Very good stay
This is a hotel for tour groups. It is a good hotel very good location to get the subway. Great breakfast. Fun to see all the young people in the attached mall. Many restaurants and shops. Went early a few days before my tour started visited places in Tokyo. Stay on a high floor and it was moved over for the tour. High floor was better. Comfortable small rooms

Front desk staff is bad. I asked for 2 more pillows in person at the front desk. The lady staff told me to go back to my room because they will take it for me right away. I waited for 90 minutes, no one came. I called to the front desk. A male staff said the pillows will come right away. But within half a minute, he called back and told me they DO NOT HAVE any spare pillows. I got angry. He just said SORRY no matter what I said. I insisted to talk to his manager. He hang up. After a minute, he called and said the pillows will come right away. Two pillows came after 5 minutes.

We only stayed for one night and would recommend it. It is inside of a shopping mall and entertainment and transportation. We enjoy our stay in this hotel and definitively will come back.

The staff was very friendly but the rooms were very old and are badly in need of renovation. The refrigerators do not work, the carpet is old and smelly, the air conditioner barely works, rooms and hallways stink of cigarettes. I did not sleep well my entire stay due to the bad smells and hot room.

15 minute walk from Ikebukuro station.
Hotel was clean, service was good.
There were some minor things with the room. Mainly that the drain on the shower was partially clogged so it would pool around your feet.
The view was great. It’s bigger than the surrounding buildings so you can see a lot of the surrounding skyline.
If you stay here it might be worth looking through the amenities. If you’re like me and just slept in the room, it might not be worth the price.

Sunshine City is an incredible place to stay. I've been staying there for years when I visit Tokyo. The hotel is beautiful and very clean. It has a big Family Mart convenience store right in the lobby and is attached to the big Sunshine City mall with 4 floors of stores and restaurants. The hotel is just a 10 minute walk from Ikebukuro Station or Higashi-Ikebukuro subway station. The mall has the Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo in it and there are many anime shops, arcades, stores and restaurants between the hotel and train station. Highly recommend!

Nice hotel and location
We stayed for 10 days. It was a pleasant stay. The room was small but we managed. We have 2 large, 1 medium and 2 carry-ons luggage. The bathroom was quite small and has a low ceiling too so if you’re tall ( my daughter and I are quite petite) like 5’10” and up, you will be hunching down. It’s quite a convenient location. There’s a connecting mall, convenience store, near the higashi-ikebukuro station [yurakucho line] which is conmected to the mall and the ikebukuro station which is the main station and has most of the train services. The only thing I dislike is the smell of smoke at the lobby sometimes probably coz there is a smoking area at the side of the lobby. Other than that it’s a very comfortanle stay. Ikebukuro is like the anime land so that’s a bonus for anime lovers.
