Scene
Large hotel with a business vibe
Hotel
Metropolitan Tokyo occupies a massive high-rise building with a white,
modern facade on a busy Tokyo street. The lobby is
bright and airy, thanks to its high ceilings and inner atrium. But decor is generic and a bit dated: Clusters
of lime-green armchairs and gray sofas are arranged in seating areas,
and a large flower arrangement dominates the center. The hotel is a
popular venue for conferences, and business people in suits can be seen milling around during the day. But the hotel also gets a fair share of tourists, mostly couples or families traveling together.
Location
Close to Ikebukuro subway and train station
Ikebukuro
subway and train station is a six-minute walk from the hotel.
This is a major station where three subway lines and five train lines
cross, making transportation to any part of Tokyo easily accessible.
Also, the airport limousine bus service to Haneda International
Airport stops outside the hotel. The area is full of shops,
restaurants, and shopping centers, making it a convenient place to
stay.- Six-minutewalk to Ikebukuro subway and train station
Rooms
Well-equipped modern rooms with generic decor and city views
The Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo's 807 rooms come in four categories. Standard Rooms are the smallest, at 237
square feet. Though clean and well-maintained, the decor is drab and generic, dominated by neutral shades of beige and
brown. The Japanese-style bathrooms are small and have a functional
look, with small bathtubs fitted with handheld showerheads, sinks in
molded plastic, and electronic toilets. Superior Rooms have a
more updated look, with patterned carpeting and floral-patterned bed
runners. Yellow accent walls and bright-red bed pillows brighten these spaces. Their bathrooms are
bigger and fitted with vessel sinks. Executive Rooms are roomier
and have a classier look, with silk pillows on the beds and blinds as well as curtains on the windows. Their bathrooms include separate “wet bathrooms” with full bathtubs and showers sharing the same enclosed space. Suites include separate living
and dining areas, and some have separate meeting rooms. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning,
mini-fridges, electric kettles, air purifiers, slippers, robes,
hairdryers, and toiletries. Many offer panoramic
city views that can stretch as far as Mount Fuji on clear days.
