It is located literally next door of Mejiro station. Mejiro station is on the JR Yamanote Line very small with one exit in a quiet neighborhood but just 10 minutes to Shinjuku and next to Ikebukuro. The location gives a pleasure of arriving "home' in the hustle city of Tokyo. There is Starbucks in the lobby area that opens from early morning till 10 pm. The room is perfect with comfortable bed, desk and good bathroom. It's clean and nicely designed. Plus, the windows face to the Gakkushuin campus wth big beautiful trees! The amenities provided at lobby are all you need. Basically, you do not have to pack toiletry, skin care and pajamas. There are convenient stores, supermarket and other coffee shops nearby (mostly across the street). The washer and dryer machines, operated by coins or IC card, are provided on the 8 Floor.

It was in a very convenient location. It was clean and the staff was very helpful. I liked the fact that there was a Starbucks downstairs. The bed was also very comfortable.

I wound prefer that the English language TV station not have the japanese voiceover, and instead have japanese subtitles so that it would be possible to hear the English.

Mejiro Station is a fantastic secret place to stay in Tokyo. Right on the Yamanote Line in-between Shinjuku and Ikebukuro in a quiet residential enclave. The JR Hotel here has larger than average Tokyo rooms with a refined and comfortable fit out. Free coffee machine in the lobby, paid washing machines, microwave, ice machines and various bath salts and lotions all help make this a most convenient place to stay for 5 nights. Supermarket and restaurants are very close by. More choices and shopping one stop away at Ikebukuro Station, which is bigger and better than Shinjuku. Also Takadanobaba Station in the Shinjuku direction is a lively university area worth checking out for a casual meal. Because this JR Mets Mejiro and another JR property in Yamagata were both so good for us, JR Hotels will be the first we look for on our next Japan trip.

The washer dryer is very weak as a dryer. The microwave needs some bench space beside it to stir hot food on and also paper towels in case of spills. The WiFi had to be reconnected once a day, which shouldn't be necessary.

Located right next to Mejiro Station on Tokyo's fabulous Yamanote line, so it's really easy to get to, with loads of fabulous eateries and kombini in short walking distance, but in a slightly more peaceful area than nearby Harajuku etc. The hotel interior is very soothing: I found my bed really comfortable (might have been a bit short for a super tall person, but great for me at 1.78m) and I liked everything about my room (great wifi, excellent water pressure, etc). The Starbucks downstairs is convenient, and the staff did a great job at communicating with me despite my appalling lack of Japanese.

Nothing - all great.

Quiet and relax place with only 3 JR stations away from the developed Shinjuku area. The hotel is only 2-3 minutes away from JR Mejiro Station. There’s Starbucks downstairs and convenient stores nearby. The hotel staffs are very helpful and friendly, they tried to understand our need and helped to arrange luggage delivery to our next hotel. There’s also washing machine and dryers facilities provided which you could view the remaining washing/drying duration from the TV in your room. We really enjoy our stay.

The only bad things is the room is slight small and congested, there’s no spaces for us to open our big luggages.

Great hotel if you want to have quick access to Ikebukuro, Shinjuku and Shibuya. The hotel is connected to Mejiro station which means you can take the Yamanote line to most major hotspots of Tokyo. Even though it's so close to busy areas, the hotel's surroundings are quite peaceful and the room was quiet at night. The room was large enough and had a nice view towards a small wooded area. For breakfast, you get a coupon that can be used at a nearby Doutor cafe or the Starbucks located in the hotel building. At Starbucks the coupon was enough for a tall-sized coffee, a sandwich and a cookie.

The hotel's Starbucks does get quite crowded in the mornings so you might want to have your breakfast as take-away. There was a slightly unpleasant smell in the hallways but thankfully not in the room.

Location right next to Mejiro JR Station, which was perfect for exploring Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Kichijoji, etc. It's located in a quiet area and great to retreat to after a hot, bustling day. The room was small (not surprising), but had everything you need. We were here in the summer so it was very hot outside, but the room's aircon was very strong, powerful and cooling, so it was perfect. They also provided all toiletries and amenities you could ever need, like make up remover, facial wash, shaving cream, razors, bath salts, moisturizers, etc., in addition to the basics like shampoo, body wash and conditioner.

Nothing.

Love the location - the hotel is right next to Mejiro station which is on the Yamanote line, one station from Ikebukuro and just a few from Shibuya/Shinjuku. Hotel is situated in a very nice and peaceful neighbourhood, in an extremely convenient location yet away from the hustle and bustle. Gakushuin University is next door Many convenient stores, supermarkets, bakeries and small local eateries nearby with Starbucks next to lobby Hotel provides nice complimentary skin care and bathing products, as well as different types of green tea. Laundry on L7 was also very useful for our stay Rooms are very clean and comfortable Hotel staff (in particular Hashimoto) were extremely responsive and helpful in their correspondence before our stay. Excellent service

Nothing really. We stayed in a Family Triple Room - the room was comfortable for us, though a little small but that’s pretty normal for Japanese hotels

Location is so convenient, being right next to the train station. The neighbourhood is also nice and quiet while being only a couple of stops away from Shinjuku/Shibuya. The room is very comfortable and well maintained with lots of natural light coming through, and it’s decent sized especially for Tokyo. Would come back!

The room was a bit dusty, not sure if it was coming from the vents or somewhere else but there was constantly a layer of dust on anything I put down.

Convenient location, just 2 mins walk away from Mejiro station and several convenience shops. Comfortable, clean, and modern room. Helpful staff. Useful amenities like laundry, microwave, vending machine provided. Coffee available at lobby.

Slightly noisy in the room occasionally, from the road traffic, nearby trains, other rooms, and room-cleaning sounds.
