Excellent rapport qualité - prix pour ce petit hôtel avec salles de bain partagées. Très propre. A quelques minutes de la gare de Ikebukuro et de la zone commerciale (idéale pour le shopping standard, pas besoin d’aller à Shinjuku!). Bon à savoir : les murs sont très fins, alors munissez vous de bouchons d’oreilles, car même si les gens font attention il y a quand même du bruit quand il y a du monde ou lors du ménage le matin.
En extra: essayez le bain public Yuyuland a 10 min à pied!

This is fine as an inexpensive option. The staff is helpful and kind, but the walls are paper thin and you will hear conversations in adjacent rooms with such clarity, you may end up feeling bonded with your neighbors. You will be brushing your teeth with them and sharing the communal showers and toilets, so if you like togetherness, this is your place. If, however, you like a mattress more than an inch and a half thick, you may want to consider other options. While sleeping on the floor has its charms, it’s not for everyone.

We stayed in the Japanese Annex room for 3 nights. The room was clean no doubt but it was rather musky so we had to open the windows to air it. The fact that it was next to the outdoor laundry area, even with closed windows, you could hear people chatting while doing their laundry. Amenities were basic as this is afterall a hostel. The saving grace is the superb location which is close to the train station, restaurants and shopping district.

The futons were comfortable. Aircon and quiet sliding doors were helpful. Liked having a microwave oven and kettle and washing detergent. However, there was only one sink in the house.
Front office staff and cleaners were polite, friendly and accommodating.
Appreciated the free washing machine usage and the relatively cheap clothes dryer fee. However, there was only two dryers to three washing machines - which was a little inconvenient when having to wait for others to finish and remove their laundry.
The crockery and cutlery provided was a bit random and incomplete which was inconvenient.
Since we stayed in the upstairs annexe in room 22, it was a bit more troublesome especially when carrying heavy luggage or doing the laundry, as we constantly had to go up and down the stairs

Very close to ikebukuro station, easy access to everything we wanted to do, facility was nice, machine to fill water bottles in kitchen (!!!) and AC worked almost too well. Other guests may be loud. But we are also loud...

There was construction happening on a nearby building which woke us up one morning - didn't change our schedule and it'll probably be finished after 2025, but worth keeping in mind if sleeping in.

We stayed in the annex as a family of 4. It was perfect for us. Simple and a great price. Great location. Exit C1 was the closest exit (stairs) and C6 (escalator) was the next closest.
The grocery store “Life” had the best bentos and baked goods in the area. Also, cheaper fruit than in the department stores. It was 5 min away.

Lovely hostel, we booked the family room, decent size for family of 4 with big luggages. What I really like wash sink, shower & bathroom is separated which makes getting ready in the morning fuss free! Situated in good location, less than 3 mins walk to underground subway station! Lots of good restaurants around the area & shopping! A very good stay!

This place feels like home. We need to take off our shoes at the entrance. Sanitized slippers are provided. Guest can share the pantry, fridge and dining table. Drinking water dispenser also available which is a big plus for me. I do find the bathroom to be too small. I'm not fond of the tatami floor but that's just me. At my age its difficult to constantly squat down and get up. I would highly recommend this place to anyone below 50 :-)

It is clean even it has shared bathrooms and toilets only. It is small, but still nice with reasonable price. I like that I can open the windows on two sides of the wall to have breeze from the outside. It is a bit smelly at first when you just enter the room. Since it is small room, the previous guest's smell still in there. However, you can open the windows and let the air from the outside in to get rid of it. Service is good too. However, if you are the one that is sensitive with sound around when you sleep, I don't recommend. The room is right on street, where you can hear everything from the neighborhood. I heard violin from the next door on that night. It wasn't noisy though. Overall, it is good for the price, service and cleanliness.

奉勸所有臺灣人

千萬別住這間旅館!!!
千萬別住這間旅館!!!
千萬別住這間旅館!!!

櫃台有一個大陸男員工,會針對臺灣人,發洩他對臺灣人的惡意與怒氣

他會先假裝聽不懂你要表達的中文,然後曲解你的意思,讓你陷入不斷解釋的輪迴中

過程中他的音量永遠比你還大聲且會不斷加大,身體也會不斷靠近,並配合著挑釁的言語與行為:

你看我很討厭是吧 你投訴我啊 我在這很久了沒在怕的 (衝出櫃台+舉起雙臂)

2026.6.17.晚上,他在櫃台與我爭執,他叫警察來處理,事後警察發現事實與他報案的內容完全不同,就離開了

這次住宿經驗,是我自助旅遊30多個國家,遇過最差勁的櫃台服務與最噁心的旅遊經驗

即便發生了這樣糟糕的事,老闆也知情,他一樣神隱

我兩次在他上班時間到旅館,想面談這件事,而他選擇逃避與消失,當然也沒有後續的處理

這個旅館最大的是老闆與員工,若你想讓自己花錢還有受氣的可能,選這家旅館就對了

還有,枕頭與床墊有非常嚴重的腳臭味,這也是我在日本旅遊,從未體驗過的

施設は、洗面台、トイレ、冷蔵庫、シャワー共有です。シヤワールームは所々カビはありましたが、特に気にせず。シャワーの勢いあり、湯温も熱いのでたので気持ちよかった。
部屋には、ドライヤーと歯ブラシと紙コップ用意してあります。

西口から歩いて10分くらいで立地もよく、池袋で遊んでホテル帰るにはちょうどよい。
ホテル入口は夜24時で閉まるけど、セキュリティ番号教えてもらえるので、心配なし。

ホテル使用のスリッパも除菌BOXに入ってるので衛生的です。

ただ部屋のエアコンがカビ臭したので
そこは部屋の窓開けて対応。そこは残念。
