This Hotel is owned and managed by Korean. Just 5 min walking distance from Train station and this is very important point after whole day walking outside!
A lot of nice but cheap good restorants near to the hotel. Many convenience shops nearby as well.
No compliant on the room - clean room with reasonable price in Tokyo.
We stayed for 3 nights in mid November 2012, and found the hotel comfortable.
This was our first trip to Japan/Tokyo so had nothing to compare it with in that country.
It's getting towards Premier Lodge level in the UK, but quite tight for space (although sufficient for my wife & me). The main advantages are:
1. Good price - including simple breakfast (fruit juices/tea/coffee + toast or bagel or hot dog + soup)
2. Easy to get to from Narita by Keisei line (the station is about 500m from the hotel),
3. Ueno area itself - the market area and especially the park (we found the National Museum of art to be fantastic!),
4. Proximity to the subway for transport all around Tokyo.
Reception were very helpful, there are plenty eateries & bars nearby, so I'd recommend it.
We stayed here for 3 nights around end October, it was our second hotel in Tokyo (the first one being one close to Narita as we reached at night). With a direct connection from Narita on the keisei line (we paid only JPY 1000 per person, single transfer), very conveniently located and easy to find with some help from the locals. Hotel staff are polite and eager to assist even though it's always busy. Compared to the our other hotels in Tokyo/Kyoto the rooms were the nicest--clean, minimalist approach with all the basic amenities. Even though the room was compact the use of space was very good and typical Japanese standards :) always sterilized clean. We stayed on the 11th floor and had a nice view of the Tokyo skytree. Bathroom was spotless and I loved the japanese style bathtub--not long but deep perfect to sit in and the toiletries were refillable shisheido. Breakfast is simple yet adequate and I stuck to eating the hot dog breakfast everyday... it was pretty good for something included in the room price.Tokyo National museum is a 10 minutes walk and Akihabara is a slightly longer walk. There are many little restaurants and street-side eateries and a Sunkus convenience store. Ueno is also well connected to Asakusa, Imperial Palace, Tsukiji, Ginza by metro. We left the Shibuya-roppongi areas for our second hotel in Shinjuku. The annoying part about most Japanese hotels is that check out is at 10am and check in as late as 3pm, so the only option is to deposit one's baggage and come back later. Overall pleasant stay and given that tokyo can be super expensive this hotel is very very decently priced (JPY 8000/night).
We stayed here for 4 nights while in Tokyo. Great location for JR trains, Metros and to/from airport. Room is very nice, and breakfast is simple but fine. Free internet in lobby. Rooms are clean, and service is very good. Very good value for the money.
This hotel is in Ueno, right in the center of the shopping and eating places. Excellent location. With sub-way connection and close enough to the JR station for easy access to the airport. The cost of the hotel is reasonable. Rooms are clean, and one of the best things is that there is free internet in the lobby. Rooms are big relative to other hotel rooms in Japan. Staff are ok, not terribly friendly but not terribly bad also. Would use this hotel again for sure.
