Very good location - close to Ueno Station, easy walking access. Rooms are big enough for one person, but for two with 2 pcs of luggage it is a challenge; but in Japan it is quite normal. Really nice breakfast. Only some members of the staff speak little English, but they are really friendly anyway!
Good acomodation near Ueno station. The staff understand English and the amenities was kawaai :). No need to buy breakfast package because there were so many restauran and convenient store (Family mart or 711). At Friday night, the street might be become "interesting" but nothing dangerous happening during our stay.
I needed somewhere to stay when I arrived in Japan and flew into Narita airport.
This hotel is at the end of the fast train service into Tokyo that finishes at Ueno station. It’s a short walk but easy to find.
The staff were expecting me and checked me in quickly. The room was tiny but perfectly formed with all mod cons.
Even better was the location in the morning, I was straight into Ueno Park and the museums and Sakura blossom trees. I even visited the zoo which was cheap but got to see Pandas which were amazing.
It’s well out of town but near the station so great for transport.
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
