Booked the small double room as i recall there wasn't many room choices left when I booked. Bed was unfortunately too small even for us even as Asians. Room was also very compact at 17sqm so we barely had enough space to manoeuvre and put our luggage. but that's quite a normal Japan standard. So take note to try to book a bigger room size if you can.

Hotel is abit dated was still well maintained and clean. AC is adjustable and powerful enough. Water pressure was also good. it's very close to the ikebukuro station where there are a couple of train lines. There is also family mart/7 Eleven close by for you to get some snacks/ supper/breakfast. There are also quite a lot of eateries within walking distance. It's also just across from shopping malls lumine/tobu and also Harbs, which seems very popular, for some cakes and tea/coffee.

Another awesome point is that they have the airport bus to Haneda/Narita right at their door step which is super convenient especially after you have many bags of shopping. Additionally, if you plan to go to gotemba premium outlets, highway bus has a pickup/dropoff at the hotel (same location as the airport bus). Only thing is that there aren't any visible signs about this.

There is self service coin laundry avail- 5 machines in total and you get to see the status via the TV in your room. But don't get your hopes high as 5 machines is insufficient for the number of guests. I had to stand in line in front of the machine at abt 11pm for 45min for the machine to finish the cycle. And several other machines also had people queuing and many people were coming in with their laundry and realising that they were probably not able to have it washed that night and left. Another annoying thing is when selfish people do not come to collect their laundry on time. the machine is password locked no one else can use it until the person comes back to collect it. So in all I had to physically wait for 1hr before I could use the machine. And only collected my laundry at 2am. Anyway if there are people waiting to use the machine most don't add on time on the dryer and have to leave with wet clothes. So unless u have time to wait in the middle of the night to wash your clothes and also to hang them to dry in your room, don't get your hopes high.

The hotel provides 2 bottles of water per day and they have the full amenities like shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, toothbrush, razor, comb and even skincare! All in all still alright to stay here mainly for the convenience to the train station and limousine bus.
