Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo is definitely a good value for price conscious travelers who would rather spend their money on shopping or partying when you come to Tokyo. The lobby is very nice, service is excellent but the rooms are downright tiny if you don't upgrade from the economy price that was offered in the Expedia package that I purchased. I... more

Stayed here for one week for work. Have been in Tokyo regularly for work over the years. It's a very good hotel. Ikebukuro is an excellent location - lots of restaurants / bars and services nearby. Good for the train (local stop is JR Ikebukuro Station). Has a fitness centre with pool in the same building. Lots of shops nearby... more

I guess you are cosidereing staying here as you in the Priority Club, with Holiday Inn, Crowne Plazas etc. If thats the case, this is a good hotel. Last year we stayed at the Ana Intercontinental in Roppongi, which was nice, but was miles from anywhere. This hotel is right in the heart of plenty of restaurants, bars and of... more

This is a Japanese Hotel not an American Hotel (size wise). Barely room for a second suitcase....barely room to walk around your bed! Yes, tiny tiny rooms...about a foot bigger than Japanese chains I have stayed in and smaller than most Prince Hotels. Nothing special...No extras...your typical HOLIDAY INN Crowne Plaza--nothing extra! Pricey Restaurants. If you do stay here--there are... more

Very convenient for a business traveller to Japan. There is a direct hotel bus from Narita Airport to the hotel - 3000 yen each way, or, some Narita Express trains stop directly in Ikebukuro or, when arriving by Shinkansen from Kyoto etc: get off in Ueno or Tokyo Main station and take the direct train (Yamanote line) to Ikebukuro, a... more

Stayed here for 2 nights in their standard double bed room. The rooms are small, but this is typical in Japan. Very clean and comfortable accomodations. Great service. Location is good, right next to the Ikebukuro Station which links you to anywhere you want to go in Tokyo. The subway system is very efficient. There are plenty of places to... more

Hi We`ve stayed in Crowne 22-26 August 2007. From this forum pages I knew the hotel is under a constant renovation - yes the pool is not finished yet, neithe are some floors. 1/ In our booking we mentioned accomodation on the renovated floor which was met without delay or reminding. We were on the 15th, non-smoking. Check-in swift and... more

Located very close to the Train station and the main JR line so very conveinient. Hotel has 2 entrances with a number of restaurants and an observation/restaurant/bar. 24 hour free internet is a bonus. Lower floor rooms are quite small and the smoking rooms are really smokey! Higher floor rooms are bigger and refurbished. I found reception tried to hard... more

I stayed for five nights at a corporate rate of 13,400 plus taxes in mid-February. My single room was unavailable so I was upgraded to a double room at no extra charge. Many of the floors have been recently renovated but my floor, the 23rd had not yet been. Still, it wasn't bad. The room was very functional and as... more
