Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo

Hello,

Just finishing the details of my trip to Japan in July. From what I read here, Shinjuku and Shibuya are excellent neighborhoods to stay in, but I have the tendency to choose the Hotel Metropolitan Tokyo in Ikebukuro. This is because of the cost/benefit relation and the fact of being next to the Ikebukuro station that would facilitate our comings and goings.

Do you think it is fair? I know the location is good, but would this place be so rushed that I could regret?

Thanks.

The Metropolitan is not next to the station, but it's close. It is on the quieter side of the station, but almost every station in Tokyo is busy.
Here's the map.

Some of my acquaintances use this one in Ikebukuro, so I've been there, and I find the neighborhood nice and not too busy. You could say it's "quite close" to the station :) From the JR station, you could use the escalator up to the street level, and walk over in a few minutes (or the airport limousine bus from/to Narita stops there too, even though the service is not that frequent).
