Hotel Mystays Higashi-Ikebukuro

Very nice and professional staff. Easy check-in and check-out. The bed was big and comfortable for two. The bathroom was clean for the most part, with heated toilet seat which was a nice touch. Even though they don't change towels and linens daily, you could always bring the used ones to the laundry and ask for a new set free of charge.

The main reason why we booked here was because in the ad they said all rooms had a kitchenette and kitchen facilities. However, we found out this was not the case. I don't know whether it's a problem with the ad or if they decided to modify the equipment in the rooms later. But our room only had a boiler and a microwave, which was a big let down since we had planned to eat at home sometimes which of course was not possible. Also the internet connection in the room was rather poor. Maybe because the router was in the hall rather than inside the room, but it was quite difficult to have internet connection while on the bed.
