The vast majority of guests who've stayed here have approved of the hotel's location, mostly because it's a very short walk from Ikebukuro station where trains to other parts of Tokyo are plentiful and frequent. Having a really good selection of restaurants and bars so close by, as well as plenty of lively clubs, was considered a plus too.
Cheerful and extremely pleasant, the friendly people working at this hotel seem to revel in their work. A great many non-Japanese-speaking visitors also liked the fact that, as well as being very enthusiastic, many of the receptionists here are able to communicate very effectively in English.
A considerable number of visitors have remarked upon the size of the guest rooms here. Evidently, the accommodations in this hotel are a step up in size from those offered at most Tokyo budget hotels.
A number of guests have complained that the perennial smell of cigarette smoke pervades throughout the building. Something to keep in mind if you yourself are trying to cut down or quit.
