Hotel Star Plaza Ikebukuro

The area is good except late at night, you will get approached by girls holding signs or guys with earpieces. The staff is very strict about enforcing hotel rules. The room is very good and has everything you need.

Breakfast & &ervice

While I may rate this hotel well, this room space is definitely not for those who mind small rooms/very enclosed areas. Personally myself i had accidents just moving around my stuffs to pack up on the last few days and people need to note of the sharp corners of some rooms. Otherwise, its just a decent stay for single travelers.

location to station

Super close to Ikebukuro Station, definitely an older property but it’s well maintain, spacious and comfortable

Easy to find. Did what we needed it for. Could have done with a set of draws but was fine

Very close to Ikebukuro station. Exit C6 is the closest from underground.

Great 13 nights! Affordable, close to shopping, ikebukuro station and all amenities...will return next year!

An old hotel, located in a busy nightlife area in Ikebukuro. Rooms are small, but it has everything you need and is clean and comfortable. The small breakfast provided was a welcome addition. Close to the station too.

Nice place to stay for a short time

Nice cheap room. You get the basic amenities and a free breakfast too. Not much to complain about, however, there are definitely better hotels out there. But for the price, this is an amazing location even if it is in a seedier area with some less reputable businesses nearby.

The immediate neighborhood is rather sketchy.

The hotel reception is available till late, which is convenient for us as our flight reached Haneda at 10:30pm

first of all, this place is very affordable, the staff is very friendly, and it is very conveniently close to ikebukuro’s train station. but in the future i would want to book one more price point higher than this. now for the stuff i wish someone had told me just so i knew what to expect from a western background. this is a japanese business hotel, which means it’s meant for quick and cheap accommodations. size: it is cramped. the room literally only has room for a bed, a suitcase, and a thin desk. the bathroom literally only has room for a toilet sink and a *short* shower space. i’m not very tall and i still had to try not to hit my head on the ceiling. in general, expect to have to squeeze and shuffle by your stuff and your partner. cleanliness and condition: i’m not sure if the standards of cleanliness are just different in japan, but it was discomforting. the room was crazy dusty. lamps, walls, ceilings, anything not in immediate reach of the sweet old cleaning ladies, had piles of dust. in some cases a few millimeters worth of build up. balls of dust all over the walls and ceiling. we ended up wiping everything down ourselves. the bathroom, while generally clean, had a little mold in the corners of the rooms, and the toilet had some hidden spots of dark build up too. there were parts where the carpet didn’t even fully reach the wall. location: extremely convenient. but there are a lot of girl bars around, making it feel a little sketchy

Lovely staff, very attentive and clean throughout. Location handy for Ikebukuro station but a bit hard to find.

Location is good, near ikebukuro station. Rooms are comfortable to, the free breakfast is toast, salad, coffe and a choice of yoghurts. It's good to get you started for your day. I liked my stay here.

The decoration of the room is a bit old, but it was comfort enough for me to stayed for two nights. The location is great, many restaurants and stores nearby.

for me, 3 conditions to choose hotel: 1) down town 2) close to JR (5 mins walk) 3) competitive price this hotel basically fulfill all and I think it’s good

Very disappointing that some of the regular hotel amenities are not supplied by this hotel like cotton buds, disposable razor and lack of power outlets. The friendliness of the staff is the only consolation that we got. The room is so small that we cannot move around. The room refrigerator is not working well that ice cream placed inside melts very fast. It doesn't have any control to boost the coolness inside the ref. Over-all, this hotel sucks.

Room is bigger than I expected! The room was opposite the elevator but no noise at all. The front desk staffs were really nice. The hotel quite old but with price, location and cleanliness, this place is one of great option. I'd like to stay here again if I come back :)
