Located on the basement floor of Hotel Grand City, this restaurant caught my eye with its affordable lunch options. I decided to try the "Thick-cut Pork Ginger" for 880 yen, which came with soup, rice, and bread. The pork had a bit too much fat for my liking, but overall it was delicious. The atmosphere and price point of this place are fantastic. I didn't order any, but I really liked the vibe of the drink bar as well.

I had breakfast at the grand hotel buffet! The price was around 1280 yen. It opens at 6:30 am. The venue is on the basement floor. The main dishes on this day were white fish poêlé and chicken cutlet. There were various vegetables, salmon, quiche, scrambled eggs, meatballs, and lasagna. Rice options included white rice, mixed rice, curry, and soba. There were about 4 types of bread, flakes, yogurt, several desserts, and fruits. They had a variety of drinks, including milk! The salmon was delicious, especially with rice. The white rice was particularly tasty. The chicken cutlet was good, but the white fish was just okay. It's a hearty breakfast, great for those who have a big appetite. The yogurt and pineapple fruit were tasty, especially with blueberry sauce. The bread, especially the white bread, was delicious whether eaten as is or toasted. The curry had a nice spicy kick. The desserts were somewhat mediocre. Overall, it was a decent breakfast, but nothing outstanding, so I felt the price was a bit high. However, the delicious white rice made it worth it! Thank you for the meal!

I used this hotel during my business trip to Tokyo. It's conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro East Exit Station, making it very easy to access. The room was clean and had a sense of cleanliness, making it quite a respectable hotel. Last night, I continued drinking late into the night due to work commitments. Before I knew it, I had returned to the hotel room and was fast asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I was hungry so I had breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel. The food had a gentle flavor and was very delicious. I will definitely use this hotel again.

Today, I had the daily lunch special which was a mixed fry. It came with bread, rice, and soup for 770 yen. I am grateful for the meal.

The breakfast buffet was good. The salad was delicious and they also had curry. The dessert, especially the tiramisu, was tasty.

On the first day, I had breakfast at the Hotel Grand City Ikebukuro. It was located downstairs to the left as soon as you exit the front desk on the first floor. The atmosphere was chic and calm, with beautiful flowers decorating the space. There was a wide variety of options available, including three types of cereal which I love! Although there were plenty of desserts and drinks, I was too nervous to eat much as I had work in a few hours. Even though I didn't eat much, the food was delicious! The grilled salmon was especially juicy and tasty. The hotel was clean, the room was well-maintained, and the service was polite. If I ever visit Ikebukuro again, I would choose this hotel. Next time, I would like to take my time and enjoy the meal more. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The breakfast buffet at Hotel Grand City in Ikebukuro. Today, there seemed to be slightly fewer options maybe because there was a group of students. However, they had noodles like salt yakisoba and green tea soba, as well as vegetable curry, desserts, and a small selection of fruits. The food was delicious, and guests can enjoy it for just a little over 1200 yen. Among paid buffets in the Ikebukuro area, it seems to have a good reputation. Thank you for the meal.

This time, I stayed at the business hotel "Hotel Grand City," located about an 8-minute walk from JR Ikebukuro Station East Exit. The hotel is conveniently located near Sunshine City, with many convenience stores and restaurants nearby. The exterior and front lobby seem to have been renovated, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making my stay pleasant. The room had an older unit bath and a fixed air conditioner, but they provide a humidifier upon request, so it's recommended to ask for one when booking. I opted for a "breakfast included plan" this time. The restaurant on the basement floor has been renovated and offers a decent selection of breakfast items, including homemade desserts, which was a nice touch. The hotel has a large number of rooms, so there may be some waiting for the elevator, especially if there are groups staying. Being located in a bustling area, the hotel is suitable for various purposes. The restaurant for breakfast can also be used by external guests, so if you're curious, why not stop by?

I looked it up online and it had high ratings, but when I went, it was just okay. It was average for the price. Nothing special.

Due to certain circumstances, I stayed in Ikebukuro the night before. I made a reservation at Hotel Grand City. Breakfast used to be a full buffet, which was delicious and well-received in the past, but due to the impact of the pandemic, it was limited to bread, soup, drinks, and rice only. It was a bit disappointing, but the taste was still good. Thank you for the meal!
