Eisei Stay

A very pleasant place to stay, with a Family Mart right across, a hospital behind, and <10" from Ikebukuro Station, malls, and Much more. Very nice facilities, Excellent water pressure and temperature. My only issues were I dont think the room we had was swept in a while as under the beds were a bit dusty. And our door lock battery died one night, so we were locked out for about an hour. But when we finally reached management, they let us wait on an adjacent room while someone came to replace the batteries, they even insisted I be there to watch the them change it. Overall would absolutely stay here, or their new property if ever staying in Ikebukuro. Thank you Eisei Stay!

Only real complaint I would have is that the building is in a somewhat sketchy area, but I never ran into anyone suspicious or anything. The curtains were closed the whole time, though, because we were on the first floor and the window faced directly into the street. Check in and check out was simple, it was all done through the tablet at the front desk area and English was an option. We get a passcode instead of a key so that's one less problem to worry about. The main room had a pretty good amount of space for laying your suitcases down to pack up. The shelf space on the main table and behind the beds were enough to hold things we would use throughout our stay (phone charging, change of clothes, skincare products, etc). The lights in the main room are also dimmable, something that helped in the mornings if someone was still asleep, but others want to get ready. The best part about Eisei stay was how close it was to the nearest convenience store. At the end of our busy day, we could relax and buy a simple breakfast for the next day at the Family Mart right across the street. It also helped to make the place feel safer. It's hard to find hotels that have 3 separate beds in a single room; it's an awkward number to have. To get exactly what we wanted along with all the other positives I mentioned before (and for a reasonable price), I really feel like we got lucky finding this place.

Clean and spacious with all amenities like kitchen, fridge with freezer compartment, microwave, and even a washer/dryer! Convieniently located near Ikebukuro station.

Ok place. Should be advertised up front that it is not staffed. Kinda expensive to not have any staff. Basic room. Washing machine nice amenity. Also can’t hold luggage there for day. It’s great to explore seedy part of Tokyo but not place for family.
