Okachimachi train & metro, Ueno Park close.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Small rooms, hard beds
The rooms on offer here were said to be small, something which guests said was rather typical in Tokyo. Furthermore, the beds were thought to be hard by many who stayed, and some pillows were described as being filled with beans or other small round objects.
negative:
English-language TV choice not best.
A small number of those who stayed were a little unhappy with the choice of English-speaking TV channels on offer, with this apparently being limited to a news channel, and the paid TV selection reportedly not offering a large range.
negative:
No further issues.
So far, no further negative opinions have been expressed by the guests about this hotel.
