The 24 hours front desk staff were very helpful in helping us with weighing and storing our luggage, and calling a taxi for us. We were very happy with the excellent service. I liked how the tea cups came with a lid! There is a separate sink outside the shower and toilet area so it's helpful. For the price and location, the room is quite spacious - larger than expected for Ikebukuro area. The building itself is quite dated, and the shower drain does not drain well - bath water started to accumulate after a couple showers (took 15 minutes after showering for the water to completely drain away, argh). The washroom has no vent so it gets a bit smelly after a while. The hotel has old walls that does not block noises well, and you can hear the street and people talking in the hallway. The mattress is comfortable, though pillows were too soft - a common issue with Japanese hotels. There are no outlets by the head of the bed so we had to charge our phones at the counter. It is very conveniently located, less than 5 minutes walk from the North-East exit of Ikebukuro station. Lots of shopping options nearby, and a convenience store right outside. They only have one escalator that leads to the lobby - you'll need to use the stairs to go outside after 11am, though they are able to reverse the escalator direction if you need to bring heavy luggage downstairs. This would be inconvenient for people with mobility issues. We might stay here again but it won't be our first choice.

My friend and I came in satisfied with our stay. The double bed room is not very big in a western standard. It has no closet to store your luggage. We came with 2 big luggages and we had no problem with space. The bathroom is a standard small bathroom that came with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I honestly had no complaint about the size of the room only because I was using it to sleep. The plus side is that it's near the train station, Sunshine city, and major shopping area. The down side is I don't see the laundry room. Overall, I had an okay time and stayed in a safe hotel.

โรงแรมอยู่ใกล้สถานี ikebukuro station ห่างประมาณ 100 เมตร แต่ห้องเล็กตามสไตล์ญี่ปุ่น และบันไดเลื่อนมีแค่ 1 ตัว เปิดขึ้นช่วงบ่าย เปิดลงช่วงเช้า ถ้ากระเป๋าใบใหญ่มาไม่ตามเวลา check in check out ต้องถือขึ้นบันได แหล่งชอปปิ้งเยอะมาก ข้อดีคือใกล้ร้าน Ichirun Ramen เปิด 24 ชม

The location is convenient and have tons of subway lines to transfer if needed. But if you’re a light sleeper then should request a room away facing the train station otherwise it’ll be super loud.

We had 4 beds in a triple room, we would not want to have the head of the two beds directly facing the air conditioner for all night. We changed the other way, but the hotel maids always switched to the original setting.

Easy access to Ikebukuro station
The hotel is located conveniently close to Ikebukuro station, as well as many local attractions. Checking in and out was easy and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious, beds were firm and linens were spotlessly clean. The only downsides were the worn carpet under the bed, some dust-bunnies behind the desk, and a large curtain that hid the small window which looked out over a massive DVD store neon blinking light. That being said, we only used the room for sleeping, not entertaining guests. The window opens but there’s construction and maintenance on the JR lines in the wee hours, so it can get noisy. Would we stay here again? Absolutely! There are good ramen spots nearby, and good shopping as well.

Nice comfortable stopover before heading back home. Nice decent little hotel. in the middle of Ikebukuro. Love seeing the trains out of my window. And once the windows are closed no sound can be heard! Pity i had to leave early in the morning to catch my train to Narita Airport. Next time gonna stay a bit longer! Dai-Ichi Inn is a gem!
