Small room but good location. Friendly.

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Jun 2019via mobile
Room was small and faced a brick wall. Could hear traffic lights at night. Bothered me but not my husband. Was clean and staff gave kids a welcome pack on arrival. Staff were really friendly and tried to help but didn't have much info about the area. Was ok for 1 night. Location was handy near the train station and ueno park. 5 mins walk to the zoo.

It’s right outside several metro lines and easy walking distance to the JR yamanote line. Easy to reach with either airports. Close to lots of restaurants and shops and also ameyoko shopping area. The rooms are what you would expect from an affordable Tokyo hotel. They help out with lots of things. I could even borrow an umbrella from the front desk for a rainy day. Because of the size of the rooms I recommend booking a double sized room.

This hotel is located very close to subway (Ueno-Hirokoji station) and a big JR station (Ueno). Also, it close to Keisei-Ueno station, which you could have a skyliner train directly from Narita Airport. So the location is 10/10.

The hotel room is clean. The room size is relatively small but it is as usual at this size in Tokyo.

There are 3 or 4 convenience store nearby and 24 hours shopping mall (Donqihote) within 5 minutes walk.

You can easily find a food in this area include late night meal. There are 2 famous ramen shop nearby. First one is Ichiran at Ueno station and second is Ippudo.

The hotel staff are really nice and friendly. This hotel provide you a coin laundry with cheap price (500 JPY for 3Kg).

I'd love to return here if I'll visit Tokyo again.

We had a wonderful experience staying in this hotel. The hotel is located in the center of Ueno Okachimachi which is a walking distance to several metro and JR stations . It took us less than 8 minutes walking to Keisei Ueno station with our heavy luggage on the day of departure to Narita Airport. There were many restaurants, Family Marts, 7-11 and shopping places located a few steps away from the hotel. Ameyokocho and Ueno Park could also be reached within a few minutes.
Thanks to the small gift from the hotel to me and my spouse after we informed them that it was our wedding anniversary vacation trip.
