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.
There was black mold on the shower tile. Very unhealthy and could make people sick. Room 607.

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.

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.

Not clean enough
Hotels in Japan usually have air clear machines but they haven’t so smell of smoke.
But the location is convenient.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
