Toyoko Inn Tokyo Ikebukuro Kita-guchi No.2

Location was okay, seedy part of Tokyo. Overall close to metro station.

More chairs and tables needed at eating area downstairs near check in area

Rooms were decently sized. The bathroom is Western style whereby a a 6'2 person can fit under the shower. There is in-room safe. Shampoo/conditioner/body wash provided. No hand soap, but I just use the body wash. Downstairs, they also have lotion you grab yourself, as well as disposable shavers and disposable toothbrushes with toothpaste.I like the mix of tourists I saw in the cafeteria in the mornings...youngish looking people, retirees, tour groups (didn't like that as they all Line up same time for breakfast!), foreign tourists, families with young kids.Breakfast is cafeteria style downstairs from 6:30-9 and served with both Western and Japanese food, although the Western food is so-so. Western food is specifically baked goods (but mildly flavored) like mini rolls and croissants brought in fresh every day (I know since I was up early due to jet lag and saw them setting up), scrambled eggs/eggs, and cabbage salad. Japanese is mackeral/sardines, veggies, miso soup, and rice/flavored rice, There is variety but since we stayed six days, inevitably it will get repeated.Washing machine and dryer are downstairs and only take 100 yen coins. You have to use a vending machine for detergent (only takes 10 yen coins). Dryer--if you dry heavy clothes like cotton or something really substantial like jeans, expect to take more time. I had to feed the dryer machine 3x (for 30 mins each). Another idea is to hang dry in your bathroom (they have a laundry line in there).Staff is helpful and hit-or-mix on English side, but they are friendly and you will get your message across. There is luggage service here--I actually messed up by not scheduling the day before, so I ended up leaving before my luggage did, but the hotel made sure it was picked up by the luggage services (which I got confirmation email the next day while in another city). I used Airporter Luggage from Tokyoko Inn to Narita while I enjoyed a further 4 days in Osaka/Kansai...

We reserved two rooms but due to self-check in at a machine, we were apart...strangely, the check-in staff was unable to manually change so we can be at least on the same floor. So, we were stuck on different floor (5 and 11). It worked out but as you can imagine, made for inconvenience (luckily we had eSims on our phones to allow communicating).On the room, a negative is that the outlets are only near the bathroom or close to the table. There is some USB outlets near one side of the bed and none near the window.Location gets a mixed score from my family. I didn't mind but the hotel is located in a part of town that can be considered "seedy" depending on your norms, but for Japanese culture it is normal--as I've been to Jpn before, while for my spouse it is the first time. Specifically, there is a "love hotel" right next to Toyoko Inn. There are also hostess bars on your way from the convenient nearby JR Ikebukuro station. At same time, the location also has many restaurants and bars. Again, this is normal but I thought you should be aware. (Also recall many types of ppl stayed at hotels--they seem fine).

Near airport limo stop which is accessible on flat road. Easy to pull luggage. Also delicious breakfast. Coin washer and dryer available. Ice water at lobby.

I had a fantastic stay at Toyoko Inn Tokyo Ikebukuro Kita guchi No. 2. The location was very convenient, with easy access to transportation and nearby attractions. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were friendly and helpful.The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, making for a restful night. I especially loved the breakfast—it had a great variety of delicious options to start the day!Highly recommend this hotel, and I would definitely stay here again!

Loved the location. Lots of food options around. Easy check in and out. The morning breakfast options were pretty tasty and the staff were very nice. The hanger in the bathroom came in very handy. Nice amenities, very clean. Hot water and good pressure.

The bed was rock hard, it was difficult to sleep. If you open the window there is a lot of cigarette smoke which is unpleasant. The dryer downstairs takes a long time, over 1.5 hours.

good location. we booked bog double bed rooms, but the bed not big as what my expect

i don like self check in. booked 3 rooms, need to key in detail for every rooms.

Very good hotel in the center of Ikebukuro. Close to the station. Very tasty breakfast. Clean and small rooms. There is a kettle in the room.

The mattress was very hard the same with pillows. We had pain in our neck after the first night and then we didn't use them.

Very good hotel in the center of Ikebukuro. Close to the station. Very tasty breakfast. Clean and small rooms. There is a kettle in the room. Bathtub was great after a cold day.

Little bit noisy, because isolation was not so good. View from our room was to another building.

Convenient location, clean room, express self check in, good facilities, value for money

Simple, clean room, enough space since suitcases can fit under the bed. Location is close to Ikebukuro station is a pretty good starting point to explore Tokyo. Convenient washing machines and vending machines in the lobby.

One big blanket for a double bed and instead of a 2nd set of bedding, you can only get a thin additional blanket.

Even though the hotel is near the "red light district" it is completly safe, never had a problem or fear during my stay. Great plus being near Ikebukuro station, as most trains and subways go through that station. It is really easy to move to and from the hotel. All the staff was really nice and helpful. Breakfast was mostly Japanese, which helps to immerse in the culture, but they had few other options if you are picky.

Could have more occidental breakfast options.

Fast and easy check-in. The room was clean and quite reasonable priced.

The room was very small, a bit challenging to lay out the big luggage.

Great location !! Easy short walk from ikebukuro jr west central gate. Just avoid google map direction going to west north gate if u need elevator access for your luggages. I love the reliability of this business hotel chain.

Room is very small (expected for Tokyo)

Friendly staff and free breakfast

The room is quite small

The breakfast was fantastic, very filling with plenty of options to eat

there was very limited seating. Maybe make it a scheduled time to get breakfast. Overall the experience was great and I wouldn't change much.

Location was pretty close to a major station.Breakfast was decent, but there was very little tables to sit at.The staff were helpful.They clean the room every 4 days, which is more environmentally friendly than daily cleaning.

Window might as well be non-existent - it was a hand-span away from a wall, even in the middle of the day, we had barely any light coming through.We waited ages for the kettle in the room to boil and end up giving up.

location perfect, walkable to the train station and airport shuttle bus stop also near to shopping street.

Spacious and including breakfast

Air conditioning was not cold enough

Great breakfast, new fresh towels everyday, comfortable location and friendly staff!

WiFi was very slow and bathroom smelled like a very humid public toilet(no p** or p** smell but you know the weird humid smell?)

Passable

No escalator near station exitOnly shopping centre escalator available, but close at 8
