We had a quick one night stay here before heading back home and it was quite good! The breakfast was yummy with a good amount of options, hotel was maintained nicely and was very clean! The television was a bit outdated and the pillows were quite stiff, but past that it was a really good experience.

Enjoyed our stay. The room was very tiny but you figure out how to step over and around your belongings as it’s just a place to crash at night. It felt very clean! We paid for breakfast buffet one morning and it was a very nice spread of both Japanese and American food. The area is close to multiple subway stations and shopping/food.

Terrible experience. Aircon not cooling room down after 2 hours inside room. Hotel provided clock / room temperature showing 23 degree. Upon checking with reception, they said set aircon dial to high which is just fan dial no temperature setting in room. If that doesn’t work, open window of room or can borrow fan. It’s terrible for aircon to not work when outside temperature during day is 33 humid and nights are 23.

Great location within walking distance of Ueno station (JR lines) and Inaricho (Tokyo subway).

Able to leave bags before and after check in, these are stored in the lobby.

Check in process was simple and quick, did have to pay a city tax on check in (either cash or card was accepted).

Room and bathroom were clean and functional and good range of amenities provided.

Awesome stay! First time in Japan and it was our second week when we stayed here in Tokyo. Great hotel very safe, quiet, and convenient. Walking distance to a lot of attractions and close to our favorite line which was the Ginza line, it took us to all the other major cities in Tokyo. Pleasant stay, staff very polite and nice! Also were kind enough to hold luggage after checkout time so we can explore a little more before we left home. Would stay here again! I was traveling with my partner and we stayed in a double bed which fit us perfect!

This hotel is part of a nice, affordable chain. The rooms are quite nice for a business hotel. You can get breakfast for a reasonable cost, but there are no vegetarian/ vegan options. The biggest issue here is stairs. There is no way to enter the lobby without going up around a dozen stairs. A pain when you have luggage, but it would make this hotel very challenging for someone with mobility issues.

Really good for long term stays! Not a typical hotel you’d think of. Has washer and a really comfy bed. The only thing is that it’s not super close to any great restaurants or mall, everything is 2 bus stops away. But if you’re ok with walking and want to be away from the crowd it’s perfect.

Th hotel is near the Ueno station, about 5 mins walk. There is a washer/dryer room behind the hotel, ¥100 for washer, ¥100 for dryer for 15 mins, you can top up ¥100 for additional 15 mins. There are Family Mart and Lawson around the corner. I love that the hotel provides free good quality skin care and we can replenish it anytime as many as you want.

Not for people with disabilities

Not a good hotel for people with a walking/standing disability. There are no ramps or railings at the entrance. Infact, there are stairs without any railings and poor night time lighting. So if you have a walking impediment or require a wheelchair, then this is not the hotel to book. Air ventilation is poor so the room, during the winter, is very stuffy. They provide a humidifier/air purifier machine but it wasn't all that helpful. Crack open a window to let some fresh air in but if you're staying in the winter then make sure to keep your body and head warm at night. It was very cold since there's no thermostat for the rooms. They have a central air conditioner that runs but it was not working during the first 2 days of our stay. The elevator closes quickly so watch out for that. The front desk people were polite and nice. There were room/stay amenities at the lobby (e.g. toothpaste and toothbrushes, wash clothes, etc.). The room has very good shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The rooms with single beds were very small; they are only big enough for 1 person...maybe 2 people of smaller statures. I recommend booking the rooms with 2 beds if you want a normal sized room. The bathtub (at least the one in our single bed room) had, what feels like, a very flimsy bottom. I felt like I would break it if I stayed in the tub too long. The height between the floor to ceiling in the bathroom is shorter and you have to step over a small wall to get into the bathroom.

The hotel is well-located and the front desk reception were polite and helpful, however the bathroom smelt musty and the toilet was mouldy under the rim.

The air conditioner only had 3 temperature settings and was not very effective at cooling the room. Be careful with the lift doors as they tend to close prematurely and do not have sensors.

Cramped

We booked a semi-double room for the first night and a double room for the following three nights. Difference was minimal except for a slightly wider bed in the second room, but since the sizes of the rooms are the same the second room is even more cramped than the first. The room is clean but falls short of my expectation of Japanese standards. The water tank in the humidifier was left unfilled after it dried out after one night’s use. Reception staff are polite and speak reasonably good English
