For the first time, I saw that there are as many as 30 room types on the booking website. In addition to the large number of rooms, different floors have been modified and updated to varying degrees, so I decided to look back at the official website!There are clear instructions and introductions above, we have sorted them out a bit, novice readers only need to choose the size of the room according to the floor of the stay!The room type we stayed in this time is a fourth room on the panoramic floor. It has one living room, two bathrooms and one room. The room is spacious enough to hold three large luggages and a stroller. (→ queryAvailability and real-time rates)

Four-person family room type at Sunshine City Prince Hotel Ikebukuro
The quadruple room type is quite suitable for a parent-child family. We like its planned space flow. It takes care of living in the same room but can be used independently. For example, outside the bathroom space is a double sink, and the mirror frame is the current standard makeup mirror lamp. , And there is a table in the left area, which can blow hair, wipe skin care products, etc. If family members want to go to the bathroom, the door next to the closet opens to the toilet, and the living space does not interfere with each other.In addition, the open wardrobe can hang coats and bags that you wear when you go out, and there is also a shoe cabinet for shoes, which makes you feel at home.
In the past, most of the family rooms used to stay with two double beds. The first time I encountered the design of four single beds, it was in line with the differences in sleep habits, especially when turning over and reading before going to bed (= mobile phone), it would be affected When the other person sleeps, our family is all light sleepers, and it is easy to wake up. If you are traveling with three or five girlfriends and friends, you should also think that four separate single beds are better than two double beds!
When entering the room, the service staff reminded the room that there is a special "device" above the room. After my sister's groping, it turned out to be a projector!Immediately choose Youtube to play the video. It is Little Hamburg’s favorite shark series of songs. He happily ran around and danced, and touched the projection on the wall in a novelty. After returning to the hotel, the family can watch movies and programs in the room with a projector. , The fun atmosphere is rare and touching.Anya added a supplementary explanation that our family room is equipped with a projector, and learned that there is only one hotel in the hotel, so you must make a request in advance to make the hotel coordinate arrangements.

Breakfast experience at Sunshine City Prince Hotel Ikebukuro
The breakfast restaurant is located at the back of the hall on the first floor. After telling the room number to the service staff, you can take a seat. Here, you can choose your favorite Japanese and Western breakfast and cold dishes. The overall dishes and tastes are good. There is no big problem.In the past, Wendy and I did not pay much attention to the breakfast in the restaurant for running scenic spots (sprinting for cherry blossom viewing/maple), and even thought it would be good to buy one at a supermarket or a bakery, but the small burger enters the staple food stage, usually after drinking milk You also need to eat a little bread or light food. This part depends on the restaurant to provide breakfast, and you can’t just eat it as you did before.
