Hotel Route Inn Tokyo Ikebukuro is a business hotel about a 10-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, near Sunshine City and Animate. Free breakfast and coffee are provided, and rooms have a smartphone with internet, local calls and some international calls, an internet cable, and a pig-nose plug adapter. During breakfast hours seating is limited, so guests arriving late may have to wait, and keys are left at the front desk when going out. The building uses central heating, which makes room temperature hard to adjust in midsummer.
