Shinbashi, Tokyo hotel rooms at the Independent

"Roomnwas big and clean. "

"The breakfast buffet was amazing. The room was very clean and the staff was very friendly. The location is unbeatable. Just a few minutes walk away from the major train station and subway hub. I loved that there was an underground tunnel that went to the the train station and the government building. "

"Love it but just small and very busy"

"Good modern hotel. Breakfast was a highlight- cute, homely and modern setting with good selection of food in the buffet- especially the fluffy pancakes that were made to order. Location - Nice to be tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku but close enough to be able to walk there in about 15 min."

"Nice amenities. The laundry room is a great adds for the long stays traveler "

"Staff was very kind and well being trained for int’l customers "

"I really enjoy my stay at this hotel."

"This was my first time ever staying at a 4-star hotel in Tokyo, whereas it’s been in my experience as a solo traveler moreover to resort to places where a public onsen is offered on-site and perhaps a gym too, for the amenities. The Metropolitan Hotel Ikeburo was quite a phenomenal hotel for the standardized room size unexpectedly. The room chamber upon entry was greatly spacious with a Japanese double-sized bed with lots of pillows, a built in sitting bank lining the window with overhead lighting and pillows, plus a very heavy round marble coffee table next to it. An oversized TV screen was situated directly over the built in desk with drawers for a coffee maker and mini-fridge to either side. The architectural interior design was aesthetically a French-inspired curvilinear wood and canopy woodworking throughout the room’s layout. Replete in deep teals, greys, and lighter greyed wood features. The bathroom was medium sized, larger than many smaller hotel units designed for single occupancy. With a clothes closet next to the bedside. Pros: ‘Great’ for one person. Cons: Not enough space for luggage, especially between two travelers occupying the same room. Hotel amenities such as a full sized gym was highly exceptional for athletes of all ages. However, the pool too small for most any visitor there at the hotel, only being a 25-meter two lanes 4-5 foot deep swimming run. Not very amenable with the number of individuals allowed at any given moment on the spot. No Onsen "

"Clean room, staff was super courteous "
