We stayed here for a week. It's a bit out of the way so there are less crowds, but you only have to transfer once to central Tokyo from Ikebukuro, and it is a lot more affordable and we got to do so much more! Beds were super comfy, lots of room and had a lot of amenities available. Staff were really friendly as well and were always willing to help, even providing some advice in English when we needed it. Tokiwadai had a really cozy local vibe and had a lot of good restaurants, convenience stores, chemists, and the train station/bus, all within 5 minute walking distance. The hotel also has vending machines and coin laundry on the first floor. If you are considering staying here, just go for it! I would love to stay here again the next time I visit Japan.

This is one of my favorite places in Japan. The price has gone up way too much though and the rooms are very outdated and have mold in them. You have to clean your own room take out the trash or pay extra to have it done. There is a laundromat on first floor but the drier doesn’t work well and you have to spend more. The showers is small for me and I’m 5’2. The area around the hotel is amazing; there are restaurants, grocery stores, 7/11, fast food, drug stores and the train station is 8 minute walk. Again this is my favorite hotel, but for the price now I wouldn’t do it again. There nicer places for the price.

The hotel was very welcoming they even had a map with near by store, food, parks ect haven’t seen a hotel do that yet. Was very nice! The area was amazing, grocery store, plenty of food places that are in walking distance, the train station is about four min walk, other tourist attractions are a short train ride away from place like Shibuya, Shinjuku ect. The only things that weren’t good was, the laundry cost way too much, you have to separate your own trash and throw it away, you have to pay for new bedding and towels, there is a room cleaning but you have to pay, the room has mold coming out of the walls, and I’m 5’ and the showers were small for me. There are dishes, hot plate, and a vacuum but when on vacation who wants to clean their own stuff.

Black mold on ceiling and corner wallpaper, brown stains under air conditioner. The water in the toilet would not stop and had to be fixed twice. The ceiling light in the main room comes on and off. I had a fever of 38 degrees and went to bed. Black molds on the ceiling fly when the air conditioner is turned on. The hotel staff was very friendly.

Nearby attractions include a calligraphy museum and shrine. A Inari shrine is also within reasonable walking distance. Naka- Itabashi station is a short walking distance from this location (about 10-12 minutes). Great location for using the Tobu line having two nearby stations.

I've stayed here before and had a great time. The people are great and I love the location. If you're not a tiny person do not let them put you in room 203. There's a drop ceiling in the shower/bath stall that comes down to hit my shoulder, and I have to keep my hand on the side of that drop so I don't smack my head into it. It's scary to lean down for soap or shampoo or anything and try to stand up without knocking yourself out or gashing your head on the corner of that dropped ceiling. Meanwhile you get all tangled up in the shower curtain. They should turn this into a storage room, or restrict it to only very short people. It's also on the noisy highway side of the property.

整形後のダウンタイムで8日間お世話になりました。ただ部屋で大人しくしているだけなので安い所を探しました。ホテルと言うよりウイークリーマンションのような感じでした。お部屋はツインでリビングと寝室があり広さも充分です。クチコミに騒音等のコメントがあったので、静かなお部屋をリクエストしました。全く騒音に関しては問題ありませんでした。電子レンジ食器や鍋、フライパン、電気ポットと長期滞在には持ってこい！全室喫煙ルームだけなので不安がありファブリーズ持参しましたが、使用する機会もなく快適でした。ときわ台の駅からも徒歩5分。駅前にはスーパーや飲食店も多くとても便利でした。 UberEATSも利用して何不自由なく滞在できました。フロントのスタッフさんも感じが良くてお勧めのホテルです。また是非利用させていただきます。ありがとうございました。

Excellent property and service for the price! The property is about a 5 minute walk to the closest train station, which was a lifesaver after long days of travel and exploring - there were also many restaurants, both dine-in and takeout, along with grocery and convenience stores nearby (also 5 minutes or less of a walk). The staff was extremely friendly and helpful - when we checked in, the Front Desk staff member who checked us in explained property information in English, our primary language and gave us helpful flyers (also in English). Another front desk staff member helped me all the way through the process of sending my luggage onto our next hotel in Osaka (honestly a MUST if you’ll be traveling any other method than by car, even just in the same city) in time for it to be delivered on the day of our next check in. The room itself was spacious for myself and my brother, with separate living and bed rooms, and enough storage space for all of our baggage and purchases. The bathroom felt a slight bit cramped, but overall not too big of a bother - I think more countertop space would be helpful. Everything that we would’ve needed amenity-wise was provided, including food wares, which did come in handy for dinners in the room. It was an enjoyable stay and I will definitely be keeping this hotel in mind for my next visit!

This is a decent place to stay especially compared to other hotels or apartments it was so much cheaper. I think the reason for that is that it was slightly off the main route. So you'd need to go to ikebukaro first before going elsewhere in Tokyo. Going was fine but coming back you'd have quite a line of people and a potential wait and standing journey back. This isn't the fault of the accommodation in any way of course but it's just to be a consideration.

The area of Tokiwadai was close to downtown Tokyo (Ikebukuro station) just a few stops by train, but is quiet and peaceful. The hotel is just a few minutes walk to the station so it was very convenient. The room itself was really small and old, but clean enough considering the price. No room service meant I had to sort and throw away the garbage myself but it was not too bad. The staff were really friendly and helpful too. Overall pretty good!
