Daiichi Inn Ikebukuro

Hotel is basic but acceptable. Close to shopping areas and restaurants

Dai Ichi Inn was bery close to the local train station. Easy walk to shopping and dining areas. Good place to stay if you're planning to take metro or shop nearby. Ventilation in bathroom was poor, resulted in bad smelling bathroom. Didn't realise laundry was a paid service, staff did suggest a nearby 24 hr coin laundry (with bad reviews).

This is near the JR station. It is also within 10 minutes walk (with pulling luggage) to the bus stops for limousines to both Narita Airport and Haneda Airport. However, the room that we stayed seemed rather dated, albeit its cleanliness and availability of amenities for our selection.

Great location on the east side of ikebukuro station but not near the craziness of the busy parts. I would stay here again. Staff were very welcoming

We like this hotel location so closed to train & metro station plus very convenient to find food & supermarket. Hotel staffs do not speak good English but they are helpful and friendly!

Ok hotel. The location is super, right next to Ikebukuro station. Room size is also bigger than most others in Tokyo. AC is powerful. The mattress and pillow also offer great support so you can have good sleep. Downside: 1. lack of coin laundary facility on-site altho a nearby coin laundry is only 2 min away. 2. the arrangemnet of the hotel is odd. The recption lobby is on the 2nd floor and there in only 1 escalator with no elevator acceas to it. So it goes down from 5-11am, to facilitate those checking out, and upwards for checking in after 11. If you want to leave your luggage with the concierge and come back after 11am, it can be a bit challenging trying to carry all your suitcases down the spiral staircase. Also the concierge service is a bit below par. There had been a couple of times my online shopping and lost luggage arrived, but i didnt get any notification from the hotel. I had to make the initiative to enquire. Also, when I tried to use luggage delivery service to the airport, the concierge said it has to be at least 2 days in advance. I couldnt do it because the airline lost my luggage and it didnt arrive until within 2 days. I asked the concierge is there same day delivery. All he could do was apologize. I then used google and could find same day luggage delivery service and did it myself. I didn't mind that but I thought concierge should be able to help with things like this. I'm familiar with Tokyo so not an issue, but imagine those not familiar.

This is a nice hotel conveniently located close to the station and shops. The room is clean, comfortable and The staff are very friendly.

Ikebukuro great location

โรงแรมใกล้สถานีรถไฟฟ้า พนักงานบริการดีค่ะ

The employees are well trained and treated us nicely. The maids also seemed hard workers, and they did a great job. We stayed there for about two weeks, so we had to do laundry a few times. If they had a coin laundry facility inside the hotel that would be very helpful. We had to walk to the nearest laundromat and went back and forth to take care of just one load of laundry. It wasn’t fun doing it in the hot and muggy weather conditions.

The only strong point of this hotel is the location. The condition of the room is tired and old. Need to refurbish. There are black stains around the washing basin. Water pressure is not good too, as the hand shower head is less than 2 inches. Breakfast has not much variety. I admire the chef who can cut the cakes and fruits into smallest pieces possible. Only a few pieces on display from time to time.

Great stay. Best value. Strong AC, Strong water pressure, Comfortable bed and comforters. Great location to Subway, and great restaurants. Love this place.

Excellent location next to Ikebukuro station, many restaurants and a minute from McDonalds for breakfast on weekends when other cafes don't open yet. !0 min walk to Anime and another 10min to Sunshine City Plaza. Excellent for basic hotel and clean bathrooms. Our room was right adjacent from the station, so could hear the trains passing until they stopped running, but this didn't bother us at all. My husband is a light sleeper and he didn't have any problems, especially when we're so tired from a full day's activities.

Very convenient with eatery located nearby.

The location is excellent. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the station, and just a few minutes from shopping. We were on the 6th floor overlooking the train tracks, but never heard the trains. We would gladly stay there again.

Very convenient

Good location and walkable to lots of shopping places

The location is very near the subway metro station and JR. Lots of eateries and convenience stores including a Family Mart at the lobby of the hotel. We booked the family room which had 4 single beds. Although hotel was a bit old, the room size is ok since Tokyo’s hotels are mostly small. Hotel staff was very helpful and helped to switch the escalator direction to allow us to bring our luggages down.

Very safe. Close to train station

Rooms are a bit old but clean. Toilets are very small. Service was great.
