Positive Reviews
positive:
Great hotel in Tokyo on a budget
Guests loved the price of this hotel, as Tokyo hotels tend to be on the expensive side. The rooms are clean and well appointed. They have been refurbished recently. The Wi-Fi connection works great and guests described the hotel as quiet.
positive:
Nice neighbourhood close to subway
The neighbourhood offers many attractions and opportunities to go shopping or dine out which many guests found very convenient. Ueno Subway station is a five minute walk away, making it easy to explore other areas in Tokyo or hop on a train to Disney Toky
positive:
Very polite and friendly staff
Guests enjoyed the professional and friendly customer service in this hotel. The staff is also helpful if you need to get some ideas where to go or have general questions about Tokyo, for example public transportation.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Small rooms
Guests did not like the lack of storage space and the smallness of the rooms. However, most rooms in Tokyo will be much smaller than what you are used to from other cities, as real estate is very expensive here.
negative:
Not much choice in TV channels
Guests reported there is only one channel in English available, everything else is in Japanese, making the TV not really useful for an international traveller. Streaming online is an alternative for entertainment.
negative:
One elevator only
Guests had to wait at times to get on the single elevator that services the hotel, especially at check-out time. There is no stairway available as an alternative, which annoyed some guests.
