The hotel was extremely clean. It's self service, so if you want your room to get cleaned you need to pay for it, however, you can get fresh towels every day. The place isn't downtown but close to the train station and just a few mins on the train from Ikebukuro where you can find lots of shops and restaurants. The commute into the city is doable. If you're looking for an affordable and clean option, this is a good choice. Of course the room is small but that is the case everywhere in Tokyo unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars a night. There's no laundry room but a laundromat nearby as well as 24/7 convenience stores. The checkout time at 10am is a bit early for my liking. It is possible to extend this up to noon (paid).
