This is my first time traveling in Japan, I have been to two hostels earlier before this hotel, I can say that Daiichi Inn is my favorite and definitely worth the price. Very clean, the room is perfect size, nearby Ikebukuro station which is easy to travel around. Many restaurants and shops. The staffs are really polite and can speak English. You need to tap the keycard in the elevator to go up to the floor. Safety 👍🏻 I will come back to stay here again if I visit Japan next time.

Ikebukuro Central Hotel

Ikebukuro Commercial
Tokyo
|0.31km from city center
Other aspects of the hotel are fine, after all, it is not the kind of luxury hotel suitable for staying for several days, it is more suitable for backpackers. There is a disadvantage that the experience is very poor, that is, the ventilation fan in the room cannot be turned off, the noise is very loud, which greatly affects sleep. Hopefully the hotel can improve.

Hotel Times - Adults Only

Ikebukuro Commercial
Tokyo
|0.32km from city center
This is a couple hotel. It is only for adults when it is scheduled. Because there are a lot of temporary reservations, there is no such thing. The result is quite pleasant. The room is not big (no wardrobe, only three hangers hanging on the wall) But the bathroom is large, wet and dry, and there is a bathtub. Toiletries are all available and of good quality (and condoms and sanitary napkins are provided free of charge), and free drinks and water are provided daily in the refrigerator. No breakfast. There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, as well as large department stores, which are very close to the subway and tram stations. Especially the next (five minutes) metropolitan hotel and the bus to the airport. It feels good and the waiters are very good. The only regret is that I left a thermos in the room when I checked out but no one has contacted me. The picture will not be sent, and some netizens have sent it before.
