The location is convenient as it's only 5 mins walk to the JR station. There are many restaurants in this area, which you will never find yourself hungry. This hotel is clean and the staffs are quite friendly. We will definitely return next time we fly to Tokyo.

We stayed here from June 24- Jul 7. The staff was great. They were all very friendly and helpful. I utilized the bell captain desk to make the limousine bus reservation and the concierge to make reservations for restaurants around Tokyo and they were both excellent. The only encounter I felt a little off putting was from the male receptionist who checked me in. He was not rude, maybe he was tired?

Our room was as expected. Housekeeping did a great job. No complaints there. We got fresh towels and our amenities were stocked daily. The water pressure in the shower was very good.

The coin laundry service was also great. The laundry room was well kept and very clean. It was very convenient to have that service connected to our TV in our room so we can watch in real time which machines were available and how much time was left on them. So convenient.

We also utilized the restaurant on the main floor for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although the service was great, we only ate breakfast twice there (thank goodness we didn't pay for the entirety of our stay) since it was the same foods daily. It was a buffet set up but two days in a row of the same choices was enough for us. We instead ate at several coffee shops near the hotel. We chose a la carte for dinner and was not disappointed. They had a wonderful steak set.

The hotel is conveniently located across from the Ikebukuro station which houses Lumine and Tobu department stores. It is a safe location

Excellent 1 week stay at Metropolitan! The hotel is perfectly located, in front of the station and with shops, restaurants and the underground food markets. Breakfast is just amazing and delicious, a great way to start your sooo busy days! We even used the laundry room to wash underwear! The room was clean and spacious enough to relax after a day of adventures — with bread or cakes from their bakery ;)
My #1 hotel in Tokyo!

Overall hotel was great stayed 12 days. Only complaints was that the laundry didn't dry very well had to add extra time even after putting the amount it recommended. Also the buffet was ok for the amount of money it was, alot of the food was cold. Now I know if another country it local. But it was the last day and we were totally spent from our day trip. Again overall great hotel great location great staff.

The location is top notch. Literally 50 steps out of the hotel door and you can enter Lumine passage to the train station. So if it’s raining, that’s a big plus. You’ve got Family Mart, Lawson and Two 7-11’s within a 1-2 minute walk from the hotel. The laundry room is nice- but be prepared- the washer is the same machine that drys the clothes as well. They don’t dry completely. The breakfast is good at cross dine but it’s the same every morning. The staff is fabulous. The rooms are very small- be prepared, they are not as spacious as you may be used too.

The rooms were adequate, small, but enough space to move around a little. The hotel is close to many activities and close to the train station for easy access to other areas ok Tokyo.

I recently stayed at Hotel Metropolitan Ikebukuro and found it to be a very convenient base for exploring Tokyo. While it’s a little removed from the more tourist-heavy areas of Shinjuku and Shibuya, it’s still incredibly well-connected, with easy access to trains, restaurants, shopping, and just about everything you might need during your stay.

The hotel itself is quiet, clean, and comfortable. However, some of the amenities were a bit underwhelming. Our room only had one electrical outlet near the bedside, so I would recommend bringing a multi-plug adapter if you have several devices to charge. The hotel provides two complimentary bottles of water per night, but any additional bottles come at an extra cost.

The breakfast buffet is convenient, but the selection and quality were fairly average. The bathrooms could also use a more modern update. During our stay, water from the shower leaked onto the bathroom floor and completely soaked the bath mat.

One positive feature is the on-site laundry facilities, which are especially helpful for longer stays.

Overall, Hotel Metropolitan Ikebukuro offers a clean, quiet, and convenient location with excellent access to transportation and local attractions. While it is a solid hotel, it doesn’t quite deliver the luxury experience that its branding and pricing might suggest. I’d recommend it for travelers who value location and convenience over high-end amenities.

Very convenient location near the Ikebukuro station. The JY line entrance was just a quick walk down the street and up the stairs. There was a Family Mart, Lawson, and 7-11 nearby as well. There was a coffee shop next to Family Mart that opened early that was very pleasant to relax and enjoy coffee and a breakfast pastry before heading out to the rail station. The Hotel room was very spacious for a Tokyo property. Very clean and staff were very friendly. The view from my room allowed me to see the trains and the station. The property has several eating areas, we tried the breakfast buffet which had a lot of selections and was very tasty. We also tried the bar which had a good drink selection and also food options to snack on with your drink. A life saver on property was the washer/dryer! It was humid during our stay and having the option to wash your clothes was very convenient! It allowed me to also bring half the clothes that I would need for the length that we stayed. The tv in room also tracks the timing of the washing machines so you know when they are busy as well as when your clothes are done. Check in was very easy, check out was also very easy. Since there were no additional charges, I just dropped the keycard in the return box and that was all that was needed. One of the key factors for choosing this hotel was also the direct shuttle bus to and from Haneda Airport. I should note that the fire & police station was close so sirens were heard often.

Good location and good value for the money considering how expensive hotels are in Tokyo. Gym situation was very disappointing. It was not mentioned prior to booking that the gym had a $13 a day charge. This is very expensive considering how inexpensive food is in Tokyo. Gym is also small and not a full gym. Also worth noting while it didn’t affect me because I don’t have tattoos, if you do have tattoos you can’t enter the gym. Restaurants also close at certain times during the day or have no availability. Staff service was good and being this is close to the metro and good location makes it worth the money again considering how expensive hotels are in Tokyo.

It has everything that you ever needed including pajamas and epsom salt for taking bath or even skincare. They also have laundry room which was very useful for my stay!

It was a good stay. Not great but not terrible. The staff were friendly. The room was average... the bathroom had a smell to it, like sewage kind of. Not terrible enough to do anything about it. But it just felt dated and needing work. This was our last stay on our 9 day vacation. We stayed at 3 other hotels around the country and this was our least favourite.
The location was amazing though. Walkable. Right across the street from the train station.
The breakfast was great.

This hotel is very convenient, with easy access to transportation and several large shopping malls nearby. The pricing is much more reasonable than staying in areas like Ginza. While you may need to travel 20–30 minutes to reach some of Tokyo’s main attractions, it's a fair trade-off for the value. Although the property isn't brand new, it is well-maintained for the price. For breakfast, I found the nearby 7-Eleven, Family Mart, and Lawson to be perfectly sufficient and convenient.
