MI-HOTEL IKEBUKURO 池袋, Tokyo

The property sits in a calm, quiet residential neighbourhood, well suited for a peaceful rest after city exploration. Kaname-Cho station (a 9-minute walk) provides access to two metro lines (Y and F) with useful connections to Shibuya (about 40 minutes) and other central areas. Senkawa station is also about 10 minutes on foot and has shops and eateries. A 7-Eleven is within a short stroll, but there is no large supermarket immediately nearby - stock up at station-area shops. Haneda Airport is 27 km away. Several restaurants and a public bath (onsen) are within walking distance, and Ikebukuro Nishi-guchi Park is 2 km away.

The property offers modern, clean apartments that are notably roomy for Tokyo, allowing easy opening of large suitcases in the kitchen/dining area. Units come in configurations including a one-bedroom apartment (separate living room + bedroom) or a studio, each with a private entrance and quiet street view. The bathroom is separated from the toilet, and includes a bath and shower with good hot water pressure - the shower's drying function is useful for laundry. Beds are described as very soft and comfortable; the three-bed layout (two single beds plus a sofa bed) in the apartment allows practical separation for light sleepers. Heating and air conditioning are provided, plus floor heating in the bathroom. The unit is fully equipped with a stovetop, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, and kitchenware, as well as a flat-screen TV and parquet floors.

There is no breakfast service on site. Each apartment has a well-fitted kitchen with a gas stove, microwave, refrigerator, and kettle, making self-catering easy. A convenience store 350 metres away provides basic supplies, while Kaname-Cho and Senkawa station areas (about 10 minutes on foot) have a good selection of restaurants, including Japanese, burger, and other options.

Outdoor space includes a garden and terrace, suitable for relaxation. The property also has a designated seating area for smoking. A public bath (onsen) is within easy walking distance, providing a traditional bathing experience without needing to travel far.

WiFi is available for free in all rooms, with typical speeds around 50 Mb/s. Express self-check-in and check-out are free, with detailed instructions sent before arrival. Luggage can be stored in advance if the room is not yet ready. There is no full reception desk, but the host is responsive via online chat. The building has a lift for access to upper floors, though the lift does not reach all upper levels - guests with heavy luggage may find it challenging. A washing machine is available in the apartment, and an ironing/ trouser press is provided. Safety features include key access, smoke alarms, and a security alarm.
