Daiichi Inn Ikebukuro

Location was so important for me because I wanted somewhere convenient. It was super convenient and really easy to get to. I'll go back to this hotel just for the convenience. The staff were also super nice! They can speak English just fine. You can hold luggage after you check out which is awesome. During your stay they change out your slippers, PJs and towels every single night.

The rooms were REALLY REALLY tiny. We did a lot of shopping so packing 4 suitcases was kinda insane. And even during the stay there was just so little space. (But the location was so worth it and I'll stay here again even knowing this.) Getting a taxi was kinda annoying so just make sure you have uber or have a different back up plan.

Literally 1min walk from Ikeburoko East exit (Parco), Family Mart interconnected to the hotel for a quick bite. Amenities available at the lobby which is super convenient. Impressive that the family room can fit 4 beds so each of us have our own bed which is great for a good rest

Given that the hotel is next to the train track, be ready to hear the sound of the train traffic as early as 5+am as the sound proof is not really good. There is only one escalator ... which goes downwards in the morning and upwards in the evening...else you need to use stairs for 1 level which is not a big deal unless you are with luagges

Very Convinent Location. Room, Towels and Sheets are very Clean. Easy C/in & C/out with Self-machine. Have a Family Mart right downstairs. The konbini food there is really Good. Ichiran-Ramen is also right beside the next street. Hotel is just less than 3 minute walk to Subway. Parco, Seiibu Department stores you name it all are just a stone throw away. Highly Recommended! Will return to stay again when I get back to Tokyo. A☆☆☆

Room is alittle small for Twin Beds. Cant open big luggage. But it dosnt matter. Next time i will go for the Premier Twin Room. Bathroom is alittle small. But thats ok too.

Great location, just near one of the largest train stations. Ikebukuro is like a hidden gem of Tokio. Hotel was clean, facilities as expected, staff polite. Price was also acceptable..

Although I am aware of apartment sizes in Tokyo, one storage space would be grate. Also, we generally sleep with earplugs so we don't mind, but some could find passing trains noisy.

Hotel was conveniently locaged 2 - 3 mins walk from Ikebukuro Station East entrance (North). There are many different restaurants in the area with several big malls surrounding it. Room was clean and tidy. Bed was comfortable. The counter staff was polite and patiently helped me along to check-in using the manual check-in counter. They are able to communicate in simple English which was more than good enough. I will definitely return to this hotel again.

Great location, so close to Ikebukuro station. Everything you need in the area, convenience stores, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. The staff were lovely and helpful. Very quiet and we slept well.

The room smelt smoky although it was a non smoking room. It did get better after a couple of days.

I stayed at Daiichi before with groups of high schools students that I took to Japan. It was affordable and lots of fun things for young people to do. Thanks

The town itself has gotten run down and a little dirty but the stores inside are clean and bright.

Location was perfect. Central to Ikebukuro shopping and entertainment areas and next to train station.

Air conditioner was very noisy, which didn't help with sleep.

Good location! Near to Ikebukuro station, also there is airport Limousine to Haneda airport. Friendly staffs, help to keep our luggages also help to change the elevator direction when we need to move up or down our luggages.

This hotel is a bit old but very clean.

I pretty love the location of this hotel because of its accessibility. Also, there is a convenience store just bellow the hotel. What really impressed me was the sound insulation. The room is pretty quite even just located around this bustling area.
