    Average 30min train from Ikebukuro Sta. No public bath.

    Near to Wakoahi Sta. 3 mins walk. No difficulty if you bring heavy luggages as an elevator/lift are available There's Uniqlo in the same building. Seiyu Supermarket within 5 min walk, if you need something. Their bento are cheap & delicious. Friendly front desk officer, they always greet guests with smile. Money changer's machine at hotel front desk. Free coffee from coffee machine for coffee lover (but we didn't try it). 2 coin washing machine, with usage status can be seen on TV in the room. Daily housekeeping. Friendly housekeeper who will help you if you need more clothes hanger. Comfortable bed, clean bedsheet & bedcover. Bed size is big enough than other hotel. The bathroom is small as usual in Japan, but clean. The hotel allowed us to keep luggage there because we had another reservation. Overall we're satisfied to stay at Wakoshi Tobu Hotel.

    The mattress was a bit hard for me but I still could sleep well during my short stay (4 days)

    The room was perfect for my stay in Tokyo. It's really clean and quiet even with the train station close to the hotel. The staff was really nice and available for any questions. Easy to check-in and check-out. Great breakfast at the 3rd floor of the building. The location is good, you can access to the famous suburbs easily by train : 15mn to Ikebukuro, 25-30mn to Shinjuku/Harajuku/Shibuya, 30-35mn to Ueno. A really good quality/price ratio.

    The size of the room was quite small for two people with a baby. The luggage could go under the bed but it was kind of hard to cram things out of larger luggage pieces especially if you have several. Other than that a very pleasant stay.

    The hotel staff was really friendly, the rooms very clean with English explanations on most items. The breakfast was also very delicious. Although a bit off from the Tokyo center, the hotel is conviniently located right above a subway station. Getting to Tokyos interesting districts takes between 30-70 minutes.

    There is only 1 elevator to enter and leave the building, would benefit greatly from stairs.

    Staff was kind and helpful, amenities were good including coin laundry that could be paid for by suica.

    I did not enjoy the breakfast too much so I asked to cancel the breakfast but they did not allow it. The breakfast was mediocre - you had to go early if you wanted all the options for the food as the food was a bit more first come first serve.

    The location was amazing as it is right above the station. It was also very clean. Great price for what you get too.

    I travelled around the world quite often. Tobu Hotel is one of the best hotel I have ever stayed during my vacation. The staff were great and really committed to their works. You can access to supermarket, Uniqlo shop , restaurants and train station under one roof.

    All I can say is that you need to understand the noise that comes with being located next to a station. Especially do not come during voting election campaign days because those people will be screaming through a megaphone very early in the morning until evening and being on the higher floors will not reduce the noise pollution by much. Bring ear plugs if you plan on sleeping well.

    Good hotel, it's located on the 4th floor of the Equia Premie building so for those confused at first when leaving the station and following the signs, you need to use the elevator. Equia Premie has a few nice places to do some shopping and eat. You could go to the 2nd floor through the very same elevator connected to the Tobu hotel and go shopping inside uniqlo and immediately get back to drop it off for example. There is a nice bakery on the ground floor if you miss eating bread, it probably gets the craving done. The coin laundry as well as the vending machines inside the hotels can all be paid with IC cards so if you made the good decision to buy a suica/pasmo etc. you do not need to bring 100 yen coins, big plus as this is absolutely not the standard in most hotelsI have been in so far. Be sure to bring a power socket converter though, this hotel only has japan power outlets. Wifi speeds are pretty decent. I capped at around 90Mbps. The area itself isn't that exciting for most people, but Wakoshi is fairly well connected and you could get back to Ikebukuro in about 20-30 minutes, so if you plan to stick around that part of Tokyo this hotel isn't a bad option at all. Small warning to those interested to see the shibazakura in Chichibu also located in Saitama: you will in fact be told to go through Ikebukuro to get there despite both Chichibu and Wako being both in Saitama prefecture.

    What I didn't like is something minimal, but I wished we were able to open the windows in our room for ventilation. When we got home, it would be so hot, and I didn't feel it right to leave the AC on the whole day. Another small thing was that even though the hotel had washers/dryers, there were only 2 so we had to wait sometimes for 1-2 hours for somebody's clothes to finish so we could put in ours. People wouldn't come right away, so we'd have to wait an extra 20 minutes for them to pick up their clothes.

    I like that the train station was just underneath us so it wasn't a long walk once we got home or when we were going out. Even though the station was underneath us, it was amazingly quiet and peaceful. I also really enjoyed the breakfast from the cafe that came with the hotel.

    It was a bit too far from Tokyo city.

    although the hotel was a bit far from Tokyo it was very easy to find with lots of train and bus links. The room was clean and very comfortable and the staff were super welcoming.

    Our room (with queen bed) for two was a bit tiny for travelers with extra luggages. I should've booked the room for twin sharing instead which looked bigger on photos.

    Convenient location with restaurants, Uniqlo, and a train station right below it. We loved how mindful each room was made. They even cleaned rooms and replaced towels everyday (without us requesting). Though we didn't include breakfast in our booking since we opted to eat out daily, the free coffee machine at the lobby, and available microwaves, folding tables, and vending machines per floor were also a plus.
