Hotel was fine…convenient for its location by having a mall attached, and a stop for airport coach right at the front entrance of property…however, I think hotel management should have the consideration to the customer’s emergency situation…I prepaid my booking in advance…this was not my only stay…at least, this was my 2nd time (in January) within 3 months…this time, my hometown was hit by a severe snow storm…airport was completely shut down for days…road conditions were not safe to drive at all for a week and more…schools were closed for the same…some people just work at home due to the factors of after storm conditions especially with ice rain…so I decided to cancel the trip after just stayed for 1 day instead of staying for the whole time that I prepaid for…otherwise I would be stuck in Japanese for a long time…checked with Expedia, I was told that I need to check directly with the hotel…so spoke with the property manager for refunding the unused days due to the unexpected circumstances instead of getting stranded here in Japanese with the unknown duration for the storm but was declined…I would think that Expedia should help on customers to communicate with the hotel, and the management of the hotel should give the consideration of these abnormal circumstances…especially it was on the news everywhere about the weather problems…being a loyal customer, I do feel that it was a very disservicing and disappointing experiences.

We had a great experience staying at the property. Super convenient for early meals and late dinners and connected to sunshine city mall and minutes away from all kinds of shopping. Only issue i had was trying to drop off dirty laundry for laundry service. The front desk clerk told me they didn't do that. I had to show them the laundry tag that had the hotel name on it and the laundry bag provided in room with the hotel logo. Probably new but the language barrier was a challenge. Another great perk. The ikebukuro EV bus stops right outside the lobby. Two routes for a fun trip around the area

We had a larger than usual room which was nice but we paid for it. It was more expensive. Overall our stay was nice since we stayed there 38 years ago on our first trip to Japan. Kind of a homecoming you might say. Check in easy as well as check out. The distance to the station is a little far so consider using an airport limo bus or taxi from the Ikebukuro station. Nice stay.

For the amount of money spent i felt like being hot and sweaty in our room at night with no way to open a window was harsh.
Great location, part of sunshine city mall and near the Ikebukuro station and Ikebukuro station.

Only a ten minute walk to the train station that has access to all the major parts of Tokyo. We could not have been happier. The room was nice and our view from the 33rd floor was gorgeous. Good shower and tub. Provided our pajamas and fresh linens daily. Even a family mart right next to the elevator. We ate the best ramen of our entire trip only 200m away from the hotel.

Good generic hotel that has most of what you would want. The room did not have an air purifier /humidifier included by default like most 3* hotels we've stayed at during our trip. Very central location to Ikebukuro. Airport Limousine bus stop right in front of the hotel. Busy and very big hotel necessitating the use of the elevator which was very annoying during busy times. We once had to wait over 20min due to it being too full three times once it got to our floor. The temperature cannot be controlled in the rooms. It was at times very warm due to warmer than usual temperatures at the end of winter.

This was our second stay at this hotel (first in 2024). The location is excellent, close to two subway stations, so transportation is quick. The rooms are small but clean, and most importantly, the hotel is quiet. There's a shopping center, restaurants, and everything a tourist might need in Tokyo. The only downside I've encountered is the language barrier. The very young reception staff have a very limited command of English, essentially just basic conversational textbook phrases. If a situation arises where you need to provide an answer other than the one in the textbook, it's a problem. Because they don't understand the question, they smile prettily and say \"yes\" or start asking other hotel receptionists who also don't know how to answer the question. So, tourist... you have to figure out the answer yourself.

This hotel is directly connected to Sunshine City Shopping Center. That is a major plus for many who don't want to walk very far to shop. About a 10 minute walk is Ikebukuro station, and near it is Ikebukuro Animate street, where all the anime stores are at. It is one of the best lodgings for the average anime fan. Staff are amazing, lots of them too so you can reach them with little wait time. There's a shuttle bus service at the hotel for those who need to go to Haneda or Narita. Rooms are very similar to 4 star hotels in North America,. There's also a family Mart located within the hotel. Too much convenience here, hence top ratings from me.

Check in was truly the worst. I never saw such a long line of people waiting to check in to a hotel in my life. It was like waiting for a ride at Disneyland. It took more than 45 minutes. I was unsure whether to try the check in machine but it didn’t seem to be much faster. I know some might say well you can always arrive off peak hours but when you’re coming from somewhere else having to check out by 11am, you just need to check in to your next hotel as soon as possible. I honestly didn’t see anything about the hotel that justifies such demand. To me it was a very typical hotel, good location, and served by the airport limo bus. My first impression when I got there was I made a mistake booking here. They need to put their corporate heads together and seriously rethink their whole process and infrastructure. They need way more self service kiosk, maybe triple or quadruple the number, and they need to increase the check in staff by at least 50%. But of course that costs money and then this hotel just becomes more expensive, right? I thought the Japanese people were very efficient but this was a glaring exception.

This hotel is attached to the Sunshine City Mall. You CANNOT get a better location than that. Everything is super accessible, including the Ikebukuro train station. The location was perfect for our itinerary (we went to Kamakura, Gotemba (Hakone), Yebisu, etc.). Also, the huge Famimart just on the ground floor was top-level convenient. Our flight arrived late in the evening and we were still able to get good food from the konbini. The hotel is clean and spacious enough for a family of 3 (one teen). My only teeny complaint is that the hotel did not provide abundant amenities compared to others (just basic toothbrush kit) that provided face masks, lotions, etc. but for the price we paid, it was okay. The staff is very friendly and check-in/out process was seamless.

The staff were consistently warm and helpful, and the customer service was excellent throughout my stay.

My room was clean and refreshed daily, complete with new robes and slippers, which felt like a nice touch after long days out in Tokyo. Being in Ikebukuro was ideal too—just about a 10-minute walk from the Yamanote Line, making it incredibly convenient to get anywhere in the city.

I would absolutely stay here again on a future trip to Tokyo. Highly recommend!

I have stayed in this hotel twice since I just like the location. It is far from Ikebukuro station but I don't mind walking. And this hotel connects to Sunshine city so you will be close to everything you need and convenient if you don't take train so much.

However, the biggest problem this hotel has is its AC system.
It says they have AC, but you don't get access to control it and cannot change the room temperature since their AC system is an old central AC.
My first time staying at this hotel was in February, 2020.(Could be January)
Winter in Tokyo is very cold but I was hot when I was in the hotel room. And I am a really cold person. Then when we asked the front to change the temperature, they said they lowered it but we were still hot so they ended up bringing a fan in our hotel room. Well, a fan spinning in a heated room in Winter...
So if you are a hot person, this hotel would be really uncomfortable. My husband was sweating and really upset. He won't stay at this hotel in the future anymore.

This my second time stay, November, 2025, he didn't go to Japan with me so I stayed in this hotel again. I assumed the hotel room would be hot and I was right. Well, maybe I was forgetting how uncomfortable it was last time so it was hotter than I was expecting in the room. Again, I am a cold person. I am always cold.
I didn't say anything to the front though this time, because I knew they can't do anything about it. I am not sure about staying in Summer because I have sta

Sunshine City was conveniently located connected to the mall and subway station. Family mart is right next to the lobby level by the elevators. Sunshine City is also close to many eateries and restaurants outside the property.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Helped with questions and directions.

This hotel is one of the shuttle (limousine bus) locations for pick up and drop off from Haneda airport.

Rooms were large and spacious. Gave it a four star rating for cleanliness, overall everything was clean but in the sink area there was lots of residual toothpaste/soap splatter all over the wall. This looked off putting.

We did not pay for breakfast / did not receive free breakfast, so could not comment on the food. My rating is for convenience to many dining options. We did receive discount vouchers for some of the restaurants but did not use them as we went further out our daily excursions.
