Hotel Resol Ikebukuro

Hotel location was perfect, in a relatively quiet side street and less than 10 mins on foot from Ikebukuro station. Yes, there is a konbini nearby (on the corner less than 2 mins from the hotel) and several others within walking distance. However, in saying that you are within walking distance of many very good and affordable restaurants and cafes. Also in Minami park nearby there is farm to table cafe. I only had breakfast in the hotel restaurant. It was buffet style with both Japanese and western breakfast options. There was a good selection on offer, however breakfast is only available until 09:30hrs so get there early. The room was small but you had enough room to open a medium size suitcase and still be able to walk around it. Loved the fact that pyjamas were provided and what amenities you couldn't find in the room, were available in reception to stock up on. Apart from a kettle, there was also a mini fridge in the room, which was a godsend on hot days. Staff were friendly and spoke English. Which I'm always grateful for. Would I stay here again, most definitely, I already did!

The location was easily accesible and near the Ikebukuro station and by that the Yamanote line. Our twin room was spacious for the two of us and our luggage. New towels and water bottles were delivered every day even though our stay was under four days so our room wasn’t cleaned (which was fine for us).

Great location with Ikebukuro station less than 10 minutes walk away plus Higashi-Ikebukuro station almost across the road. Super close to Sunshine City for shopping and the aquarium and plenty of convenience stores moments away. My room was very clean and neat and big enough for a solo traveller, the toiletries and tea/coffee facilities in the room were very good and the self serve amenities station at the front desk was a bonus. Breakfast was good, plenty of variety and freshly made. The breakfast area wasn’t the biggest space, however, I never had to wait for a spot to sit and it was kept clean by the staff. Reception staff were very friendly and polite and while they spoke only a little English and I speak very little Japanese we were able to communicate and there was always a friendly greeting from them whenever I walked through the lobby. Also really loved that they change the towels daily but don’t service the room daily, only every four days of your stay - I can make my own bed and don’t see having room service for it each day necessary. Overall, I was really happy with my stay and would definitely look to stay again next time I visit Tokyo

Cozy room, nice free toiletries. I liked the pyjamas provided everyday. Housekeeping only on every 4th day but it was perfectly fine as the room was too tiny to be made up everyday. Fresh towels n pyjamas were left outside the door early morning :)

Overall ,I enjoyed my stay there..I actually like the economical way of exchanging the towels.I do not like people to come into my room.Sheets are clean n doesn't have the smell.Staff are helpful though they cannot speak much in English.Love the amenities-good quality soap,conditioner n hand/face wash.Location quite convenient n not so crowded.Value for money.Wifi is good n will cone to stay again.
