Hotels near Pasta E Vino Kei

We stayed in this hotel for 2 days recently. We had a very pleasant experience throughout our stay. Initially we booked our room in 2 separate booking, so theoretically we have to check in another room for the 2nd day, but the front staff, a gentleman, is so kind and really took the time to find us a high floor room for the 2 nights so that we need not have the hassle to change room. Thank you so much. Obviously we had a good view looking out to Tokyo Tower. Room is not big but adequate, well lited, including the bathroom. There is convenient store in house which proved to be very useful. But through out our stay, the one thing which touches us is the friendliness of the hotel staffs, very courteous and ever ready to help. That particular lady who sent us to our limousine bus deserved special mention for being very thoughtful. Unfortunately in a hurry we didn't register her name. We stayed in 6 hotels in Tokyo, and I must admit we have the best experience from this hotel.

I had taken 2 rooms for 5 nights for my family in end May 2010 at Metropolitan Hotel.The Narita 'Airport Limousine' bus delivered us right to the hotel entrance for 3000Yen per pax and we returned to the airport using this convenient bus service. The check-in service was efficient and the staff has sufficient English language proficiency to handle all enquiries. The duty manager, who spoke English very well, pro-actively offered to give us a briefing on where to go in Tokyo and how to get around on the Metro and JR lines and even informed us of the nearby locations for good food. There are plenty of food choices near the hotel and "SPICES", located at the top of the TOBU department store opposite the hotel, has 3 floors of restaurants where all kinds of japanese food are found (also pasta and Korean). The JR and Metro lines are in the basement of this shopping complex. We could get to all local tourist locations from this station. Within walking distance, the neighbourhood has shops, eating places, departmental stores and complexes, etc where you can get practically the same range of things as in Shinjuku or other more well known districts. This hotel is also a pick up point for tours to Mt Fuji/Hakone or for other local day trips which can be arranged at the front desk. The hotel rooms are clean; the linens and towels of good quality.Unfortunately our beds were not so comfortable as the springs were spolit or defective. Overall, the hotel is a 4-star experience for a 2.5-star price. A lot better value compared to London and Paris hotels. Ikebukuro is slightly out of the town centre but it is not a problem with public transport available just opposite the hotel and the hotel rate here is very much less than a hotel of similar class in Shinjuku and Ginza. If you are on holiday, with no clients to impress, I recommend this good value hotel with excellent location.

Super close to Ikebukuro station and surrounded by a lot of great cheap but super tasty eateries. Not as busy as Shinjuku and Shibuya so you have room to breathe as well as the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. Rooms are small but you can clearly see the room size etc on the listings before booking. You get what you see so not sure why people are surprised to arrive and be confronted by a small room. It is snug but not uncomfortable. If you are on the larger side it would probably be best to book a larger room (We are standard Asian size lol).

Great for humble solo travelers. I say this because I chose to stay here instead of with my group, as they wanted more space and cooking facilities. The room: You get what you pay for = basics. Very small, but I could fit 1 XL suitcase, 2 Large travelling bags in the room. The bathroom was also a tight squeeze but it had all the essentials. The only space I could use to stretch was on the bed, so if you can handle small living areas this is for you. Location: Great distance from major shopping points (such as Sunshine City), but the downside is that the hotel is positioned right next to a highway/vehicle overpass. The noise from the outside street did make it hard for me to sleep, but if you're a heavy sleeper then you should be okay. A bit of a walk to the JR station but other train-lines are available. The neighborhood is very safe (I was walking back to the hotel well past midnight after I dropped my friends off). Cleanliness: From the lobby, the elevator, hallway and to my room, my experience with this hotel was very clean. I have sensitive skin, but I had no problems during my stay - the bathroom, the robes and the bed linen provided were clean. The building itself looked very well maintained. Staff: Not all staff could speak English, so it would be wise to learn a bit of the language to make things easier. But they were all very friendly and eager to help. Best highlight was the staff were able to hang on to my luggage before I could check in so I could see the sights, and then also hang on to it after check out as I had a late-night flight. They were also able to help me find the closest post-office, but I struggled to secure a shuttle with the staff. Other than that, I was very comfortable and happy with the service. Facilities: Everything listed on the booking was there in the room. Had no issues with any of the furnishings or equipment. TV came with a headphone jack so it's good if you have blue tooth headphones so you can watch the TV without annoyi

The best thing about this hotel was its fantastic location, only a 3 min walk from the East Exit of the JR Ikebukuro Station which is particularly convenient if you have a JR pass and can use the Yamanote Line for free. The rooms were really modern and new and the rain shower was fantastic. Breakfast was also good to have. In all, the room isn't huge (no cupboards) but it really wasn't an issue. One note of caution is that the toilet door isn't opaque but only frosted and only 1 card key is given. But overall, we looked at a few other hotels in Ikebukuro and around Shinjuku and this hotel was definitely the best value. Location can't be beat!

Firstly, the lady who checked us in was very sweet and helpful. The other staff we had encountered during our stay were quite helpful as well but perhaps not as friendly I would say. As it was our second time staying in their chain hotel, we knew that there is no room key and all you need to do is to memorise a password that is given to you at check in. It saves the hassle of bringing your keys every where with you. The hotel offers free breakfast to every guest and they try to vary some of the dishes day to day. So you have rice, soup, veg, meat, bread and drinks between 7-9.30am. Room is very clean although it is a little small and the toilet is compact as well. Nonetheless, what you need is there. If you were to return the dirty towels Everyday and not ask for cleaning, they will replace the towels for you and give you 2 bottled water in return. Location wise it is located at the extreme west exit of Ikebukuro JR station which means you would have to walk 5-7 mins

The staff were very helpful for me with a late checkout and then helped me relocate rooms to non-smoking even though it wasn't specified in the booking. The hotel is literally next to JR Itabashi station and you'll see it from the train (1 stop from Ikebukuro on the Saikyo Line). It's only a few stops from Akihabara, Tokyo and Shinjuku so there's plenty to see and do from there. There are restaurants nearby and convenience stores and being a slightly older hotel the rooms are slightly bigger than some of the newer ones I've stayed in. In my room they had a large LCD that had BBC world news on it which was good as I was craving some Eng at the end of my trip.

Although the rooms are small in these kinds of Japanese business hotels, I found the room to be adequate for my husband and myself. It was very comfortable as long as you don't have big bags and can adjust to the smaller size. Everything fit in its place, and it wasn't as small as other hotels I've stayed in with a similar design in Japan. I liked the bathroom because you could take a bath or shower and there was complimentary and nice shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrushes, sponges, etc. They also provided a robe for each person, as well as slippers. I enjoyed watching Japanese TV and the internet worked well. The IP address is on the first screen of the TV. There was also an option on the TV remote to change the language settings of some English movies so you can hear them in Japanese or English. The breakfast was really good. It was just basic but well-done and comfortable. There weren't too many people there because you have to choose to buy the breakfast. In some places, they just give everyone the breakfast for free and then it gets too crowded. The bed was very soft and comfortable and I liked that you could control the air conditioning in your own room. Since the room was small, it was easy to get it cold. There is a fridge there too, but don't forget to plug it in. Also, there is a hair dryer in the drawer, so no need to bring your own. The check out was so fast! You can just leave your card in a box in the lobby. I really enjoyed my stay here and I would definitely come again!

Things I like best: password lock for the room (how great is that we don’t need to keep key cards!), yummy free breakfast, spa, clean, caring as they provide different types of pillows and free goodies like masks/cleansing oil, so just suit yourself; and most importantly a culture of TRUST, I mean the hotel staff won’t treat you like you will misbehave, if you know what I mean, so not much monitoring at all Yes it’s a bit far away from the north exit of Ikebukuro Station but acceptable. Got a few supermarkets, convenient stores and restaurants in the vicinity. The room is small, but it’s common for hotels in Tokyo, expected. Overall a very good experience for my family, will definitely come back to Super Hotels when I ever visit Japan again. Thank you for hosting us!

The first thing that prompted me to book this hotel is definitely the washing and drying machine. However, keep in mind, it will usually take at least 3 hours to complete the whole cycle! First pack of laundry soap is free, but then you have to buy it for only 30 yen!!! The room itself is not spacious, but it is pretty new. However, the bathroom is much bigger than most business hotel with a huge tub as well. One thing to keep in mind, there is no room service for 6 days or less, but the cleaning stuff will change your garbage and linens. Again, I'm not a messy person, so it wasn't a big deal. Plus, I never understand people who treat the hotel room as a garbage dump. One thing I find it irritating is the air-conditioner's light really disturbs my sleep because it's so bright, but I don't think there's anything I could do about that except turn the air-con off. Also, the hotel does not provide cups for tea etc. It would be nice to at least have a cup for the tea packs near the electric kettle and microwave. The hotel's security is really top-notched. You need a key card in order to go into the elevator and up to your floor. The location is perfect as it is in the heart of Ikebukuro and is near the JR train station. As many of you have pointed out, take the West C6 exit, then turn left on the main street once you are up the escalator until you see a 7-11, then turn left again and you'll see it on your right pretty soon. There are many restaurants open at night near the area as well. The staff is attentive and speaks pretty well English (although I've also used my minimum Japanese as well). One girl in glasses tried to help me about delivering my luggage to Narita Airport. If the price is right again, I will definitely book this hotel. Overall: 9/10

We booked Traditional Room (futon bed) for 3 persons. It is more than enough for us, the futon is comfy, the air conditioner is dope (when we needed the room to be cooler or warmer) but it took some time until the fan work normally since we turn it on. Standing ovation for the cleaning team (have seen 2 gentlemen) that really took details in cleaning our room :", in spite we're group of woman that have hairfall problems. The room space is just sufficient for 2 luggage with size 90L to be place for opening position, more than 2 will make the room feels stuffed. The bathroom is great with the square bathtub for 1 person and nice water temperature control. The owner and staff, especially Ms. Sharon, is a fantastic woman that always helping us in every needs (guide, information, etc) even before we arrive the hotel. Not to forget the location is good enough for a leisure walk to the nearest and quite biggest station, Ikebukuro Station. Will definitely book this place again, near future. Thank you.

Good and bad points review for this Hotel. Good points are great location, there are Restaurant, Family store, shopping mall, drugs store and etcs surrounding here, Single Room are small but the facilitles including TV, Fridge, hair dryer, water kettle, attached bathroom, hot shower, shampoo and etc which is so much comfort for those who staying here during winter season :) But i just dislike the room are too old... and it is smooking room actually, althought i did requested for non-smooking room, stuff will clean your room everyday if you just drop your key to reception before you go out, i was staying here more than 11 days so i get to used to be and is it actually no too bad, not like the first day i come to this room 207 i just feeling that moment i want to change hotel... yup actually not too bad, i did chat with stuff which is doing cleaning they did give me a warm smile and when i back to my room room at night they did arrange my belongins nicely, that moment i feel like i will like to come back to this hotel again, althought before that i was thiking this hotel is actually not suitable for female tourists because i think it is more like a business hotel for men.

This hotel locates at Kitagochi exit of JR Ikebukuro Station where most of the pubs and whorehouses are in vicinity. As a female travelling in Tokyo alone, I feel quite uncomfortable walking around the area after 10pm. Its only around 7 minutes walk from JR Ikebukuro Station (Minami-exit / Kita-exit). Nice and tidy room. Helpful staff at reception though most of them could not speak English (Out of the 8 staff members that I came across during my stay in this hotel, only 1 could speak English). During my stay in Tokyo, i got a flu and had not been feeling well. I had been vomitting and diarrhea for 2 days. I went to the reception and ask if there would be any clinics nearby which opened on Staurday. The receptionist (he was the only one who could speak English) had tried to search through the net and found one for me. He then drew a map and showed me the way to that clinic in great details. I also asked if they could help me to wash my clothes since they got my vomit on it. He explained that the hotel could not help to wash clothes with vomit on. But then he again showed me the way to a coin laundry nearby and drew me a map for the way to that coin laundry again. The next day he saw me going out, he asked if I was feeling better already and wish me good day. It has been very touching and I am really thankful for his help. I wrote a thank you card to him and passed to his colleague on the day I checked out. I would also like to take the opportunity in writing this review to express my deepest gratitude to him for all his help and detailed explanations for my speedy recovery so I could enjoy my stay in Tokyo for the remaining days of my journey.

I was very pleased by my stay in the Hotel Ohedo. They are an inexpensive business hotel that gave us a good rate for a ten day stay. The rooms were (for Tokyo!) reasonably large, clean, and with all necessary amenities. The staff were well-trained and friendly; by the second day, the whole day and evening shift knew which room key belonged to whom. I was travelling in a larger group, but we all had different departure days, and the staff also gave me no trouble over hanging out in a friend's room for a while even after I'd already checked out. My only caveats are: there is no elevator to get from the ground level to the lobby level, which is problematic with luggage or if you have accessibility needs. The aircon also seemed to have glitches (making the room much colder than programmed) despite being a very new system, so that I would maybe not stay at the Ohedo at the height of Japanese summer when I can't simpyl turn the aircon off. All in all, this was a very pleasant stay in a convenient location, and very professional hotel staff that were courteous and unfazed by a whole group of foreigners with different departure and arrival dates.

Nice location. Near both JR train station and metro station ( About 5-10mins walk, just depends on your walking speed🤣). Room clean and neat, and much larger than I thought. Able to fully open my 26" luggage. Love their green policy, you may get 2 bottle of distilled water each day if you choose to just tidying up your bedsheets instead of changing it. Best for those who had an issue of directly drinking tap water...

This is my 2nd time booking at Toyoko Inn Ikebukuro. Love the hotel's location, and got it for a great value. Every time I'm booking hotels, Toyoko Inn is always my first choice. The hotel price always include breakfast, which is always a deal breaker for me. This hotel always serves good breakfast. All the staff are very nice, accommodating, and are willing to help. Utilities are amazing. Rooms and toilets are small, but are on point. I also love that this hotel is very close to Ikebukuro JR Station, and lots of restaurants, convenient stores, and more.

The space is great for solo traveler but can be a little pricey. Tho I think its already a good deal as it’s rare to find a serviced residence in tokyo with good location and in-room amenities at this price. The place is more of a residential type so you can’t find 24hrs staff that’ll greet you in the lobby. After getting the key in the main office, you can just go inside the building and no one will bother you. There is caretaker inside the building who is really nice and approachable. He is available during the day and you can just knock on the glass window and he will gladly assist you if you need anything. Overall experience here was comfortable. Pros: • Free taxi ride from the main office to the serviced residence • Good location (metro and shopping area are just walking distance) • Family Mart right across the building. There’s also a nearby 7-11 • Ichiran Ramen is very few steps away Cons: • You need to go to the main office first which require lots of walking (if you’re coming from skyliner train). You many need to prepare yourself esp if you carry big luggages • Trash can inside the bedroom smells so I had to put it out of the room • You cant relax immediately upon arrival to the place as you need to put on the bedsheets yourself

We stayed there for 5 nights. The hotel staff didn't provide the real non-smoking room. It also didn't have this kind of room type in agoda website. Therefore, this is not recommended for traveling with babies, children, pregnant women, and smoke-sensitive persons. I firstly got a room on the floor full with smoking smell and later they moved me to another floor without any smoke after I strongly complianed. The next day I found that the guests in other rooms were smoking and the aisle became full with smoking smell. I opened the room's window and turned off the air-cond and it has cool breeze outside, approx 11'c at night. The trains noise was terrible. I couldn't find vacancy in other comparable hotel with that many nights long as they were fully booked during Sakura blossom festive. However, I finally decided to put up with it and it's really easy to get to the train station.

Wanted to try out a love hotel because we were in Japan and why not! Hotel Varkin was in a good area with many other love hotels around it along with shops and bars and close to a station. You don’t interact with and employees except to check in, but you don’t even see each other’s faces. The room itself was big and spacious and the jacuzzi bathtub was great! Cons would be that we asked for a non-smoking room, but they gave us a smoking room that reeked of cigarettes. Also, the room itself isn’t the cleanest or what you would get at a regular hotel. We also expected to be some vending machines or products we could purchase to play with in the lobby or halls, but there weren’t any. Only 2 complimentary condoms in the room. Other than that, the love hotel was a nice experience. They have adult movies on the tv and free WiFi as well.

We ended up booking this accommodation after Brilliant MK-3 decided to cancel our reservation on the same day, which is already paid and booked more than a week ago before our arrival. This accommodation was the only silver lining of our very bad experience. The room is spacious, with complete set of toiletries, with kitchen, very accommodating owner/manager, with simple breakfast (as he calls it), very near the dining districts, accessible in terms of transportation. I really can’t ask for anything else.

this is by far the best bang for the buck hotel in ikebukuro. if you plan to use yamanote line most of the time, this is the hotel for you if you are a solo traveller. room is very clean and also has mobile phone you can take for free during your stay! fresh towels and robe given daily! Sukiya is just beside it for quick hunger buster. Place is also very quiet! Bus ride to airports is also just across which stops at metropolitan hotel. Lawson, 7-11 and Family are very near as well. So if you are looking for cheap but clean hotel, this is for you!

We booked this hotel as It was a very last minute as we forgot to book a hotel coming back from Osaka back to Tokyo, literally everything was booked out besides hotel. so we passed on that and gave this hotel a try. Even if we didnt try we had no place to stay so we had to book this hotel for one night. To our surprise the stay wasn't so bad. The hotel is in a great location, about 2nd building from the train station exit. Theres food and shopping right outside our footstep or a walk down the road. The hotel was clean, bathroom and toilets weren't together, they were separated, hence why our bathroom was big, the bathtub could of fit 4 people, the shower was strong it was awesome to use in such a big space. Overall wasnt a bad stay as we thought for such a last min stay on a Saturday night when no other hotels were available at all. Staff barely new english but was super helpful, even gave me his phone to call a friend. They has a spa and stuff on floor 9 but for men only. The only down side to it was they had no internet.
