What guests think

At House Ikebukuro, travellers highlight a convenient Ikebukuro location and warm, helpful staff, with simple tatami rooms at good prices appealing to budget-minded guests, though soundproofing is weak and space and amenities are generally basic.

Cleanliness is often praised, but some noted musky or moldy smells, wet shower areas, and housekeeping or replenishment not done daily. Facilities are modest, with shared showers and toilets, a small pantry and water dispensers, plus on-site laundry that guests found useful. Best for budget travellers comfortable with shared facilities and traditional futons.

Very close to ikebukuro station, easy access to everything we wanted to do, facility was nice, machine to fill water bottles in kitchen (!!!) and AC worked almost too well. Other guests may be loud. But we are also loud... There was construction happening on a nearby building which woke us up one morning - didn't change our schedule and it'll probably be finished after 2025, but worth keeping in mind if sleeping in.

施設は、洗面台、トイレ、冷蔵庫、シャワー共有です。シヤワールームは所々カビはありましたが、特に気にせず。シャワーの勢いあり、湯温も熱いのでたので気持ちよかった。部屋には、ドライヤーと歯ブラシと紙コップ用意してあります。西口から歩いて10分くらいで立地もよく、池袋で遊んでホテル帰るにはちょうどよい。ホテル入口は夜24時で閉まるけど、セキュリティ番号教えてもらえるので、心配なし。ホテル使用のスリッパも除菌BOXに入ってるので衛生的です。ただ部屋のエアコンがカビ臭したのでそこは部屋の窓開けて対応。そこは残念。

This is fine as an inexpensive option. The staff is helpful and kind, but the walls are paper thin and you will hear conversations in adjacent rooms with such clarity, you may end up feeling bonded with your neighbors. You will be brushing your teeth with them and sharing the communal showers and toilets, so if you like togetherness, this is your place. If, however, you like a mattress more than an inch and a half thick, you may want to consider other options. While sleeping on the floor has its charms, it’s not for everyone.

The futons were comfortable. Aircon and quiet sliding doors were helpful. Liked having a microwave oven and kettle and washing detergent. However, there was only one sink in the house. Front office staff and cleaners were polite, friendly and accommodating. Appreciated the free washing machine usage and the relatively cheap clothes dryer fee. However, there was only two dryers to three washing machines - which was a little inconvenient when having to wait for others to finish and remove their laundry. The crockery and cutlery provided was a bit random and incomplete which was inconvenient. Since we stayed in the upstairs annexe in room 22, it was a bit more troublesome especially when carrying heavy luggage or doing the laundry, as we constantly had to go up and down the stairs

This place feels like home. We need to take off our shoes at the entrance. Sanitized slippers are provided. Guest can share the pantry, fridge and dining table. Drinking water dispenser also available which is a big plus for me. I do find the bathroom to be too small. I'm not fond of the tatami floor but that's just me. At my age its difficult to constantly squat down and get up. I would highly recommend this place to anyone below 50 :-)

We stayed in the Japanese Annex room for 3 nights. The room was clean no doubt but it was rather musky so we had to open the windows to air it. The fact that it was next to the outdoor laundry area, even with closed windows, you could hear people chatting while doing their laundry. Amenities were basic as this is afterall a hostel. The saving grace is the superb location which is close to the train station, restaurants and shopping district.

這次住了9天，以3人房來講空間太小，應該是2人房的空間。浴廁空間極小，可能不是每日清潔，有幾日浴缸水沒清掉。榻榻米感覺沒有每天清潔，水杯可能需要自備，刷牙喝水都用同一個紙杯，甚至沒有每日更新😳！如果這些事情不在意，這裏的地點與環境確實很棒。

Lovely hostel, we booked the family room, decent size for family of 4 with big luggages. What I really like wash sink, shower & bathroom is separated which makes getting ready in the morning fuss free! Situated in good location, less than 3 mins walk to underground subway station! Lots of good restaurants around the area & shopping! A very good stay!

We stayed in the annex as a family of 4. It was perfect for us. Simple and a great price. Great location. Exit C1 was the closest exit (stairs) and C6 (escalator) was the next closest. The grocery store “Life” had the best bentos and baked goods in the area. Also, cheaper fruit than in the department stores. It was 5 min away.
