Across the reviews, guests praise the b ikebukuro for its excellent Ikebukuro Station location, generally friendly staff, and useful lobby treats, while noting compact rooms, firm beds, and centralized climate control that can feel too hot or cold.

Many like the breakfast buffet, though some found the selection repetitive or crowded. Cleanliness and maintenance feedback is mixed, with recurring notes about dusty carpets, bathroom mold, and aging furnishings. Expect a practical base with modest rooms and occasional climate quirks.

Via Expedia, it states that a fitness center is included with this property. If you filter “fitness center”, the B Ikebukuro will show. However, it’s like $20 USD, per visit to the fitness center. Not, per day, but per visit. This is extremely misleading and is why we booked this hotel. I will not spend $100+ to use a gym for a few days. Also, the carpets in the room hallways are dirty, and the place has an odor. Great location for transit and downtown Ikebukuro, but the hotel was not worth hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

The location was great, close to the train station, restaurants and shopping. They were very kind to hold our bags after check out until our flight time. Beds were clean and comfortable, the shower was very relaxing with interesting water features. There room had some scratched furniture and the lobby drinking water system was broken, these could be easily fixed and it could give a better impression to guests. A pizza restaurant was located on the second, even though it was expensive, it was very convenient after a long day of walking. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Convenient, close to a family mart AND 7-11. Ikebukuro station is a short walk, and there are so many restaurants and things to do. The staff is friendly and the gym is amazing (not included in the hotel price) The room itself is a little small but it is clean, and if you get a room on a higher floor, you’ll love the view.

The hotel is average and they can do better on the cleaning parts. The side of the bathtub should be cleaned more thoroughly and the chair in the room is disgustingly dirty to the point that I have to put a towel on top of it before use. The good thing is the receptionists there were very nice and very welcoming.

The room is too small for 3 people. It's actually a room for two people. The hotel just added a bed near the window and moved the chair and small table outside the bathroom, which made it hard for us to get into the room. There is also no room to open the three suitcases.

The bad experience was about the air-conditioning. There was no air-conditioning in the room. We felt the room was stuffy and then we set the temperature to the lowest and the fan speed to the maximum, still there was no cool air coming out from the ducting. When I asked the front desk staff. She told us that the hotel management turned off the air-conditioning during autumn in order to save energy. However, this issue was not highlighted when we made the booking. Neither the front desk staff informed us upon checking-in. We opened the window but only a some gap was possible technically due to security reason. The room was hot and stuffy throughout the 4 day stay. We are seeking for a compensation for such poor condition.

The b is conveniently located in Ikebukuro: it's less than a 5 minute walk to the train station. Room was pretty clean, and generally for a one bed room, it was one of the more spacious ones I've stayed in. The desk area in my room was a bit banged up/showing signs of wear and tear, but was still functional. I also had breakfast during my stay. It was buffet style. It had a decent selection, including bread, meatballs, spaghetti, fruits, miso soup, and salad. Drink selection included coffee and many different types of teas, along with juice. I thought it was decent: won't wow you but definitely fills you up for the morning! Staff were also very friendly, and they also do complimentary luggage storage for guests during checkout day for same-day pickup, which was very convenient while I explored the area before leaving. Overall, it was a decent stay. Would consider again if I'm in the area.
