Location: Ikebukuro ended up being a very good choice, just one ride to all centric locations and the district itself has endless options. The room: This is definitely perfect for a family stay. Spacious, the kitchen has everything you need. The hotel also provided toaster (subject to availability) And very clean. Facilities: The laundromat was very useful, I know I’m asking too much but a gym would be amazing:) Staff: They were helpful everytime we had a question. And they all speak English very well.

Love the room, fresh sheet, clean toilet, functional kitchen and a common area for gathering. However it’s quite distance to train station. And the journey between train station and our room pass through “entertainment area”, a bit uncomfortable with young children. Otherwise all is good!

Good to allow family together and well equipped . But the overall size is smaller than pictures suggested. Lack of normal power point in one bedroom is problematic.. lobby small and crowded lobby toilet could be cleaner. Good for family but maybe not so value for money

It was a pleasant stay and staff were all very helpful. However for the price paid, daily housekeeping to make the beds and vacuum would be appreciated. Also you might want to add a side table in the bedroom.

Not alot of free space for luggage. It was JUST enough.

Love the showers and bathrooms at this hotel - clean bathrooms with strong water pressure! The two bedroom suite has two bathrooms which helps alot with bigger groups! We were two families of 4, with 4 young kids/toddlers and this place worked out great! Kids loved to have breakfast daily on the couch together! Asked for a crib for my infant and he was able to stand and practice his legs in there as there was no crawling space other than the bed.

Everything was very nice, but there was construction going on right across the street so it was noisier than we had hoped it would be.

The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The room was comfortable.

No parking or pool. But that was expected due to the pricing. Also pillows weren’t that great.

Friendly staff and no issues with the hotel or amenities.

Location is okay. A good aspect is that it's in a fairly quiet area about 10 mins walk to the station. It's on the western side - I think most travellers would prefer the east side where there are more large shops and easier access to sunshine city and animate. But we didn't mind it, I think this property is generally nicer than the ones on the eastern side at comparable prices.

Staff were really helpful and nice. English communication was very good. Facilities like the washing machine and guest lounge were very appreciated, while little touches like free umbrellas, goodies, and luggage delivery were very useful.

The pillows were soft and thin.

Repeated stay in Mimaru Hotel. The location is ideal and walking distance to the train station. The kids love the bunk bed the most! Thank you!

Could use more conveniences like shelves or hanging hooks.

Nice for families

None, i enjoy every single bits and corners of this place.

I stayed in a room for 5-6 people. I got a room that has 2 bedrooms and a living space. The location, the room, the facilities..all are to exceptional standard. Nothing beats Japan standard on service.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was exactly as described and looked like the pictures Great tub and water pressure for shower. The in house washers and dryers were great as well - they have auto added soap and normally I can't do those because of smell sensitivity but this soap was unscented and didn't bother me.

Lobby area is a bit small.

Has a kitchenette and dining table with separate toilet from the bathrooms

Too far from other main areas of attraction eg Ginza.

Excellent location close to lots of food and shopping options within the area. One stop from Shinjuku. Great for kids because of the bunk bed configuration so there was plenty of room for four (2 adults 2 children).

MIMARU Ikebukuro is a fantastic option for families! It’s an easy 8-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station – just make sure to exit from the west side. Convenience is key here, with a Family Mart just 1 minute away and a 7-Eleven 3 minutes away. A highlight for us was a nearby bento shop called Kitchen Origin. The food was amazing, with delicious takeaway bento boxes starting at around AU$5. Our kids loved it so much that we ate from there almost every day. We stayed in a 2-bedroom apartment, which was perfect for a family with young children. It came equipped with a washing machine (a huge plus!), a microwave, fridge, and electric stove, so cooking meals in the apartment was easy if you wanted to. The second bathroom even had a bathtub, which was great for the little ones. The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained. Overall, it was a wonderful and convenient stay!
