Daiichi Inn Ikebukuro

外からフロントへ通じるエスカレーターが一本だけしか無く、一方通行で、しかも繁華街にあるのに、23時を過ぎると止まってしまう。朝は下り専用となり、喫煙室から部屋に戻るのに、一々遠回りな階段をフロントの前を通って部屋へ上がるのはとても不便。

Ok hotel. The location is super, right next to Ikebukuro station. Room size is also bigger than most others in Tokyo. AC is powerful. The mattress and pillow also offer great support so you can have good sleep. Downside: 1. lack of coin laundary facility on-site altho a nearby coin laundry is only 2 min away. 2. the arrangemnet of the hotel is odd. The recption lobby is on the 2nd floor and there in only 1 escalator with no elevator acceas to it. So it goes down from 5-11am, to facilitate those checking out, and upwards for checking in after 11. If you want to leave your luggage with the concierge and come back after 11am, it can be a bit challenging trying to carry all your suitcases down the spiral staircase. Also the concierge service is a bit below par. There had been a couple of times my online shopping and lost luggage arrived, but i didnt get any notification from the hotel. I had to make the initiative to enquire. Also, when I tried to use luggage delivery service to the airport, the concierge said it has to be at least 2 days in advance. I couldnt do it because the airline lost my luggage and it didnt arrive until within 2 days. I asked the concierge is there same day delivery. All he could do was apologize. I then used google and could find same day luggage delivery service and did it myself. I didn't mind that but I thought concierge should be able to help with things like this. I'm familiar with Tokyo so not an issue, but imagine those not familiar.

There is only a 1 way elevator, (morning - downwards) and (evening - upwards). Other than that, hotel is very clean and comfortable. It is a 3 min walk to Ikebukuro station.

駅に近く　とても良かった ホテル内にコインランドリーがあるともっといいと思った

The 24 hours front desk staff were very helpful in helping us with weighing and storing our luggage, and calling a taxi for us. We were very happy with the excellent service. I liked how the tea cups came with a lid! There is a separate sink outside the shower and toilet area so it's helpful. For the price and location, the room is quite spacious - larger than expected for Ikebukuro area. The building itself is quite dated, and the shower drain does not drain well - bath water started to accumulate after a couple showers (took 15 minutes after showering for the water to completely drain away, argh). The washroom has no vent so it gets a bit smelly after a while. The hotel has old walls that does not block noises well, and you can hear the street and people talking in the hallway. The mattress is comfortable, though pillows were too soft - a common issue with Japanese hotels. There are no outlets by the head of the bed so we had to charge our phones at the counter. It is very conveniently located, less than 5 minutes walk from the North-East exit of Ikebukuro station. Lots of shopping options nearby, and a convenience store right outside. They only have one escalator that leads to the lobby - you'll need to use the stairs to go outside after 11am, though they are able to reverse the escalator direction if you need to bring heavy luggage downstairs. This would be inconvenient for people with mobility issues. We might stay here again but it won't be our first choice.

Great except the escalator as there is only 1 onsite which will change direction depending on the time of day.

Dai Ichi Inn was bery close to the local train station. Easy walk to shopping and dining areas. Good place to stay if you're planning to take metro or shop nearby. Ventilation in bathroom was poor, resulted in bad smelling bathroom. Didn't realise laundry was a paid service, staff did suggest a nearby 24 hr coin laundry (with bad reviews).

駅に近く、便利で良かったです。 エスカレーターが片道しかなくて、スーツケースを持って階段を使うのか？とおもっていたら、すぐにスタッフさんがエスカレーターの方向を変えてくれて、とてもありがたかったです。

The location is very near the subway metro station and JR. Lots of eateries and convenience stores including a Family Mart at the lobby of the hotel. We booked the family room which had 4 single beds. Although hotel was a bit old, the room size is ok since Tokyo’s hotels are mostly small. Hotel staff was very helpful and helped to switch the escalator direction to allow us to bring our luggages down.

ホテルの下にファミマがあって便利だった

良かった事は駅から近くて、ホテル下にコンビニがある事ですね。 残念な事は、部屋の壁が薄い？のか話し声が響くのと、部屋のクーラーが洗浄されていなくルーバーがカビだらけで周りには埃が溜まった状態で付けると若干臭いので付けずに寝た事。 後、お風呂が排水が悪くすぐ詰まり3人目入った時が目詰まりひどく、流れず足首まで汚水がきた。 1泊料金安いから仕方ないのかもしれないけれどもう利用しないかな。

水回りがカビが気になった。 フロントの方は外国人でしたが、対応が素晴らしかったです。

是個很有年代的飯店了，但是感覺的出來有在維護，房間內很明亮，但是那個年代感還是會讓人感覺有點不安，冷氣很涼，但是廁所有一點味道。

床單有污跡，反映後立即得到處理

Good Location and clean

浴室に部屋干しのようなにおいが充満しており不快でした。多分シャワーカーテンが臭いのだと思われます。浴室の清潔さをもう少し改善して頂ければと思います。

お風呂の流れが悪かった

Location is convenient. The hotel looks a bit old, and there is no elevator to G/F, a bit inconvenient for elderly and kid to walk stairs. Small room with insufficient spaces for luggage’s. Smell in toilet is not nice. But room cleansing service is acceptable. Very Good to have fresh bottles of water and fresh towels everyday.

The room equipped everything i need, very clean, staff were super helpful. The location is perfect, close to subway lines.

The hotel has extremely friendly staff. We arrived very early, and while we went out for breakfast and a walk, they stored our luggage until check-in time, which was very helpful. We stayed in a room with two beds; it was clean, well maintained, and provided amenities. The location is excellent, as it is very close to Ikebukuro train station, making transportation very convenient. I highly recommend this hotel.

에어컨 세게 잘 나오고 스태프분들 전부 친절하셨고 위치가 역 바로 앞이라 좋았습니다. 룸에서 기차 오가는 소리가 들리긴 하는데 딱히 크게 거슬리지는 않았고 asmr 같은 느낌이라서 개인적으로 자는 데는 문제 없었습니다. 건물 1층에 편의점 있는 것도 좋았어요. 다만 와이파이가 정말 자주 끊기더라구요. 개선하면 좋을 것 같습니다. 그리고 낮엔 괜찮았는데 밤이 되니까 숙소 주변에 걸즈바로 불리는 유흥업소 홍보 팻말을 든 사람들이 많이 보였습니다. 으슥한 골목 분위기가 돼서 여자 2인이서 밤에 돌아다니기는 좀 꺼려졌어요.

Very convenient location right next to the Ikebukuro Station. Not much space since we had 3 twin beds in the room, but it was adequate for us since we're not in the room that much, and bigger than comparable rooms in Tokyo. Staff (front desk and housekeeping) are very friendly and professional. Only gave 4 stars for Eco-friendliness due to the mandatory cleaning of the room after every 3 nights' stay. (We were there 7 nights, and would've kept and used our towels longer without housekeeping cleaning the room, however, understand their policy due to hygiene concerns. They cleaned our room the day before our scheduled departure, which I thought was a waste, since we were leaving the very next morning.)

清潔なホテル。壁は薄く、隣の部屋の声が聞こえる。

Everything is good except the wall is so thin, you hear neighbor snoring, cough, sneeze, trains running very often and many neighbors not turning off alarm clock for 3 days it happened in many different rooms on the 6th floor

Location is good. The price is reasonable. However the toilet is too small.

There's more pros than cons. Yes it's a tiny room but I mean what room isn't tiny in the typical Japan hotel? -Close to the station -It was quiet for my stay, I was facing the tracks and it was fine. Like any hotel, there were neighboring guests were loud in the halls but that's just etiquette -Staff were always super nice and helpful -A/C heating was great -Has all the amenities you need -Right next to a family mart, really easy to get the random thing you need at night It has some cons but they are workable: -Their wifi is not good for streaming but it works fine if you were downloading the shows the watching it after -Sometimes their ventilation wasn't very good or strong especially if you have to naturally do certain things in the bathroom

The location is great, transportation is convenient and there are many shopping venues and restaurants nearby. The room size is ok.

Very clean and amenities are great! staff members are all super kind and super great manners! Japan is super wonderful. Only thing that I a little worry was.. the door of the hotel room … I think kind of thin?! Maybe?!. While I was staying, I could hear all the talk someone talking so clearly in the hall way.. was it near?! my room or not.. so, that means.. my voice also can be heard from the hall way?! Other than that, Super great! Room is kind of small, but very very clean!! and module style toilet and bathroom also super clean but small, if you are taller than 190cm, you should request the special room for tall people, I guess. Breakfast is ok! Japanese small amount with some variety! all you can eat style so.. ok!! and only 1500 yen! I think reasonable, and the restaurant is very clean too!

small room but convenient location. Nice staff .

The location is convenient and have tons of subway lines to transfer if needed. But if you’re a light sleeper then should request a room away facing the train station otherwise it’ll be super loud.

Food options and internet were great. Room was always clean and comfortable and staff were great and very helpful. They held our bags after checkout until our hotel transfer arrived which was several hours wait. Thank you!

Very good staff, spoke very good english and were easy to talk too and were very accommodating.

設備の古さや排水の悪さ、騒音など気になる点はあったものの、それらを払拭させるほどスタッフの対応やサービス、ホスピタリティが素晴らしかった

พนักงานต้อนรับดีมากยินดีช่วยเหลือ การเดินทางสะดวกใกล้แหล่งช็อปปิ้ง ใกล้สถานีรถไฟมาก แนะนำและราคาไม่แพง จะกลับมาพักอีกแน่นอน

We like this hotel location so closed to train & metro station plus very convenient to find food & supermarket. Hotel staffs do not speak good English but they are helpful and friendly!

I had a great experience at Daiichi Inn. We arrived early but they stored our luggages for us. Staff were very polite and kind. The location could not be better than this- 1-2 minute walk from Ikebukuro station. Given the location, I had expected it to be noisy through the day and night, but surprisingly the noise level was low and I slept very well. I recommend their breakfast- it is worth paying extra for sure.

Very practical location near Ikebukuro station. Good service from the staff. There is a limo bus stop nearby going directly from and to Haneda.

Location, location, location!

Location is very good，just 3min to JR station. The room is very clean even it is a bit old hotel. Valuable and Spacious than Shinjuku hotel. Overall is good

Simple hotel, conveniently located a stone's throw away from Ikebukuro station and the limo bus pick up point. Loved its proximity to shopping.

Amazing location.

在東京來說房間算是寛闊，地點非常方便在池袋東北出口，只需走兩分鐘便到。早餐種類繁多美味！下次會再入住！

Excellent location next to Ikebukuro station, many restaurants and a minute from McDonalds for breakfast on weekends when other cafes don't open yet. !0 min walk to Anime and another 10min to Sunshine City Plaza. Excellent for basic hotel and clean bathrooms. Our room was right adjacent from the station, so could hear the trains passing until they stopped running, but this didn't bother us at all. My husband is a light sleeper and he didn't have any problems, especially when we're so tired from a full day's activities.

The location is great, transportation is convenient and there are many shopping venues and restaurants nearby. The room size is ok.

駅に近く便利です

Locate at the center of city, very close to transport station, shopping center, dinning restaurants....

The only strong point of this hotel is the location. The condition of the room is tired and old. Need to refurbish. There are black stains around the washing basin. Water pressure is not good too, as the hand shower head is less than 2 inches. Breakfast has not much variety. I admire the chef who can cut the cakes and fruits into smallest pieces possible. Only a few pieces on display from time to time.

딸과 함께 1박 묵겄는데 우선 지허철역과 거까워서 좋고 직원들 친절해요. 조식도 맛나요. 다음에 도쿄 간다면 묵을 샹각 맀어요

朝ごはんが美味しかったです

部屋も充分な広さで、ベッドもセミダブル？と広く快適に過ごせました。 朝食も美味しかったです。

Good breakfast but some menu was repeated everyday.

朝食付きで予約しましたが、おいしかったです。

It was a very easy stay and staff were extremely helpful, the breakfast buffet was great

The hotel is so clean. Our room was comfortable but not very big. They may have larger rooms, we booked one with two twin beds. It was nice that there was a mini fridge. Walking to Sunshine City Mall was quick and easy. Actually, it was easy to walk pretty much everywhere. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly polite and helpful. We didn't add the breakfast buffet when we booked our rooms because we weren't sure if we would use it. It was quick to go to the desk and purchase tickets. My husband's favorite thing was the spaghetti. There was an interesting variety of food to choose from. Having a Family Mart on the ground level was so nice. Most of the staff spoke English so that made things easier for us. All in all, I'd stay there again and would recommend it if I knew someone was traveling to the area. Not super fancy but it's clean, comfortable and convenient.
