This is the 3rd time I'm staying at the Ark in Ikebukuro. A good, clean, no frills business hotel, small but clean and comfy rooms, the bed on the harder side, the shower small and functional, the pay-per-view catalogue comes with a separate adult selection. The view is usually apartment complexes next to sunshine city, this time my room was on the 4th floor and consisted mostly of wall. If you don't mind any of the above, you get a good hotel in great location (a few minutes walk from exit 35 of Ikebukuro Station with fast connections to everywhere).
