It’s so lucky for me to stay at The B Hotel for my birthday trip. Everything is managed well with cleanliness and tidiness. Very comfortable room for resting and it is always fun to see my dolls are lined up in order whenever there are cleaning of my bed. Thanks, the secret housekeeper~

I have been staying at The B Ikebukuro for the last 15 years whenever I go to Tokyo. Ikebukuro East side is much more quite than the west side and way less hectic than Shinjuku. This hotel is very close to the station with easy access to both JR and Metro.

Good and bad
The location is good, staff is nice and helpful, but room doesn't block the outside noise, the bed is hard as a rock and many lightbulbs in the room were burned out.

Extremely practical. Met all my needs. The location is outstanding, minutes from one of the main railway stations, Ikebukuro. I could even run every morning from this location, just by crossing the nearby bridge. I thoroughly recommend breakfast, especially the smoothy. There are plenty of eateries nearby. There’s a super local place opposite.

The B has been my main stay for the past 12 years. It has great access to food and shopping and easy transport by train or subway. And the area is more quiet than other touristy spots like Shinjuku and Ueno.
