Trouble-free Tokyo base

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 26 Dec 2018
I stayed here for 6 nights as I explored Tokyo and surrounding areas. The staff were friendly and helpful, although I got the impression my attempts to converse via my Japanese phrasebook when I accidentally locked myself out of my room weren't appreciated in the spirit in which I intended. The room was comfortable and street-facing rooms have a view of the Skytree! Wifi was reliable. It is a 5-10min walk from the main entry of JR Ueno station and the Ueno Tokyo Metro station (there is a side entrance to the JR station around the corner from the hotel) and there are 2 Family Marts and lots of cheap restaurants of various cuisines within that 10min hotel-station area.

Well within walking distance of Ueno Station, hotel is bright and clean. Room with an unblocked view. However, it is extremely small even for Japan standards. Buffet Breakfast is normal, on one side of first floor, opposite the check-in counter. Amazing how the food and tables can be squeezed into such a small space. OK for short stay. Will be claustrophobic for anything longer

This hotel is within easy walking distance of both the JR Ueno station as well as the Keisei Ueno station (we used the Keisei Skyliner to get to and from Narita Airport). It is also close to Ueno Onshi Park. My son and I shared a two-twin room. The room was small, which evidently is common in Tokyo, but very clean and very efficiently organized. They put Ikea to shame. Incredibly, in addition to the two beds, there was room for a TV, desk, chair, even a refrigerator (everything was scaled appropriately). There was just enough room for our backpacks. The bathroom is pod-like (which we were to find is also common in many small hotels and ryokans with private bathrooms). I also want to give a shout out to the front desk. We stayed here our first night in Tokyo, and were so pleased with the room that I booked it for our last two nights as well (we went on a tour in between). However, due to the floods in western Tokyo, we ended up getting stuck in Hiroshima and were unable to reach Tokyo until the day of our flight. The hotel staff graciously did not charge us for the cancelled reservations.

Reviewed 4 July 2018 via mobile

Room was smaller than i expected but comfortable enough for 2 people. We had a total of 2 big luggages and a couple more small bags between us and we did not have any major problems with packing. Bathroom could have been bigger but it was expected as this was the norm for tokyo based hotels. Location was a huge plus being about 10mins from the Airport Railway and 3 mins from the nearest exit of Ueno Station (Iriya Gate) for those who wishes to know.

Staff were friendly and speaks good English.

Would stay again if the opportunity arises.

This is 3 blocks away from Ueno Station and it is a very fine hotel. even though the rooms are very small, we had two beds for both of us. Good service and excellent staff! Breakfast is good with plenty of things to choose from.
