Ikebukuro Royal Hotel East

The location of the hotel is very convenient, but the elevator and the hallway to the room are both quite narrow, making it a bit difficult to move large luggage. Also, the soundproofing might be too weak for some people as there is an ambulance siren sound. Aside from these issues, everything else is OK. 👍

Located at the east exit of Ikebukuro, it's a 5-minute walk from the Yamanote Line, but if you take the Fukutoshin Line, you have to walk a long way. Overall, the price/performance ratio is OK. The room is large, the bathroom is very small, and the washbasin is at the door. It's a magical layout.

It was very close to Ikebukuro Station, which was great! I was given amenities and was able to buy anything I needed at the pharmacy and convenience store nearby, so I'd definitely use this hotel again if I stay in Ikebukuro again. When I checked out, the area around the front desk was crowded, and the aisles were narrow, making it difficult to pass each other. There was only one elevator, so people waiting for the elevator and people wanting to take the stairs all got mixed up, which was a bit inconvenient.
