Hotel Grand City

breakfast, location

Very conveniently situated close to Ikebukuro Station (about 5 minutes walk), this hotel made a really good base for the exploration of western and northern Tokyo. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast amazing (they provided a variety of western and Japanese dishes with daily changing dishes). The room was cozy, but for this price and location completely acceptable. I guess the hotel mainly targets workers and short stay tourists, which was totally fine for me who does not need a pool or bar etc. Shops, Suncity and a variety of food places are located in spitting distance.

The bed had radio and alarm clock implemented which emitted quite a strong light, disturbing my sleep a little. The bathroom is really sterile and small, but for this price and location acceptable.
