I’d only recommend this place for solo travelers staying for a couple of nights.
There is not a single shelve for your stuff so it will look messy the single moment you get in. The place itself has potential but it could use some maintenance and creativity to max out the space and modernize it.
Cleaning could improve too and the toilet was a let-down for me: it can’t be appreciated from the pictures but don’t expect a full featured Japanese toiled. No bidet spray and no heated seat.
The location is fairly good though, it is easy and cheap to reach. A two stations ride from Ikebukuru station
