Sakura Hotel Ikebukuro - Hostel

Alakerran ravintola auki 24h. Englannintaitoinen henkilökunta. Hotellissa on majoittujien käyttöön pesukoneita ja vaatekuivureita, mikä on suuri helpotus reppurimatkailijalle! Hotellihuoneeseen sisältyvä aamupala sisälsi lähinnä paahtoleipää ja hilloa, sekä misokeittoa, mutta ravintola on hyvä ja lisähinnalla sai ostettua kananmunia ja hedelmiä.

Huoneessa oli pienehkö parivuode, joka oli melkoisen kova nukkuma-alusta. Huone oli suht pieni. Sängyn lisäksi huoneeseen ei paljon muuta mahtunut.

Friendly Staff was friendly and hotel is in good location.

Breakfast food was too basic not enough variety even if it cost more.

You can leave your luggage in the lobby if youre already check out. We leave ours because we are about to climb mt fuji. When we returned, we asked the staff if we could take a bath. And they allowed us. Thanks so much.

We always get lost everytime we go back to our hostel. But when we are about to check out we managed to perfect the direction. Hahaha! Kinda messy because we are in shared dormitory. The other guests from Poland I think is so messy with their things. When we arrived, they blocked the elevator hallway. All their things were scattered. The wash area with mirror is unclean. So messy! Needs yo clean from time to time. The room where we sleep is ok but when we arrived the other guest didnt open the aircon so its sophocating inside the room. Haysss!

As I was a solo traveller and intended to stay in an affordable place where I can just sleep for the nights, Sakura Hotel was exactly what I needed, and more! The hotel had all the basic necessities I needed, including the shared kitchen where I can make my meals. The place was relatively clean for a place that is shared by many, and the cleaner comes to clean the entire place diligently every noon. The reception and the people staying in the hotel are very friendly and warm. It was nice meeting persons from all over the world! The guidelines and rules of the hotel are clearly stated around the building and it was easy to follow. There were also activities that the hotel had that I unfortunately hadn't had the opportunity to take part but thought that it was interesting! The location of the hotel was also very convenient, about 7min walk from exit C6 of Ikebukuro station. I would love to come and stay here again!

Except for the rowdy neighbours in the dorms and random persons around outside of the building, there is nothing much that I did not like about the place!
