Categories

Cleanliness
8.4
Generally clean with daily housekeeping noted, but isolated issues reported (moldy child seat, occasional elevator dirt, and some musty/mildew smell in places).
Service
9.9
Repeated praise for exceptionally friendly, helpful and accommodating staff at the front desk; a few minor comments about limited reception space or inconsistent recommendation knowledge.
Location
9.9
Excellent location near Ikebukuro train station (6–10 minutes walk) with many restaurants and shopping — frequently highlighted as a major plus.
Room Quality
7.8
Spacious for Tokyo and family-friendly layouts (two bedrooms, kitchen), but several guests noted hard mattresses, Japanese-style low beds, small bathrooms, noisy footsteps from above and rooms sometimes smaller than photos.
Amenities
8.6
Good apartment-style amenities (kitchen, washer/dryer, children’s playroom, separate AC units) but some maintenance issues (poor dryer performance, AC noise, mold on certain items, lack of hand towels).
Value for Money
8.4
Mixed perceptions — convenient and comfortable for families but some guests felt it was not the best value for price and commented 'you get what you pay for' in spots.
Food and Beverage
8.9
Not directly mentioned in reviews for on-site F&B; many guests appreciated the large variety of nearby restaurants.
Overall Experience
9.3
Strong overall family-friendly experience with friendly staff, great location and useful apartment features; minor negatives (bed comfort, occasional maintenance/noise) did not outweigh positives for most guests.

Pratique très kids friendly mais pas forcément du bon côté de la gare
Pros:

L aménagement de la chambre est parfait , spacieuse pour Tokyo.

Cons:

L insonorisation de la chambre , bruits de saut d enfant énervant tôt le matin et tard dans la nuit, ascenseur non parfaitement propre, espace buanderie très pratique mais vraiment serré et petit quand tout le monde fait ses machines en même temps

Pros:

מלון דירות, סופר נוח למשפחות, לקחנו דירה עם 2 חדרי שינה, יש מכונת כביסה ומייבש , יש סלון חמוד, החדרים סבבה יש 2 מקלחות ו 2 שירותים, במרחק של כ 10 דקות הליכה יש תחנת רכבת גדולה, מלא מסעדות וקניונים, הדירה שקטה , יש מזגן נפרד בכל חדר, מנקים כל יום ומחליפים מגבות, מצעים מחליפים כל יומיים.

Cons:

המזרונים קשים ממש, המיטות בסגנון יפני על הריצפה ( לא ממש נורא אם המזרון לא היה ככ קשה), השירותים בחדר הורים קטנים ממש וכך גם החלל במקלחת.

Fantastic location, friendly staff — a wonderful family stay and made exploring Tokyo a Breeze
Pros:

We loved our stay at MIMARU Ikebukuro! The location was fantastic for exploring Tokyo, and having two separate bedrooms was perfect for our family of five. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this accommodation to other families visiting Japan!

Cons:

The only downside was that the beds in the main bedroom were quite hard and could have been more comfortable. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and were very happy with the accommodation.
