We stayed here for a week. It's a bit out of the way so there are less crowds, but you only have to transfer once to central Tokyo from Ikebukuro, and it is a lot more affordable and we got to do so much more! Beds were super comfy, lots of room and had a lot of amenities available. Staff were really friendly as well and were always willing to help, even providing some advice in English when we needed it. Tokiwadai had a really cozy local vibe and had a lot of good restaurants, convenience stores, chemists, and the train station/bus, all within 5 minute walking distance.
The hotel also has vending machines and coin laundry on the first floor. If you are considering staying here, just go for it! I would love to stay here again the next time I visit Japan.
My only complaint is that everything in the room was smaller than me and my boyfriend are used to. Especially the bed and bathtub/shower. It was extremely cheap though and definitely worth the price, especially since it was in a relatively convenient location! I would definitely book again
Great location out of the craziness of central Tokyo. Close to the train station, restaurants, convenience stores and grocery stores.
