Ikebukuro hotel rooms a the Ishin

"The hotel was clean but aged, spacious for hotels in Tokyo. Great location as it’s close to metro but not too close to crowded areas. Japanese staffs were polite, friendly and professional as usual. However there are rooms for the rest to improve on. "

"Super clean !"

"Very convenient, restaurants within the hotel, really close to shinjuku. One downside - really really tiny room and a small bathroom. "

"It was right inside the airport and there were a lot of food stalls around the area. Great for anyone who has to catch an early flight! "

"Kinda far from the station "

"Very clean and modern hotel. Room feels spacious, but is not much counter space because the furniture is designed to be minimalist. The breakfast spread is very good. They have coffee and matcha machines. Staff is very cosmopolitan and most of them speak English quite well. The hotel guests are also quite international. There is a 24 hour Family Mart attached to the hotel, so you do not need to brave the elements if you need anything at any time. The only drawback is that the location is quite poor. There are not many good eating places and although on Google maps it is a ten minute train ride from Tokyo station, be aware that the JE Keio line (on which Shiomi station lies) is a long 11-minute from Tokyo station proper. Factor that in when calculating travelling times."
