Modern APA hotel experience. Clean rooms, lots of quality amenities, all the stuff you need to spend the night. The room was quiet with the ability to store your suitcases under the bed. Ikebukuro is a great place to stay. North of the JR station there's a red light district with a lot of bars, pubs and night entertainment. South of it there's Sunshine city with a lot of arcades and anime shops. The Ikebukuro station gets you pretty much all around Tokyo in 30 minutes, thanks to the Yamanote line and multiple metro lines.

There is only one washing machine and one dryer. Luckily we squeezed in an empty timeslot, but there are a few coin laundry places around. The bed was a bit too soft, but that's honestly nitpicking on my part.

Reasonable price, good location, very good staff.

Overall, APA hotels 1) Do not have individually controlled Heating and cooling. In the winter the rooms are too cold and you need to buy and use a small space heaters to stay warm, 2) Ice is not available in all hotels. In Ikebukuro it is; Shibuya there is no ice. Ikebukuro has ice for 100 yen at the bar. Undersize the elevators; 3) The vending machines do not always have a coffee with cream or a Latte. 3) The elevators are undersized so it usually takes extra time, especially during check out time.

The location was great because it was a 5 minute walk from the West Exit of Ikebukuro station. It was also quite close to a lot of restaurants so coming home late was a not too hectic because you don't have to worry about food. The staff were pretty nice too. I had an issue with my luggage but they did their best to make sure that they aren't releasing luggage to just anyone so good work on security :)

None, it was well worth your money. Can't complain for how cheap it was.

Near Ikebukuro station. Nearest exit are those in West North. However, only stairs. Escalators can be found around West Central and West South exits. Complete necessities - Japanese-style robe, towel, toothbrush/toothpaste, liquid soap/shampoo, razor

In the unit I stayed in, the aircon looked dirty. It had black marks around the openings. Good thing it was autumn so I did not need cooling or warming Also, there was only 1 elevator.

Great location, close to train station and tons of great restaurants/bars around the hotel. Close to the underpass of the train station so you can get to the East side of Ikebukero easily. Staff were really friendly and the room was clean

pillows on the bed were so flat. Only 1 lift too which I think was only a tiny issue as I was on the top floor but mostly fine.

The hospitality of the personal. We had a problem with the room we got, and we are thankful for the way we were treated with this problem.

The brakfast is a mistake: to offer high quality ramen is not a good strategy. In the APA Hotel at Ueno there was a simple japanese style breakfast what is more meaningful and had a reasonable price. Here we missed such an option.

Hotel is located near the station, staff is friendly and prices are quite good compared to other hotels nearby. This is typical standard hotel for Japanese conditions, rooms are rather small, but generally clean and with everything you can need.

Some places in the bathroom were not as clean as on my previous visit.

Good location

The temperature is controlled based on season, at times it got really hot so I wished we could turn on ac for air flow

Great price and location close to the station. Will definitely rebook next time I am in the area.

The bedding could have been more secure - the cover for the comforter in particular easily came undone while sleeping.

Good location close to Ikebukuro station. New hotel, room size small but typical for Tokyo in this prize category, well equipped with large TV screen. Very friendly stuff speaking good English. .

Breakfast choice was very minimal.
