It is a 8 minutes walk from the JR Otsuka station to the hotel, but a 20 minutes walk from the Ikebukuro station. The room I stayed has built-in mini kitchen, so faint smell of food can be detected walking in the room, which is okay to me. Cleaning service will only be provided for a fee. But they can provide new towel for free if needed. Generally, it is a nice budget hotel.
