DEL style Ikebukuro Higashiguchi by Daiwa Roynet Hotel

This was in such a convenient spot! The rooms were on the smaller side, but it is a business hotel so that’s to be expected. It was a fine fit for the two of us. This place had the BEST staff. We were in a bind because our flight suddenly got cancelled due to Cyclone Alfred in Qld, and we had to organise another night. The front desk staff were so understanding and accommodating, and it helped in a time of heavy stress. Also, just a tip—we found out right at the end, but there’s actually an entrance to Ikebukuro Station right across the road! You just have to go down the stairs of the entertainment building and you’ll find it. 7/11 right downstairs also, with plenty of Family Marts nearby. Lovely brekky at the hotel as well.

superb location, very close to all amenities, Seibu and Tobu Parco big shopping centres, lots of restaurants, plenty of choices. If you are planning to go to Naeba snow resort and travel on SEIBU inter-city bus (like we did) here is an excellent choice! The bus stop and information centre is within 1 minute walking distance. It is also super close to Ikebukuro train station / Seibu / JR / KK line, love this central location! The nearest exit on the google map is 40, but it has lots of stairs, it is easier to go out at any east exit and then look for the AOKI (blue background white print) building then turn into the side street, find 7-11, it is 1st floor of this hotel.

We loved the facilities and the staff's hospitality towards us. The breakfast buffet is a must add on! Good way to start the day

The hotel breakfast was delicious. The location was central to many great dining and shopping options, including a 7-Eleven right next door. It was easy to travel to many Tokyo tourist spots using this hotel as our base.

The hotel is walkable to the train station on the East exit no.38. But if you arrive by train, use exit no.35 because there are escalator and elevator. Plenty of restaurants and shopping stores near by. Seven-eleven is at the 1st floor. The room size fit for 2 ppl and 2 large suitcases. Beds were comfortable.
