Sotetsu - accommodation in Ikebukuro

Short walk from planes arriving at Terminal 3, check-in quick, with kiosks and hotel personnel standing close by if you are having difficulties. Excellent cloakroom to store luggage before check-in or after check-out, plenty of shopping and dining options nearby and if you have a 3am craving there is a Lawsons steps away from the entrance, or if you're okay to walk a couple hundred meters a 24/7 Yoshinoya is within Terminal 3. Cheese on your beef bowl - genius! Have a stack of luggage carts to make your life easier. Not exactly the best place to be if you're thinking of spending those last few days in Tokyo - the commute to big stations like Shibuya and Tokyo Station is a challenge, with Yokohama a lot quicker to get to, but the perfect place to wind down or jump-start your trip, and in the case of winding-down, area offers an abundance of last-minute souvenir options so that your luggage weighs exactly 23kilos per bag for the trip home. :)

close to everything.

Really convenient as the hotel is across the street from Nishi Shinjuku Chome on the Toei line - a lot of other hotels are a bit of a hike from subway stops. Small rooms which are expected in Tokyo - pretty decent public bath - the coin operated laundry needs a bit of an upgrade - the dryers take multiple hours to dry clothes.
