Hotel Wing International Ikebukuro — Hotel in Tokyo

I have been to a big city in Asia before, so I expected a small room. I wasn't disappointed. It is small indeed, but you get everything you need tucked in such a tiny room. Everything was clean (I didn't expect less), you get fresh towels everyday, toiletries (which can be supplemented from the reception area as well: from skin moisturizer, till hair brush and ear plugs), and clean sheets. If you consider that you don't need the daily cleaning, they give you an eco card and you get a drink for it. So, small room, with a few hangers for clothes, a small bed (which was a lil tough for 2 people who usually sleep in a 180/200 cm bed), TV, fridge, AC (on which you can set only the temperature, not if the air is hot or cold). The bathroom was as small, but with a bathtub (which I loved) and all the stuff you might need in it. The staff was beyond polite. I read some of the previous reviews and I must say they did hire people who speak some English. It wasn't perfect, but they understood what I meant and they go beyond themselves to help you with anything you might need. I respect their way of treating their guests very much. Now remember this, the check in is at 16:00 (so take it into consideration, because we were lucky our room was ready at 12:00, coming from a 24 hour travel) and check out is at 10:00. Odd hours, but you must respect as timing is very important to them. I reserved the room with breakfast included and again, the time is from 7:30-9:00 (but actually 8:30), to me, it was so early I actually regret paying for it. If you're a morning person it's worth it, otherwise...you have plenty of places to buy food from (there's a 7 eleven right at the back of the hotel). Wifi was good, no complaints. Positioned at about 10 minutes walking from Ikebukuro Station (from which you can take any transportation), I say that is very convenient. Lots of small family restaurants near, where you can enjoy local food and drinks. All in all, I liked this hotel and if I am ever back in Tokyo, I'd definitely come back here or recommend it...

Stayed a week at this hotel. Any longer will cause claustrophobia. The rooms are very small and barely enough space for two adults. Once your suitcases are opened, you will have a hard time moving around in the room. There are no storage space to place your items either. The bathroom cannot have more than a person in it. The toilet is very close to the door too. One will bump your head onto the bathroom door each time using the toilet. The sink is ontop of the bathtub. When you exit the bathtubs, you will have to cautious not kicking it with your toes. The bathtub’s height is very high too. A petite or a senior person will have a hard time getting in and out. The television has limited channels. For more television channel selection , one needs to pay a fee, and this fee is only good for 24 hours. The hotel lobby is on the basement, so you will have to drag your luggage down two flight of stairs. There is an elevator you can use, but you must notify the front desk first. This elevator is at the side of the alley and you must enter through the restaurant. If the restaurant is close or cleaning, you are out of luck. The hotel does offer free miso soups, water, sports drink, coffee and free amenities. However, some amenities are limited to Japanese speakers only. If you need directions to places, do not ask the two female clerks at the lobby front desk. They will misguide you to places and send you off on a wild goose chase. Wait until the two younger male clerks are there and ask. They are very knowledgeable of places you need to go. Sadly, these two clerks only works after 6 pm. If you would like to experience a slightly larger than a capsule room, this is the place to be. Otherwise, pay a little more and have a...
