KOKO HOTEL Ikebukuro East(formerly Hotel Wing Ikebukuro）

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The vending machine in the lobby was super convenient for late-night snacks and drinks. The front desk staff were also incredibly kind and helpful, making me feel welcome. Small details like these made my stay comfortable and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!

The room was tiny. Though it had everything that was needed, bathtub, hairdryer, kettle, fabric refresher, toiletries etc... facial cleanser, toner, moisturiser, toothbrush etc ate provided at the basement near the reception... sheets were clean... room was clean... Hot and cold beverage provided at the level lounge area ... guests can chill and consume their food and beverage here. Quite a nice place to chill. 10 to 15 min walk to Ikebukuro Station. Not the most convenient but quite a nice walk if weather is nice. 5 min walk to Sunshine Mall... a nice mall and lovely neighbourhood as well. A few convenient stores near the hotel. It's a good 3-star hotel other than the tiny rooms. Oh and since it's beside the main road, the noise from the traffic can be disturbing for light sleepers.

Overall the hotel was good - it was clean and had everything you need for a stay. It felt a bit small at first, but my sister and I got used it after a few days. Side note: The hotel is about a 10 min walk to one of the many exits, so it’s not particularly close. Depending on which train you need to catch, it might take an extra 5-10 minutes to reach the correct platform. That said, the location is still convenient since most trains stop at Ikebukuro Station. Plus, this station is much easier to navigate than Shibuya, Shinjuku, or Tokyo Station.
