ROOM Our rooms weren't as tiny as how most people say, but maybe this was because we had 2 twin rooms. I did also read previously the Twin rooms are the biggest but also very limited and difficult to get your hands on. Definitely room to store luggage and move around in. There isnt much too outstanding but a very... More

If you plan to stay in the Ikebukuro area of Tokyo, this is probably the best and most central choice. The hotel is located just around the corner from the Ikebukuro train station, which is the hub of your public transport needs. There are many stores, including several large department stores and lots of eateries in the immediate vicinity. I... More

Great location near the Ikebukuro train station. 5min to two big dep.stores. The Hotel is very nice, breakfast in many styles for extra charge but so good. I had breakfast in the hotel every second morning, good cafe´s around the corner. The Hotell has 8 restaurants and you can find a lot more just walkin a few minutes north.

We stayed in two different rooms during our stay in Tokyo, a superior and a basic. Both rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious enough, but the superior room does have nice amenities and a considerable amount more room (and extra pillows, haha). The staff at this hotel were so gracious and helpful we felt spoiled! Staff members were well spoken... More

I liked staying at the Hotel Metropolitan. What I liked the most is the location and customer service. The location is great. It is close to the train station with three metro lines; so that getting to most parts of Tokyo from this hotel is very easy. It is also close to shopping since the Seibu and Tobu department stores.... More

The Metropolitan is a 4 star hotel It has a Good Gym with very efficient young staff ( a good... More

We stayed 3 nights here recently and the location of the hotel is great, being conveniently located near Ikebukuro train station. Lots of shopping and restaurants in this area and you will be spoiled for choice. We got the smaller rooms but it was still manageable by Tokyo standards. Although we requested for non-smoking rooms, you still get the stale... More

Our room at the Metropolitan was comfortable and spacious (by Japanese standards). The room had also been recently renovated. The staff members are English-speaking, courteous and competent. We enjoyed our two nights here. The hotel is located just two blocks south of Ikebukuro Station which is less than 20 minutes by subway/train from Tokyo JR Station. There are plenty of... More
