Reception staff very friendly. Room clean, secure and has a window which can be opened. Room quiet and spacious (for Japan).
Basic breakfast, however quite good. Free alcohol bar in the evenings for a period of time. Good wifi.
Great location and close to the station. I was not fond of the pillow. Felt like it was full of rice. New to Japan so may be traditional. All round great accommodation.
Decent location off the JR Okachimachi station. Then again, I ended up using the Ginza metro line a lot during my stay so this wasnt a huge benefit.
Hotel staff is polite and can speak passable English. They helped me call a taxi to the airport.
But honestly, you can do better. I would pay ~$10-$20 more each night for a better room somewhere near Ueno station.
The room itself is moderately sized by Tokyo standards. But I really do not like having passcode-only doors. Also, there is no phone inside your room - so if you need something, you need to walk out into the hallway by the elevator to use the shared phone.
The bathroom is absolutely tiny. You have zero room when on the toilet.
Also, the "free breakfast" is not worth it unless you are on a really tight budget. I ended up getting food at the local 7-11 instead of waiting in line. The air conditioner unit was hard to use.
The included toiletries are abysmal compared to other hotels. You'll want to buy your own shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap from 7-11
This is now my favourite hotel for my trips in Tokyo. It is located a 4 minute walk from the JR station and it has food all around you (one street away from izakayas and shopping).
the room size is smallish, but you can fit 2 large bags (one on the table, one at bottom of bed) - we took the double room. The bed was comfy and you can pick your own pillows and toiletries from the lobby. (face masks and bath salts too!). Water pressure is good, the toilet is small but manageable. The bath tub is so cutely sized. lol
The free breakfast is basic but enough to fill you up before your day. They have a free open bar with alcohol in the evenings too.
will definitely come back here to stay.
The room is exactly as expected. Small, but definitely efficient. It was clean and easy to get to from Ueno station, and it's right near loads of restaurants and shops. We were on a high floor and had no issue with noise from the road. When we arrived there were no more pillows left, which was surprising considering, well, it's a hotel! We had to ask at the desk and then suddenly loads more pillows showed up. The breakfast was a bit of a let-down in terms of what is available (a couple of dishes that look hot but aren't, white bread, etc).
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms are small but the bed and the room were comfortable. Very good location. Not much of a view but overall a great value for the price. Wifi worked smoothly.
