Location:
It takes 15 minutes to walk from Ikebukuro Station. After getting off the tram, go to the West Exit C1 and walk 2 minutes to the hotel. Although the hotel is in an alley, you will see the hotel sign on the street.
facility:
The room I booked has a bathroom with a small bathing river, and there are public bathrooms in the corridor.
The lobby downstairs has a large table, microwave, TV, public refrigerator, hot water machine and dishwasher... You can buy instant noodles and heated food directly in the supermarket at night, and use the hot water machine and microwave to heat it directly in the lobby, which is very convenient .
The hotel is divided into 2 buildings, one of which has a washing machine and dryer. The washing machine is free and the dryer costs 100 yen for 30 minutes. But because I had a lot of clothes to wash, I went to a laundromat nearby. Both costs 100 yen for 8 minutes, but because the dryer in the laundry is relatively large, all the clothes have been dried after two uses. 
Surrounding:
There are 7-11, Family mart, Daily Yamazaki, Mini stop and other chain 24-hour supermarkets nearby within a 3-minute walk. There are also Matsuya and ramen shops on the main street.
Room:
It's a tatami style, so there's no actual bed, but since I don't like beds that are too soft, I found it very comfortable. I had a room on the ground floor. The room was very large and could open two large suitcases.
There are stairs to go upstairs, but there is a lift for suitcases.
The soundproofing of the room is average, but unless the isolation room is very loud, you will not be able to hear all the sounds in the isolation room.
Summarize:
The price/performance ratio is very good, and it is close to Ikebukuro Station. However, the hotel across the road from the hotel is in a residential area and is relatively quiet, so there will be no traffic noise. 
I found a large supermarket called Akafudado Ikebukuro on Google Maps that is open until 5am. It only takes 10 minutes to walk from the hotel. It has vegetables, fruits, meat, drinks, sushi and sashimi, etc...
There is an Owl Cafe near the hotel, only a 5-minute walk away. If you are interested, you can search it on Google Maps. Remember to make a reservation online first.
The boss is Chinese and can communicate in Chinese.
There was an incident on the return trip because I didn’t check the wheels of my suitcase properly before departure. When I arrived at the hotel, I discovered that the wheels were old and peeling. I went on YouTube and found a video teaching how to wrap the wheels with insulating tape, so I asked the boss to borrow some insulating tape on the day I checked out. , the suitcase can return home safely🙏
It is recommended that you take the Willer Express bus directly to the Ikebukuro Station ground bus stop when going to the hotel from Narita Airport. You can store your suitcases directly on the tour bus. You don’t have to worry about taking your suitcases and walking up the stairs at the subway station after you wake up and get off the bus. However, Remember to check the official website for bus times. There are also direct buses from Ikebukuro to Narita Airport on the return trip.
