Relaxed hotel with great staff.

The staff at this hotel were extremely welcoming and spoke very good English. The hotel is in a quiet, relaxed area of Tokyo, and only one stop away from Ikebukuro station.

It felt like a home away from home. Located in a charming small town area minutes from bustling Ikebukuro by train, you can get a glimpse of daily life in residential Tokyo. I stayed in the bunk bed room on the upper floor. It was a comfy bed and it never got uncomfortable, though I wasn't sure whether the light in the room is supposed to be left on or not. Being that this was an old house/former restaurant, you can hear some voices from downstairs but it didn't bother me. The staff are really nice and friendly. Shota-san made sure it was a pleasant experience from before arrival though after check out. They offer you coffee each morning in the cafe/lounge space and will strike up a good conversation. I could hang out in the lounge day or night and write in my journal, chat with other guests, or eat something I bought in the many shops nearby. Water, a refrigerator and kettle are available. Since it was New Year's Eve they hosted a party so you can experience how Japanese celebrate new years at home. Although I had another engagement, on the day after they offered the same traditional Japanese new year meal which I saw them prepare the day before. Overall, it was a memorable stay and I would come back again.

이번 도쿄여행에서 가장 인상깊었던 숙소였습니다. 위치가 번화가와 적당히 가까우면서도 조용한 동네를 경험할 수 있어서 더 좋았어요. 아침마다 호스트가 내어 준 커피맛도 잊지못할거에요. 공용욕실이지만 청결하고 관리가 잘 되어있어 전혀 불편하지 않았고, 전체적으로 조용하고 편안한 분위기의 숙소였습니다. 근처에 편의점, 마트, 작고귀여운식당들이 많습니다. 실제로 맛도 있었구요. 이 숙소를 고민하고 이 후기를 보고 계신 분이 있다면 한번 쯤 묵어보시길 추천합니다.

Started our trip to Japan at Sheena and Ippei in Tokyo and it was the best start to our holiday. Our host Shoto couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. Friendly atmosphere in the common area and it really does feel like they've extended their home to you. Shoto also makes an excellent coffee to start your morning right! It's located in Shiinamachi which is on a local line off ikebukuro and was easy to get to. Would recommend this to anyone who likes a traditional Japanese room, quiet but friendly hostel and nice to be just outside of blingy central Shinjuku

Very nice experience in Toyko, feel like a local

Super nice neighborhood, there are lot of nice local restaurants nearby with decent price and very good traffic connection. Their traditional Japanese room is just adorable and the feeling is totally different from another standard hotel. It will be much nicer if the hostel got a few more shower rooms :-)

バスクリンの湯にはちょっと参った！

評価だけを鵜呑みにして宿泊先に選び、早朝玄関の施錠を解除して近郊の巨大アミューズメント施設へと出かけたらこの宿の良さは半減します。外国の方の評価が高いのはスタッフとゲストの距離が非常に近い事。やはりこれは日本の宿泊者の方にも感じていただきたい点です。2日間以上東京滞在の方にはオススメですが、ドミトリー利用者には足を伸ばしてゆっくり休める場所が利用しているベットしかないため窮屈に感じる方もいるでしょうが、こういう時こそ1階の共有スペースを活用する事をオススメします。自分の想像をはるかに超えた怪物TOKIOでありながら等身大の町並みを楽しめ、トキワ荘通りをぶらぶら歩くだけでも池袋駅を降りわざわざ1駅のために西武線に乗り換えてこの宿を選ぶ価値はありますよ。

독특한 숙소

매우 정감가는 골목길에 자리 잡고 있어서 일본 일반 주택가의 느낌을 만끽할 수 있습니다. 골목마다 세탁소, 슈퍼, 반찬가게, 라면 집 등이 있고 주변에 맛있는 꼬치집, 서서먹는 우동집도 있어서 저녁에 편하게 한께 해결하고 시간 보낼 수 있습니다. 시이나마치역이 3분 거리에 있어 편합니다. 게스트 하우스 호스트하는 쇼타상은 매우 붙임성이 좋고 도움을 주려고 애를 씁니다. 묵는 동안 많은 도움을 받았습니다. 숙소는 전체적으로 깨끗하고 욕실 및 화장실도 잘 유지 관리 됩니다. 1층을 낮에는 카페로 사용하는대 동네 사랑방 느낌으로 정감이가고 젊은 일본 친구들도 많이 찾아 옵니다. 6시 이후에는 숙박하는 사람들 전용으로 사용됩니다. 묵을 수만 있다면 한번 묵어 보길 권합니다.
