My stay at The B Ikebukuro was quite satisfying, especially with its prime location near the train station and easy access to various neighborhoods. The room was compact but well-equipped, though it did feel a bit cramped for my family. Overall, it was a great base for exploring Tokyo, despite some minor inconveniences.

During my recent stay at The B Ikebukuro, I found the location to be perfect—only a few minutes from Ikebukuro Station and surrounded by shops. While the rooms were small, they were clean and designed with comfort in mind. However, I did experience issues with the centralized air conditioning in my room that made it a bit cold at night, impacting my overall comfort. The staff was generally helpful, but I felt there could have been a bit more friendliness during my interactions.

The rooms are indeed small, yet very functional and comfortable, with a modern design. I particularly appreciated the plentiful charging points. However, the centralized air conditioning made my room uncomfortably cold at times, which I found distracting while trying to sleep.

Overall, the staff was accommodating and spoke English well, which made communication easy. I had a particularly positive experience with one staff member who assisted me in hailing a cab in the rain, going above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of.

I had a decent stay at The B Ikebukuro, with a great location close to the JR station and friendly staff. The room was a bit cramped, which is typical for Tokyo, but clean and had all the essential amenities. Unfortunately, I experienced some noise from neighboring guests, which affected my sleep quality. Breakfast had a good variety but leaned more toward Eastern options.

My stay at The B Ikebukuro was a mixed bag. The location can't be beat—just a short walk to the Ikebukuro station, making it super convenient for exploring Tokyo. However, the room was tiny, and I found the internet painfully slow. On the upside, the staff were friendly, and I enjoyed the breakfast offerings, even if it wasn't the most exciting.

The room I stayed in was really compact, which made moving around a bit of a challenge. It had the essentials, though, like a small fridge and a safe. If I had known the bed setup would be like it was pushed against the wall, I would’ve opted for two singles instead of a queen. Overall, the room was fine for sleeping, but not much else.

The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. Even when I couldn't check in due to some ongoing inspections, they took care of my bags and still greeted me warmly. They provided me with a heater when the air conditioning was too cold, though I wish they could've fixed the air issue more effectively.
