Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (2/5): 心のない接客 - チェックイン時の説明がなさすぎ。 朝食もWifiも、何もかもこちらから質問しなければ説明なし。 ホスピタリティーがまったく感じられなくて残念。 リピートはあり得ない。
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good location, good size - Chose to stay in Ikebukuro for once instead of the usual hotspots like Shinjuku and Shibuya. Great location right next to escalators leading to the train station, options to eat nearby and decent sized room with space to actually open our suitcases, unlike other shoebox sized hotels in Japan where we've struggled to do barely that. Also had an extra suitcase delivered via courier on our second day which they were more than happy to accept and advise us it had arrived when we came back to our hotel after a long day.
• ブクロ (4/5): - 部屋の空調の温度設定が調整できない。 トイレのウォシュレットが故障していて使えない。 風呂にカビが生えていて、衛生的ではない。 ホテルの駐車場も故障中で使えない。 しかし、立地は最高です。
• Verified traveler (4/5): - トイレとお風呂を改善していただきたい。お風呂は広くて良いのですが、お湯になるのが遅い。また、シャンプー等の質が悪い。部屋は広くて好きなのに残念。
• Osamu (8/5): 格安弾丸ツアー！ - 一泊だけの東京滞在で格安のホテルを探しこのホテルを予約しました。酒が入りチェックインは夜中になりましたが受付も丁寧に対応してもらいました。部屋も清潔でベットも大きめでゆっくり休めました。また東京に来たら泊まりたいホテルです。
• Hiroto (8/5): 立地良し - 立地は駅（地下道を通れば雨にもほぼ濡れず）も歓楽街も近くて良い。　部屋も一般的なビジホより広かった。　築年数はけっこう経過しているのが各部の経年劣化で分かる。　洗面台からずーーーっとチョロチョロと水が流れる音がしていたのと、有料チャンネルのコンテンツ（ア〇ルト以外）がマイナーな作品ばかのだったのが残念…
• Nozomi (4/5): 写真に騙されないように。 - 部屋が写真とは大違い。古いし汚いし、風呂臭いし。仕事で使っただけで、もう二度と泊まることはないですね。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - はっきりいって、コスパは良くありませんが、何よりも便利な立地とホテルのある程度のグレードで、快適ではありました。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 静かで室内も綺麗だった
• kumiko (4/5): - ワイファイがなかった。 部屋が暗い
• Verified traveler (4/5): - There was black mold on the shower tile. Very unhealthy and could make people sick. Room 607.
• Verified traveler (8/5): お部屋が広くて最高でした - お部屋が広くて良かったです。 ドリンクのバーサービスは 嬉しかったです
• Verified traveler (4/5): - お部屋の整備があまり良くないです。 最初に案内されたお部屋の電気がつかず、別の部屋に案内して頂いたのですが、前の部屋同様ドアの鎖のところが錆びておりロックする際手が汚れました。 貸し出しサービスは充実しているかもしれませんが、お部屋自体のコンディションは良いとは言い難いです。
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 唯一的優點就是地點不錯人員服務也很親切~其他設施老舊清潔不夠乾淨有異味，放在浴室的藥膏清潔打掃後還不見了。雖然不是貴重物品，但是這種犯錯誤真的很誇張。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - トイレの水が流れたままで壊れていた。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 悪くはない - トイレは古さが目立ったが、ベッドルームは改装したのか、比較的新しい感じがした。長所は、部屋が広くてゆったりできることと、池袋駅から近いこと。短所は、インターネットの遅さ。ケーブルを使っても画像のダウンロードに時間がかかるし、WiFiはすぐに切れた。朝食は、四種類の中から選べる。味は、可もなく不可もなくと言ったところ。
• yosimoto (4/5): - お部屋にゴキブリがいて少し残念でした。お風呂場は、広く快適でよかったです。コンセントの箇所が少なくスマホ2台を充電すると他に使えるところがなかったのでもう１，２か所あると助かりました。（冷蔵庫のカバー上の２か所しかわからなかったです。）
• Verified traveler (6/5): 위치만 좋음 - 위치는 아주 좋아요 근데 이 가격치곤 깔끔함 등이 좀 떨어지는듯.. 그래도 직원분들은 친절합니다
• Verified traveler (4/5): 立地が便利 - 便利なところにあります。サービスや快適性は期待すべきではないでしょう。泊った部屋が意外に広く驚きました。少し古く、20年くらい前のビジネスホテルを思い出す感じでした。池袋駅至近ですのでコンビニや食事には全く困りません。
• UNEMOTO (8/5): - 部屋も広く、滞在も長くいられるため、ゆっくりさせて頂きました。 少しフロイントのサービスが、わかりにくい点がありました。 また、池袋に泊まるときは、利用します。
• HITOMI (6/5): 妥当かな - 宿泊費とサービス.清潔感等...妥当かなーって感じです。綺麗ではなかったですが、広くてリッチが良くて良かったです。でも、廊下から下水??の匂いが結構してそれはきつかったです。シャンプーは選べて良かったですし、クルクルドライヤーとかも貸してもらえて良かったです。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - ベットの寝心地が良く、またスタッフの対応がとても良かったです。
• Verified traveler (8/5): Srix 호텔 - 스트릭스 호텔의 경우 객실의 크기는 일반적인 일본 호텔대비 조금 큰 정도 였으며 조식은 잘 되어 있었습니다. 청결상태도 흡연실 비흡연실로 구분되어 흡연을 하시는 분들은 흡연실로 선택하시면 됩니다. 다만 와이파이가 없어서 당황 했습니다..
• Verified traveler (6/5): 보통수준의 비즈니스호텔 - 룸에 다소 먼지가 많음 친절하며 조식은 만족스러움
• Nobuhiko (4/5): 部屋をもっと清潔感のあるものにしてほしい - ホテルが古く、WiFiが部屋にない。テレビなども古く小さく20年くらい前のものだろう。床のカーペットが古くてあまりきれいな感じがしない。禁煙の部屋を予約したと思ったが禁煙の部屋で息が苦しかった。
• chikako (8/5): 街中で便利な場所 - お部屋が 広くて快適でした。 羽田空港までの リムジンバスがすぐ近くで 乗る事ができて 良かったです！
• T (6/5): - 部屋の中のものがだいぶ傷んでいた。
• Tomoko (6/5): - 壁紙が、目立たない箇所だけど2箇所剥がれていたのと、サービスで借りた加湿器の中が汚かったのが残念でした。
• joji (6/5): - 無線のネットがないという驚きのホテルです。有線はあるらしいですが、ipadだったので使えず。周辺は飲食するところあるから便利です。部屋は古めで総合的には、なんとか中の下
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 網上訂單列明包免費wifi,但入住後才知道所有房間均沒有wifi. 非常失望。 早餐不錯！份量和味道都很滿意。
• Verified traveler (6/5): 外が騒がしい - シャワーカーテンがちょっと汚いかなぁ、施設が古いので仕方がないのかも？ 夜中外の通りで怒号が聞こえ怖かったです。
• xiujuan (8/5): - お部屋にWIFIがないのが残念
• Verified traveler (6/5): - 部屋にポットが無かったことと、朝食が選択式になっているが、早い者勝ちなので、人気のセットがすぐなくなり、朝食がショボい
• Verified traveler (4/5): - ウォシュレットが使えなかった。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 部屋の不備があった際に即座に対応してくださったのはありがたいと思った。 しかし、部屋によっては日中暗く感じたので、間接照明を含めて、一般的な蛍光灯等があると助かると思う
• Verified traveler (8/5): - ベッドもお風呂場もキレイでとても気持ちがいい。 ただ一つ、コンセントの位置が猛烈に分かりづらい。 だいたい机の天板周りにあるものだが、机の下に潜っているチェスト？の天板の影になるところにコンセントがあって、探すのに少し手間取った。 その他のコンセントはベッド横に一口、窓際に一口あった。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - チェックアウトの時間が遅いのでゆっくり休めました。
• H (8/5): - バー・カフェが休みがちなところが、ちょっと残念でした。
• atushi (8/5): - 交通機関がちょっと不便です バスの利用をもっと進めるべきです。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - In spite of the slightly out-dated design and utilities, everything is in working order. For those who value simplicity and/or location more than modernity, I would recommend this hotel. If you need a wifi connection in your room, look elsewhere. Breakfast was pretty good in my opinion.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 駐車場が小さく入れず、残念でした
• Donggeon (8/5): 괜찮았습니다 - 위치가 꽤나 괜찮은 곳에 있어서 좋았습니다 다만 밤에 무언가 소음이 많이 있어서 취침하기 불편하긴 했습니다만 전체적으로 호텔은 괜찮았습니다
• MIS (4/5): - 正面玄関が工事(修理)中だったのは仕方がないにしても，ホテルの看板が点灯しておらず．場所が分かりにくかった．
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 池袋駅に近く便利です。
• ossan (6/5): - 地下街の出口がホテルの近くにあり池袋駅からは雨がふってもさほど濡れずに行き来できます。周りには飲食店も多くとても便利です。数年前にも利用したことがありますが、設備が少し古くなったかなと感じました。
• Verified traveler (6/5): 仕事で泊まるには十分です - ここは朝食が朝7時から、と少々ゆっくり。hotels.comさんのシステムで朝食開始時間を表示していただけると無駄に朝食付きのパッケージを選択せずに済むのでご検討下さい。
• Makoto (8/5): ちょっとだけ気になる - 無償のワングレードアップはありがとうございました。⏰目覚まし時計が12時間ズレている。仕事での利用なら困る人が沢山いると思うので気を付けて欲しいものです。
• Toshiyuki (8/5): - It was averagely good during my stay, but just one day I couldn't bathe due to the boiler fix. I know that this fix couldn't be avoid, but it was not good situation for me.
• Yasumasa (4/5): wifiが部屋では使えない - wifiが部屋で使えないのは、今時どうかと。
• Verified traveler (10/5): 快適 - 朝食の和定食がとても美味しかったです 部屋も綺麗で清潔な感じでまた次旅行するときもここに泊まろうかと考えています
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 古いのは否めないが、清潔感はまあ普通。立地は良いです。接客もナチュラルで個人的には居心地の良い雰囲気でした。
• Verified traveler (4/5): - ウェルカムドリンクがありがたかったです。朝食が軽すぎたのと、有料放送が観られなかったのが少々残念。
• Wallace (8/5): - Nice hotel in city, good in shopping and food & beverage, near to the station as well
• Miya (6/5): Not clean enough - Hotels in Japan usually have air clear machines but they haven’t so smell of smoke. But the location is convenient.
• Leung (4/5): Old Hotel, but good location - it is small and old hotel, room is tidy but old style. location is very good
• Gucci (6/5): - トイレ🚽が旧式でしたね。そこだけ残念。
• jinpapa (4/5): 良かったのに残念 - 部屋に入り良いなと感じたが、浴室の洗面所の下カバーが壊れていてテープでとめてあつたが外れてガタン。ウォッシュレットも使えない。エレベーターが一階に着いてもドアが開かなくオープンボタンを押してやっと開いた。びっくり。
• Verified traveler (8/5): 立地良し寝るだけにはOK - 古いビジネスホテルです。鍵が不思議な形式。立地は駅チカで良いですが、半ば繁華街の内側に位置しているので子供連れの方等には向かないかもしれません。ホテル全体に清潔感はそれほどありませんが、部屋は広いです。
• Masaaki (6/5): 老朽化は否めないが、それを補う努力を感じられる良いホテル - フロントスタッフの対応や、アメニティの努力、ウェルカムドリンクサービスなど、できることをとてもよく頑張っている良いホテルだった。ただ、どうしても部屋の老朽化が見てとれ、便器のふたが割れていたり、蛇口が壊れていたりと、諸々の傷みがどうしても目についてしまい、あまりゆっくり部屋で過ごす気分に離れない。他の人も書いているのを読む限り、部屋の傷み具合は部屋によるのかもしれないが、寝るだけのつもりの人には、立地や価格を考えると、良いホテルなんだと思う。自分はもう一度泊まることは恐らくないかな。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 建物自体にはほんの少しだけ古さを感じますが、しっかりと掃除がされており、部屋の中やバスルームともにとても綺麗です。ベッドも広くふかふかで快適。お部屋も広々。スタッフの皆様のチェックイン、アウト時のご対応も素敵でした。
• Tetsuya (8/5): 快適を提供するコスパ優良ホテルです。 - 駅近なので騒音は否めません。あとはフロント対応は大変親切なのですがシフト間の引継ぎが余り宜しくない。前夜に部屋掃除はいらないと伝えたのに11時半に確認の電話で起こされる事しばしば。このご時世にwifi環境は悪いですが、総合的にはコスパに優れて清潔なビジネスホテルです。辛口の私が延長して1週間以上滞在した稀有なホテルです。おススメです！
• Verified traveler (6/5): 都会のホテル - 県外から1泊するのに利用しました。 施設も綺麗だし、立地も良いしすごく快適でした。 シャンプーの貸出があるのが1番良い！ 備え付けだと髪がギシギシのパサパサになるからいつも宿泊の時は持っていきましたがここなら普段使ってるのがあるし持っていかなくてOK フロントの受付対応が海外の女性でしたがニコニコ気持ちよく接客していただき好印象でした。
• KanPui (10/5): 改善Wifi設備 - 很難相信房間會冇wifi 祇有Lobby有，很不方便!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great Location, Amazing Staff - Room was comfortable and clean Staff were very, very friendly and helpful. Hotel very close to station and shops. Wifi in rooms would have been great. Overall, very happy with my stay.
• Jae Sung (8/5): - 가성비 좋은 조용한 호텔
• もりひろ (8/5): 池袋駅から近く、便利なホテルです。 - 海外からの一時帰国で、妻と初めて宿泊しました。 ダブルルームでしたが、ベッドも大きく、部屋もスーツケースを広げる余裕もあり、快適でした。 また、フロントでシャンプーとコンディショナーをいくつかのブランドから選べるサービスがあり、妻は普段使用しているブランドがあって、喜んでいました。 湯舟も広めで、毎日ゆっくりと浸かることができました。 食事無しのプランでしたので、レストランの評価は分かりませんが、宿泊者には、レストランかバーで、ウェルカムドリンクのサービス（お酒含む）がありました。 アメニティも十分でしたし、部屋の清掃も日本人スタッフの方が行っており、毎日綺麗にしていただきました。 唯一残念な点は、コインランドリーが無かったことです。（クリーニングのサービスはあります） スペース的に難しいのかもしれませんが、外国人の宿泊客も多いようでしたし、コインランドリーがあるとすごく助かります。 （ホテルの近くにコインランドリーがあるのを最終日に発見しましたが・・・） フロントの方の応対も丁寧で、ホテル宛に届けてあった荷物を部屋に運ぶのを手伝ってくださったり、不自由なく滞在することが出来ました。 料金もこのエリアではかなりリーズナブルで、満足です。 次回もぜひ利用させていただきたいと思います。
• Anan (8/5): Fun area - The area was really fun!
• monny (6/5): - fair but not very clean. Pillow is not good.
• Louis (6/5): Very close to metro but not clean enough. - Good chose for couple for sight seeing in the down town or periphery of Tokyo. Price lower than hotel in Shinjuku generally. 50/50 for family with kid, metro station exit with escalator to ground level, and reach to hotel in a minute, but may not be clean enough for kid may roll over the carpet and sofa, you may not pick the provided non-disposable flip-flop even.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 재방문 의사 있습니다. - 신주쿠 APA호텔에 주로 숙박했었습니다. 이번엔 이케부쿠로로 일정이 있어 스트릭스에서 지냈는데요. 방크기는 체감상으로는 신주쿠APA호텔에 2배 정도 되는듯 했습니다. 시설물이야 오래된 느낌입니다만 단순 출장으로 가기엔 충분히 쾌적한 호텔입니다. 조식도 가볍게 먹기에는 좋았구요. 도쿄메트로에선 1분, JR선에선 5분거리로 위치도 좋습니다. 한가지 아쉬운건 인터넷이 안된다는 점이네요.
• Verified traveler (8/5): 東京出張年間４回のビジネスマンからのコメント - 全体的には良かったと思います。 フロントデスクの態度、朝食は自分の席迄持参して頂けるので非常に助かります。 今のビジネスホテルはセルフが多いですから。 ホテルは創業ちょっと古い様ですが、内装はやり換えている様ですので、問題ないと思います。 清潔感ＯＫ、ライトの明るさＯＫ、快適度ＯＫ、設備のコンディションはＯＫ、ＪＲ池袋駅へのアクセスはなんと３-５分程度（歩く速さや信号２つー３つ）待つ必要はありますが、地下道から行けば、 Ｃ６という出口から出れば徒歩２０秒で到着します。便利さは抜群ですね。 ＡＶのカタログ見え見え過ぎて気持ち悪いです。 別になくてもいいのでは？ 又、１１階のバーの無料ドリンク券をもらいましたが、 実際に上がってみると、笑顔が全くありませんでした。 何かお客様が来たら失礼ではないかというような顔をして ましたので、再教育した方が良いのではと感じました。
• Wing kin (6/5): I will not recommend other friend to stay - The bathroom curtain is very dirty and toilet cover broken
• まさ (2/5): 普段は快適なホテルですが - 池袋駅の近くで地下通路の出口からすぐの場所にあり、便利なのでいつも利用していますが、今回はフロント対応が最悪で不快な気分になりました。禁煙室を予約したのに何食わぬ顔で喫煙室にして、クレームを言うと消臭処理してると言うのみ。それは禁煙室ではない。いつものフロントではなかったが、呆れた。
• KITAGAWA (8/5): 立地がいいホテル - 地下道から出たらすぐの場所にあり立地はいいです。 部屋も風呂も広くて快適でした。 早朝にインターネットを使いたくなり、モジュラーケーブルを持ってきてなかったので、フロントに聞いたところ、わざわざ部屋まで届けてくれました。 貸し出ししてくれるところは多いですが、このクラスのホテルでは自分で取りに行くのが一般ですので驚きました。
• グッチ (8/5): - 駅近で、部屋も広くて良かった。但し、インターネットで予約した部屋のタイプとは違っていたのは残念。受付に申し出たが、変えてくれなかった。そのタイプが良くて予約したのに残念。バーでウエルカムドリンクを飲めるのも良かったのに。
• Alex (4/5): I wouldn't recommend - This is an older hotel close to the West Exit of Ikebukuro Station. Convenient, yes. But, the only hotel wifi was in the two-seater lounge in front of Reception. This makes getting any work done in your room impossible. Also, the hallways smelled like smoke. Address these and I might recommend this hotel. As is, I would not.
• Samuel (10/5): Great Stay in a Cozy Hotel. - It was a super clean and comfortable hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
• Verified traveler (8/5): No room wifi - Spacious rooms in the hotel. There is no wi-fi in the hotel rooms though, which is unusual for a hotel in Tokyo
• Alice (2/5): Horrible hotel..Fake pictures on website. Conned! - It was a horrible from a non working aircon to dusty room.. to burnt lamp shades and a broken showerhead...to a locked window with no ventilation to hotel staff saying they have run out of iron 2days in a row...to horrible pillows n bed that led to a backache and headache and hotel staff who can't speak English and refused to help us call a cab.we had such a horrible time. Please do not be conned by the pics on their website. Don't book this hotel ever.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Friendly hotel staffs with barely able to communicate in English. (Make sure sharpen up Japanese) Hotel shelves abit worn out. I experienced hotel bed with a bed spring pointed out at bed side. Hotel is near to Ikebukuro station (about 10min walk), with many shops and malls nearby.
• Guest (4/5): Seriously plumbing issues - I was actually excited to come here at first since it is a 4 star hotel with a very good price with a larger room (in Japan standards). However, the cleanliness is something less to be desired. There were plumbing issues and it is unknown if that is a constant problem or have been reported by others. Even though the rooms were swapped, the toilets would either never flush or leak and had a smell. When it leaked, it would appear to leak urine from the floor above. The bathroom floor was always wet and there is black mold. I would not go bare feet in the bathroom. The staff was seen cleaning the floor with bath towels, then taking the same towels to clean the toilet and then the sink! The water on the floor was not disinfected when reported, it was simply rinsed with water. The sink does not directly connect to the pipes, water from the sink falls out of a cut plastic tube and drops several inches to the ground drain. It was hard to trust that the room felt clean as a result, it reduced room comfort. The windows had to be opened most of the time since the A/C did not seem to cool. Staff was friendly but it's unfortunate the hotel had those issues.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The location is nice. Breakfast is good. Extra shampoo and conditioner choice are good
• Nathan Pitts (8/5): Close to train and local food. - Less than a block from Ikebukuro station. Local dinner right around the corner. Room was larger than I was expecting. For the price it was a good deal. Other four or five star hotel are triple the cost. Double bed with a desk, TV and large bathroom.
• Alvin Siu Lun (8/5): 1 week stay in ikebukuro - good, but room was very small and the photo on hotels.com was larger than actual room
• Conrad (8/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. Good location to Ikebukuro station (near Exit C6). In room internet sufficient for browsing but not skype.
• GIL (8/5): DISCREET PLACE, RED LIGHT DISTRICT - THE PLACE IS A FIND, FOR GUYS TRAVELLING TOGETHER OR ALONE. NO FRILLS BUT GOOD ROOM, GOOD BREAKFAST, GREAT LOCATION AND EXCELLENT STAFF. EASY TO EVERYWHERE IN A MODERN ACCESS AREA. EVEN THE UNDERGROUND WALK IS RELAXING. 24 HOUR ACTIVITY.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Functional, you get what you pay for. - Functional, you get what you pay for. Nothing more, nothing less.
• Arkelia (6/5): Not what I saw in my research - This hotel was okay. It definitely was not close to the Saitama Super Arena which was the main reason for the stay. We could not control the temperature in the room and the air unit was only blowing out hot air. We asked for the temp to be lowered and was provided a fan. The tub had a slow drain which made taking a shower less bearable. The bed was comfortable though. The breakfast included in the rate was decent. The surrounding neighborhood was sketchy. There were a lot of what appeared to be gentleman clubs. It felt as if this was some type of red light district. Although it seemed like we were located away from the center of Tokyo, there was a subway station a block a way from the hotel in walking distance. The hotel wasn't truly unbearable but definitely not what was pictured or described on hotels.com or trip adviser.
• Hoi Fai (8/5): - The hotel was location a few blocks away from a major train station where you could catch both JR and Tokyo metro trains, extremely convenience. We arrived early and left our luggage there during the day. When we checked in later in the day, we were presently surprised that our luggage were already in our room. While the staffs spoke little English, they were extremely helpful and polite. The only downside was the lack of wireless internet connection. It did have wired connection.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Close to JR station which is the only good thing. Room is small but clean.
• Roni (8/5): Great location! Friendly staff. - From the time we got there the staff was very friendly. We ate breakfast there every morning. When we would get back from are running around our room was always clean. It was in a great location, just steps away from the metro system, shopping and lots of places to eat. We asked for a non-smoking room and that's what we got. The hotel never smelled of smoke. We had a great stay.
• Scott (4/5): Not so great - Roominess- 3 Shower is somewhat cramped, room isn’t the biggest Internet connectivity- 2 No wireless, wired only goes 0.78 Mbps Location- 3 Tucked away in a nondescript neighborhood near station Close to a station entrance, but the station is Ikebukuro and it’s still a confusing and long walk to the ticket gates Newness- 3 Tub is like this olive green that I’ve only seen in my grandparents place Overall old looking design, but nothing stained or falling apart. Except the door doesn’t close shut, which is quite dangerous. Temperature controls- 2 No way to adjust heat and the room is too hot, have to open windows Laundry- 2 They won’t do underwear or socks they said because they’re afraid of losing them, but they have same day laundry.
• mich (6/5): Close to subway exit, opposite 0101 - Stayed here for 5 nights for a leisure shopping trip. Hotel is just 30s away from Ikebukuro exit C6 however the exit is very far away from Ikebukuro JR lines...at least 10mins walk from the center of subway to the exit, walk to east of Ikebukuro is about 15mins too..i realise this happens to many stations..so i would say better pick one closer to the main exits. The overall stay was okay, staff are helpful but hardly speaks english..only one guy speaks proper english and he is only on duty in the morning to noon. We booked a non-smoking room but they gave us a smelly smoking room, we requested a room change and it was much better (besides it is still a smoking room but with less smell). The room is clean, provides necessities (slippers, shower gel, shampoo, shaver, toothbrush, hair dryer etc). My stay was during the cherry blossom season so the price is very high (personally think the quality of the hotel doesnt worth the price), but it was our only choice. If I happen to come again during a non-peak season, I would pick a hotel in Shinjuku instead. Overall experience is okay.
• Mark (8/5): Clean hotel with good transport links and shopping - This hotel is next to the train station and has lots of restaurants and shops nearby. It is also really convenient for the airport bus and tax-free shopping!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place, reasonable price - Clean, near to metro station exit, convenience store nearby, staffs are nice, a bit old but condition is still good.
• HannahL (6/5): Good location, spacious room, a little outdated - The hotel is in a good location - right next to Ikebukuro station (which has JR and multiple subway connections). The room was spacious (especially by Japanese standards). The room was a little outdated (especially the bathroom) when compared with the overall style of the hotel, but clean and comfortable. There is no wifi which was a problem for us.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great hotel in a convenient location - Stayed at Hotel Strix this past week with my family. Overall, I thought it was a very pleasant experience. The staff barely speak English but a couple speak fluent Mandarin. Facilities and rooms were very clean and comfortable. Japanese-style breakfast was also delicious - will definitely come back in the future while visiting Tokyo!
• Ezra (8/5): Spacious room and convenient location - Spacious by Japanese standards and for the price. Location is convenient as it's just outside one of the subway tunnels. So long as you remember the tunnel number, you'll be fine finding your way back. 7-11 and restaurants are just around the corner. My only gripe would be it's not a good place to stay during winter if you're from a tropical country. The rooms were cold as the walls were not insulated (earthquake-proof non-concrete walls). So the room felt really cold. Note: There are no heaters in the room. Breakfast was sufficient though no buffet spread just a set menu choice (western/japanese)
• Verified traveler (4/5): Not so great hotel - Hotel was clean, rooms surprisingly roomy for Japan, but walls were very thin and hallways were very noisy. The vending machine located in hallway, just outside my room, seemed to be a main gathering place at all hours of the night, as was the all night restaurant/bar across the street. Was awoken at least once, usually several times, every night of my stay. Hotel was very basic with very few amenities and breakfast provided was mostly inedible. Overall: hotel was OK but would not recommend it to anyone.
• Jimbo (8/5): Good Quality Hotel and Convienient to Ikebukuro Station - The room was very clean, and although a bit small by US standards, in line with our expectations. Wall sockets for laptops, recharging cellphones, etc were a bit scarce...but I found a powerstrip hidden under the desk. The room also came with free internet. The Hotel Strix is located about 3-4 block from the Ikebukero station, so it was very convienient for the Tokyo area day trips we made. However, the station is very large with multiple exits, so you'll need to pay close attention to the station signage to find the West exit. Best to have an area map with you as you navigate the 3-4 block to the Hotel as it is tucked behind a few other buildings. We would definatety stay there again.
