Keio Presso Inn Ikebukuro

First, the cons: The duvet had a sheet separating it, which I didn't like and found uncomfortable to sleep with. The room was a bit small; I could open my suitcase but it was a bit tight. The bathroom was also tiny. Overall, it was clean but you could tell the fixtures were old. On the upside, the front desk offers free luggage storage, and check-in/check-out is self-service via machine, which is very convenient and has a Chinese language option. The location is truly excellent, near the center of Ikebukuro. I mainly went to visit Animate, K-Books, and Sunshine City, all of which are very close, about a 10-minute walk. Getting to Akihabara and Tokyo Tower the next day was a bit far, taking 40-50 minutes. Shibuya is about half an hour away, and Haneda Airport is an hour and a half by subway (navigation said 1 hour, but it takes longer in reality). There's a FamilyMart convenience store downstairs where you can print photo cards, and also the Cafe Cinnamon I wanted to visit! It's very convenient for anime fans if you don't mind the duvet/sheet situation.

This hotel is about a 7-8 minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, right in the heart of the Ikebukuro shopping district, making dining, shopping, and getting around incredibly convenient. The room is a bit small, so you can't fully open a large suitcase on the floor. For Ikebukuro, it's a budget hotel with excellent value for money.

The location is fantastic, super convenient, and really close to the subway station. There's a convenience store right downstairs which is a huge plus. Plenty of restaurants and shopping options in the area too. The hotel service was excellent; they handled an urgent situation very professionally. Highly recommend this place!

Very good, very much liked.

Not far from Ikebukuro Station, and it's super close if you take one of the underground exits. It's clean, and you can store your luggage. The breakfast is also really good! I'd recommend it if you're staying in Ikebukuro.
