Flexstay Inn Ekoda

I has places to eat nearby. The train station is a 5 minutes walk, which is nice.

Clean, simple, cheap

Nice room for the price. Around 79$CAD. The only thing is the space for shower is very narrow. But its very nice to have a microwave.

It’s a very old building. I can see that they try to keep it up, but my mini fridge wasn’t working properly. The door to the fridge was crooked. The bathroom mirror has black marks. The air conditioning kept blowing air: it doesn’t seem to be any adjustment. The sink was old and drainage was covered with brown mold or it may be old.

It was a decent hotel for what it's worth.

very clean and organized

Away from all the tourists and in with the Japanese people…. Very nice & comfy.

Amazing staff and just an amazing range of restaraunts around!

If i get to come back to tokyo i will stay here again. Nice and comfy rooms, relitivly close to everything

It was clean and efficient but clearly in need of updates. An older hotel with peeling wallpaper and odd stained counters. But you could tell it was clean. Enough space for one person and not cramped except in the toilet/shower area. Definitely a room for one person. Very kind staff. I would stay again as a solo traveler because it’s efficient and just a bed to sleep. And a great price.

A comfortable stay, with friendly staff. Affordably priced.

You get what you pay for with this type of hotel. The location is good, and from Ekoda station you can get to Ikebukuro quite easily. If you want your room to be cleaned the price is currently 3000 yen each time. For extras such as more towels you have to pay. Nearby are convenience stores, supermarkets and restaurants. During my stay, an earthquake happened and then someone set off the fire-alarm. The night staff were professional, but not many people had any idea what to do. The staff during the daytime are friendly and know some English. However, the staff finish at 6 pm so reach out before if you arrive late.

Whenever I go on a solo Japan trip, I always stay here. It's a decent size for just one person.

Love the neighborhood, love the facility. Great place.

Great location and well-equipped room. Definitely will come back again !

The room is a kind of outdated, but the room is clean and efficient. This property provides no cleaning or maid services if you stay consecutive nights. You have to take dirty towels to the front desk for exchanging to clean one. Also you have to take your trash to the trash room. The room has the electric vacuum which you can clean the floor anytime you need. The room rates were very reasonable and I was happy to stay this property.

Professional and kind staff. Convenience store next door, subway station walking distance. Great stay.

Stuff at the hotel was really helpful in amending last minute change

This was my second reservation with FlexstayInn Ekoda. Despite the Corona virus pandemic, I wasn't disappointed. Service, professionalism and cleanliness were all excellent. Hand disinfectant was always available in the lobby. The on-site laundry room was clean and well lit. FlexstayInn Ekoda is located a five minute walk from Ekoda Ginza (江古田銀座 = shopping street). Lawson's and Family Mart convenience stores are nearby (two or three doors down and across the street respectively), but I would first recommend either the My Basket Ekoda Sakaecho (Aeon) a few doors down or the Maruman Store directly across from Ekoda Station's south exit. My Basket and Maruman offer better supermarket selections and volume pricing compared to the convenience stores. TLDR: buy green tea, Mitsuya cider, umeshu, shochu, prepared meals and anything else at My Basket or Maruman for less. Despite its size, Ekoda has many eating options including Indian and Japanese curry, ramen, bakeries, patissieries, izakayas, etc. All of them within five to 10 minutes walking distance from FlexstayInn Ekoda. Ekoda Station is within 15 minutes walking distance. From Ekoda Station, you are three stops to Ikebukuro Station which opens your rail options considerably. I can highly recommend FlexstayInn Ekoda. If you're looking for accomodation in an urban Tokyo setting without the overly dense atmosphere, Ekoda is a good choice.

For the price I can't complain. Room was small but not unexpected. There is some water damage on the wallpaper around the bath. However the staff were nice, and Ekoda turned out to be a lovely area with easy access to Tokyo city.
