“Good hotel for price”

Rooms are a little vintage and it’s about 10 mins walk from Ikebukuro train station but the room was clean. Had to book a smoking room since it was the only one available but didn’t smell bad. WiFi is still a little bit slow but manageable. Small tip, since you have to leave the key at the front when you leave, remember how to say your room number in Japanese! Makes it easier for both you and the front. Also the washer/dryer use is extremely cheap (100yen each), so plus on that. All in all great experience for myself.

The Stay Hotel New Star Ikebukuro is located conveniently near Ikebukuro station (5-10 minute walk, depending where you exit). I guess this is what you call the typical business hotel for business travelers. It has most if not all the essential you'll need for the stay. But is not a fancy like some of the big name hotel, but is not bad. The place is old, but they keep it fairly clean (to Japan standard), compare to some motel and hotel. Don't expect a nice view or nice lighting, but is a decent place to stay if you don't want to share rooms. The Miscellaneous The hotel is located in a good location with different various shop, restaurants, and other amenities nearby (I mean it is in Tokyo). They are conveniently walkable. Sunshine City is also a walkable distance as well. The staff seem sincere and try to explain the process to travelers. They mention you should leave the key with them before you leave to explore so they can clean the room when you are out. All in the all, it is not an upscale place, but is a decent place if you are looking for something not super expensive to stay the night.
