Room is clean and well-maintained. The staff cleaned the room every day even when we did not request for it. All needed amenities were provided (body soap, shampoo, conditioner, tissue, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairdryer and TV). There are also a lot of electric sockets. A common kitchen is available for use in the first floor and we can get hot water for free. Location is very much accessible from Ikebukuro station, C1 and C2 exits. It is also close to many famous restaurants and tourist spots. Ikebukuro station is also connected to various Tokyo train lines which made our commutes more efficient.

Walls are thin. We can sometimes hear noises from the other room and from outside because we are in the first floor. The washroom is a bit small and the ceiling is low so one of our trip companions had to scooch down or just sit in the tub so he can use the shower.

The room was bigger than expected for one person. Many amenities (towel, hangers, toothbrush set) were provided. There's a common kitchen with all utensils and cutleries convenient for cooking. I had a pleasant stay for 8 days! Would like to highlight that the hostel is near "Fukutoshin line" Ikebukuro station. It's a little distance from "JR line" Ikebukuro station but its connected underground. Just follow the sign towards "Fukutoshin line", exit through C1 and the hostel is a few minutes away. If you have luggage, exit through C6 with an escalator. Hope this helps!

Can be a little noisy when guests and staff roam around or talk loudly.

Good value for money room that was the perfect size imo for a solo traveler as compared to the dorms or capsule style hotels I was living at most of my trip and was overall a very clean and comfortable experience Great location being only less than a minute's walk from the station exit, close to many food options nearby and very walkable (~8m?) to the primary Ikebukuro city area.

Unfortunately, I got the 4th floor room which made it slightly annoying to leave or go back to my room every time despite there being a luggage elevator. Especially with the laundry area being outside between the main and secondary buildings. The water pressure and temperature control for the shower were also kind of questionable but good thing is that you only share the shared toilet area with 2 other rooms

Of all my 5 trips to Japan, I stay here at every trip with no regrets. Location: Super convenient as it is only 3 minutes walk away from exit C1 of Ikebukuro station. Very convenient for a location in Tokyo. Staff: Super friendly and speak English. Helpful and warm as well. Room: Clean, spacious enough to put 2 luggage for 2 pax, and still have leftover space to put more stuff Toilets: Clean and well provisioned. Even have laundry machines for you.

Facilities were minimal, but not an issue for me as I am paying for a guesthouse and not a hotel.

Quiet, spacious room with space for 3 large suitcases. Good bathroom facilities to people ratio! Homey feel with communal kitchen

No fridge in room - would prefer fridge to TV screen. No need for TV. Wish there were signs not to leave toiletries in bathroom area (many guests did this and it cluttered the sinks). Perhaps include a basket for people to store toiletries in so the counters remain clear. An ice machine would be nice in summer :)

The easy walk from the train station and the convenience of access to Shibuya etc. Quieter part of Ikebukuro yet great little restaurants and 7 Eleven nearby and easy to get to the busier areas of Ikebukuro. This was where we stayed for two nights when we first arrived in Tokyo. It was easy to get to from the airport even as novices to the train system and we liked the traditional Japanese style accom as our first introduction into Japan. Has a little fridge, private bathroom and there was a common area in the entry with cold water station and more fridges, I think there may have been a microwave too. For 3 girls with big suitcases it was also a manageable space.

The room is very good. There is a separate toilet and shower room, which is convenient to use.There is a washing machine for use. There is a communal kitchen where you can cook simple meals. There are many hangers in the room. The accommodation also allows you to store your luggage.Exit Ikebukuro Station, look for the west exit, exit C1, there is an elevator coming up near the accommodation.

I would like to set a time for using the washing machine because it is near the room and disturbs my rest.

we love staying in the quiet neighborhood, stay in house ikkebukuro is like a home for us wish we will be back again love the laundry machine and the dry machine :) . i paid 300yen for 1.5 hour drying and its perfect dry i also love the idea to lock up our suitcase outside the room, since the room is quite small :) tatami is always the best for us :) no pillow and mattress issues at all

no near bus airport shuttle to narita , haneda only since we find quite difficult bring big luggages using train/metro instead of bus

Conveniently located near Ikebukuro Station, the property does require a short walk from the JR line, but the underground shopping tunnel makes the walk more pleasant. The room is fairly spacious for two people, with enough room for luggage. Basic amenities are provided, along with shared bathroom and toilet facilities. Housekeeping is available upon request, and the room was clean and tidy after service. A water dispenser is also available in the pantry area, which was a nice touch.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at House Ikebukuro, and it was a delightful experience. The cleanliness of the place was immediately apparent, with spotless rooms and common areas. It had complete facilities and equipments, most especially the washing machine and coin dryer. Despite being in a bustling area, the accommodation itself was wonderfully quiet, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the city. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to ensure that all guests felt at home. They also often greeted us with warm smiles that melted my heart. The proximity to the station entrances made commuting incredibly convenient, and the numerous convenience stores within walking distance added to the overall ease of the stay.

The stairs were kinda hard at first, but it was manageable!
