Nikko - accommodation in Ikebukuro

It was a really decent sized room and clean! Could put suit case under bed which means it wasn’t cluttering the floor. Spacious bathroom. Has an air con and also a room heater is needed. Bright space. Can request more pillows if needed!

This is a great hotel in a wild and busy part of town that everyone visits. It’s full of life and history. It’s very popular for nightlife for the Japanese and they know how to party. My friend is 80 and I’m 73 and we absolutely loved it. Mornings are a bit of a shock as the streets are littered with the night’s debris. It got cleaned up every morning but it was a surprise to see. We did go out every evening and felt safe but weren’t out after midnight and so felt safe in all the crowds. Again the hotel is very lovely and we had no street noise. Great location but make sure you come out the east exit of the train station because it’s straight down the street to the gorilla head which sits on top of the hotel. Enter to the right of the escalator and find your way to the main access door. You will the take an elevator to the 8 th floor for checkin. I highly recommend the hot pot restaurant on the main floor. They guided us very well on how to cook everything and when. A very good meal. We are foodies and like to eat nutricious foods, especially my Parisian friend. I also recommend you book the night walking tour of this area which is only an hour snd s half long. We don’t typically like tours but we would never have discovered the hidden gems ourselves. So glad we chose this area and our hotel. Enjoy your trip.

It was a great stay with a large room on the highest floor and got 2 free drinks due to my VIP status. Breakfast was excellent and all the servers were working very hard. I liked the lobby decor and outdoor seating area too. It's 3 stations away from tokyo Disneyland. Oh, the public bath was very large! I highly recommend this hotel!
