KOKO HOTEL Ikebukuro East

Rooms were clean, they can be kind of small for 2 people but if you have a full schedule planned it's no big deal! Staff were super helpful and having a laundry room was super helpful. Thank you!

Good

Compact room with just enough space and a cute bathroom with a surprise penguin friend to welcome us! Although housekeeping is only once every 4 days, they offer fresh changes of towels delivered in a bag on your door each day unless you indicate it isn’t necessary. The free drinks selection in the lounge are excellent and the meal vending machines are decent quality. For the location, staff, services, and amenities, this is an excellent and convenient hotel. Definitely would come again!

Laundry very convenient. However houses Ice machine/ water station and I worry about the airborne lint/ health aspect Staff all wonderful. Manager Michibayashi was exceptional. Break room with free drinks was very welcome. Would return quite happily, Thank you. Arigato.

Great hotel with nice lounge area with microwaveable food from vending machine (i didn't try any of it though), free (coffee/tea, soft) drink area. Helpful staf answered our questions. Behind the hotel was a 7-11 and a small park with cherry blossoms blooming since it was March. Very close to shopping and eating areas and Sunshine city, safe area. When you arrive, the front desk is located on the B1 floor and only stairs lead to it but, luckily, they have a step-free entrance but it needs a key. You have to call them on the intercom first but they will come up to meet you, just tell them you would like to use the elevator and they will lead the way, but that is not specifically said anywhere. Laundry: Had three coin washer/dryer units; Dryer isn't strong as the U.S. so probably need to run it 2+ times. I did find this hotel a bit far from the main station; Ikebukuro is a BUSY and HUGE station with many exits, so maybe have your luggage delivered to the hotel, if you have big suitcases. May be about 13-15 minutes to the Ikebukuro Station, also is a subway nearby. I didn't have any issues with the walk but I was with family that had a hard time walking, which made it a bit difficult. There is another hotel up the Street under the same company with similar sounding name, so make sure you have the correct name. Would recommend, if you don't mind walking a bit to the station. But close to airport pick-up bus stop.
