Good location. Clean and friendly staff
ALEJANDRO, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Breakfast buffet was a little limited in options, especially if you're used to Western-style breakfast. Room was very spacious compared to rooms at other hotels in our budget, with lots of flat table space. Staff was very nice. Directly across a 7/11 and a Denny's.

I had a great time here. A lot of shops near by food as well. A great location.
Jesus, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I have been staying at The B Ikebukuro for the last 15 years whenever I go to Tokyo. Ikebukuro East side is much more quite than the west side and way less hectic than Shinjuku. This hotel is very close to the station with easy access to both JR and Metro.
Erik Francis, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

The location was great, close to the train station, restaurants and shopping. They were very kind to hold our bags after check out until our flight time. Beds were clean and comfortable, the shower was very relaxing with interesting water features. There room had some scratched furniture and the lobby drinking water system was broken, these could be easily fixed and it could give a better impression to guests. A pizza restaurant was located on the second, even though it was expensive, it was very convenient after a long day of walking. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
Andrea, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It's basically perfect. The staff was super communicative and professional at check-in. I would definitely return.

Budget hotel

Friendly staff, luggage storage is available. Rooms are tiny according to the price. Convenient to go anywhere, 4 minutes walk to subway or JR line.
Yuen Wah Agnes, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Extremely practical. Met all my needs. The location is outstanding, minutes from one of the main railway stations, Ikebukuro. I could even run every morning from this location, just by crossing the nearby bridge. I thoroughly recommend breakfast, especially the smoothy. There are plenty of eateries nearby. There’s a super local place opposite.

The B has been my main stay for the past 12 years. It has great access to food and shopping and easy transport by train or subway. And the area is more quiet than other touristy spots like Shinjuku and Ueno.
