the b ikebukuro Tokyo

Spent 3 nights 4 days here. The hotel was nice and clean. They served a nice breakfast buffet with what looked to be a nice restaurant for lunch or dinner although I only saw there at breakfast as I was busy during the days. Location was excellent being right next to the Subway/JR lines at Ikebukuro Station. The area itself had a little bit of shopping and a few restaurants and pubs for those looking for a quieter evening closer to the hotel. From there I could access any where I need to go in Tokyo quite easily including Disney Land, Saitama Arena and several of the busier night life and shopping areas of the city.

The hotel staff was friendly although there was a bit of a language barrier however they tried hard to help with any questions. The rooms were nice and comfortable, although a bit small and having 3 people in the room didnt help. The location is very close to Ikebukuro station and the Yamanote JR line which made getting around very very easy.

The b ikebukuro hotel is clean and comfortable, just a short walk from Ikebukuro Station. The 'superior single' room was a little smaller than I expected, but since I was only there to sleep this was not a problem for me. (If you have a large suitcase, or many bags, you may have trouble making room for them.) The free wired internet was very handy, but no wi-fi is available. Breakfast is both Japanese and Western style so everyone should be able to find something they like. There are a lot of restaurants in the immediate area and the Sunshine City/Sunshine 60 complex is just a short walk away. You could easily spend a whole night just walking around and taking in the sights and sounds of the area. The huge department store Seibu is next to the train station and the station itself contains many shops and restaurants. The morning staff spoke decent English, but the night staff was more difficult to communicate with. (I found that writing things down helped quite a lot, just be patient!) All the staff that I dealt with were very polite and helpful. Overall I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and would recommend it to anyone visiting Tokyo.

Hotel location is great, near JR and subway station. They made a mistake assigning the room at check-in but corrected immediately after we called. Modern shower head and nozzles provide good water pressure to massage after a tire day of walking. Free coffee at the lobby was good. Breakfast was decent. We were in our room on the 9th floor when the big earthquake occurred. The hotel staff responded to the emergency adequately. There was drywall dust came down during the quake on many floors. It was amazing how fast the hotel staff cleaned up the earthquake mess, vacuumed and mopped up every floor. We will stay there again next time we visit Tokyo.

my spouse and I love this hotel. the only thing we dont like is that they only provide one card key. which is not convinent for us. the buffet breakfast is good, but a little bored after staying for 5 nights having the same stuff. It would be nice if they have odd days with diff menu than the even days rather everyday with the same menu. great hotel, would go back again.

As a family of 4 adults we found the hotel excellent. The rooms were thoughtfully designed to include everything you might need in a very neat way. The bathroom was compact but well designed with a modern jet shower. The beds were very comfortable and the staff were extremely helpful with storing our luggage on 4 occasions, The buffet breakfast was mainly Japanese style with a good selection of herbal teas. The decor was very funky and there was a useful laundry room with washer and dryer, the iron and board is available at reception on request. Handy for access to all areas of Tokyo and close to major station of Ikebukuro with Metro and JR lines.

good location, rooms are nice and clean though as usual abit small. love the shower. breakfast not fantastic but not much complain.

The air conditioner isn't powerful enough so it was quite warm in our room during summer in Japan. Overall the hotel was upto our expectations and will recommend to others.

Near the subway station, Free internet in the room! Even my friends in tokyo are amazed by the convienece and free internet. Will come back here to stay. Can always book a limosine bus at the other hotels near this hotel, reception staff will help you dail the number to book the limosine bus. Cab to the other hotel will only cost 710yen.

next to the JR station. great shower!
