Summary of traveller reviews

Sakura Hotel Ikebukuro in Tokyo offers a wonderful breakfast and excellent service. Guests appreciate the clean rooms and great security. It's a solid choice for travellers wanting to explore Tokyo, with some noting noise from late-night snacking.

Great place to stay for my first few nights in Tokyo while I got familiarized! I had my own private room and bathroom that was clean and the bed was comfortable for a good price! Only a couple minutes walking distance from Ikebukuro station and close to Shinjuku and Shibuya stations! Not overly social, so be aware of that if you’re looking for a place that programs frequent events.

There should be switch off time for the general light in the room. Should be not allowed eating in the bed. The room was extremely noisy because of someone’s lasting snack hour.

The breakfast honestly did it for me, it was wonderful! And the service matched! Great rooms and provided everything I needed with efficiency. And it was out of the way enough to where you could choose a chill day or go into the city
