to stay for our 3 nigths but I believe we probably wouldnt stretch longer that that for us as we started to feel a tad cramped in the room. Great to have the kitchenette and microwave for our late night convenience store runs.

The overal asthetcs of the hotel and room where as shown on the photos and was nothing more nothing less. Considering the cost this was within expectations for us and did not take away from the overal experience. The bathroom was incredibly small, as well as the towels. It would have been nice to have the towels swapped or replaced after day 2 as there wasnt aanywhere to hand them to dry in the room.
