This hotel is my favorite to stay at in Tokyo. The rooms are comfortable and good sized. The staff is incredibly friendly. It is quiet at night, and has plenty of restaurants and a conbini within just a couple minutes walk. It is also super close to the Ikebukuro metropolitan exit. The convenience can't be beat.

Breakfast was fantastic, minor variations to keep things fresh. They served a large variety of cultural cuisines including Western, Chinese, Japanese and more.

The rooms were cleaned daily, with fresh towels and toiletries. It's a must pick hotel for travelers into Tokyo

First time in Japan and I feel this was a proper stay especially for the price, the high end vibes and the size of the unit considering most rooms are tiny in Tokyo.d Excellent shower, bidet, soft towels, cozy bed and spotless room. Great gym! Area is solid and easy access to the train station. I’d say book it and just get to Japan! It’s incredible and the staff were absolutely perfect!

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’s very convenient for a solo-traveler since it’s one of the airport shuttle either to haneda or narita. There was also a shuttle to the premium outlet! 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! And Ikebukuro is just best for otakus, it’s so easy to get to shinjuku and shibuya!

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.
An overall good experience but I'd likely not rebook.

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.

I would definitely stay at The Metropolitan Hotel Ikebukuro in a heartbeat! The safety, location, amenities, service, food, nearby shopping centers, and attention to detail we received during our weeks stay was simply fantastic! The staff was just so warm and welcoming that it was hard to look for another hotel when we decided to extend our trip for an additional day, we gladly booked our extra day with them, even though there were clearly other hotels much cheaper. My teen daughter and I called this our little home away from home!✨

I’ve stayed here many times. This time I chose one of the cheapest room as I was staying as a twin. The room was beyond my expectations and great value. The room had a modern uplift, felt fresh and is a great hub to explore the rest of Tokyo with insanely quick access to the JR station via the “secret” metropolitan gate. You’ll be on your train and skip all the chaos within 3 mins of leaving the hotel. It’s such a reliable hotel and a great location.

I’ll be back again for the 4th time for sure!

Beautiful, clean, well kept, with a great assortment of dining. Excellent service from all staff. They are very attentive and you wont be waiting in the lobby for help, they'll ask what you need right away. There is a lovely tea lounge area on the second floor that I really enjoyed as well.
There is also a convenient store, excellent breakfast & dinner buffet, laundry room, gym with a pool, and many other amenities.
I felt very safe, especially with the police station directly next door. I think thats a plus.
711 is a 3 minute walk away, train station is maybe 5. Within a 5 minute walk is also many restaurants, shops, an arcade, and a mcdonalds. The wifi was fast in my room, and I really liked having a humidifier as well. They will even restock the water bottles in your rooms fridge & bathroom amenities daily.
I also really loved the pajamas they provide and will be purchasing some to take home with me.
Room service was great too! There are so many good things about this place. Highly reccomend

I really like staying at this hotel. I have pretty simple criteria: great staff, cleanliness, good water pressure. The staff is wonderful and the water pressure is great. The room was clean but the lobby areas seemed a little dusty, very noticeable in the elevator banks. The room furniture and carpeting in the halls, while clean, are very old and a little shabby and create a feeling it could be cleaner… Having said that, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel. Also, it is super convenient to trains and subways. I will stay here again.

I stayed at your property from Feb 19 - 21st in room 1609 and Feb 26 - Mar 1st in room 1822. Both bookings were for a superior queen. Room 1609 was very spacious and we received daily water without having to ask. Room 1822 was very small and we didn't get any bottled water until the last day because we left a note. When I went down to the front desk to check on my room size they assured me that both rooms were the same size. They even showed me their folder with the room type details by room. Clearly the information is incorrect and they need to physically inspect and measure the room. We were very disappointed with the cramped space of room 1822.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo Ikebukuro (ホテルメトロポリタン) and would absolutely return.
The location is fantastic — tucked slightly away from the busiest streets of Ikebukuro, yet incredibly convenient. It feels safe and secure, especially being right next to a police station, and just a short walk to the subway. There are multiple convenience stores right around the corner, including 7‑Eleven, Lawson, and FamilyMart, which made grabbing snacks or essentials effortless. Despite being so centrally located, the hotel itself was peaceful and quiet — something I truly appreciated after long days out exploring.
My room on the 7th floor was recently renovated, clean, and very cozy. I loved the thoughtful touches, such as complimentary bottled water in the fridge and a humidifier in the room — small details that made a big difference in comfort.
What truly made this stay exceptional, however, was the staff. They deserve a 10/10 rating. Every team member I encountered was incredibly thoughtful, courteous, and genuinely warm. They assisted with my luggage, greeted me kindly each time, and always seemed one step ahead in anticipating guests’ needs. Their hospitality elevated the entire experience.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Tokyo and will definitely be returning on my next trip.

Staff is fantastic. They go all out to make your stay comfortable.

Room is small but works. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Love the refrigerator and safe and kettle with green tea. Housekeeping is excellent and provides you with two bottles of water daily.

Great location. The airport bus and IKEBUS stops right in front. Close to Ikebukuro station and restaurant and stores.

Close to 711. I bought a lot of food there. Hotel has a microwave you can use near the lobby.

The laundry service is excellent. Same day return if you submit by 9 am. Laundromat is also excellent. For 500 yen or more, you get your clothes washed and dried (everything in one machine which also dispenses detergent) - typical high tech and convenient Japan. 😂

I stayed here twice in Feb 2026. The first time for 6 nights and the second time for 2 nights. The room was quite small but the bed and pillows were comfortable. There’s a safe and fridge and the hotel provides a lot of amenities in the bathroom - shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes with toothpaste, razors with shaving cream, hair brushes, cotton buds etc. Housekeeping was excellent but they always left me notes informing me that they wouldn’t throw out trash that wasn’t in the garbage bins, or they won’t empty a kettle with water in it etc. It got to be a bit annoying. On my first stay, housekeeping left me 2 bottles of drinking water everyday but on my second stay, only one bottle a day. Tap water is perfectly safe to drink though. I used the hotel laundry service once and they were excellent. If they pick up before 9 am they return your washed laundry by 6 pm. I used their laundromat once too. They are pretty cool. For 500 yen or more (depending on load size), the machine washes and dries for you and detergent is dispensed automatically. All in one machine! Typical high tech Japan. I had buffet breakfast at Cross Dine 4 times. It has a nice spread but they don’t change the menu much so it gets tiring. 711 is only a block down and that’s where I bought most of my food. They have an excellent selection, prices are reasonable and they have new meals often. The hotel provides a microwave near the lobby so it’s convenient to microwave food from 711.

Rooms were clean and spacious. We booked 5 rooms and they were great at putting us all together on the same floor.

The location was GREAT! Less than a 5 minute walk to Ikebukuro station. So when you are tired at the end of the day it was easy to get back to the hotel.

The station has 3 big stores and tons of very good restaurants. A UNIQLO, Muji, Daiso and Don Quijote an easy walk from the hotel. Also, 7-11, Family Mart and Lawsons within a block.

Great restaurants within a 5-to-10-minute walk.

So clean, GREAT SERVICE, restuarants, stores and so close to the train station.
