HOTEL Guest1 Ueno Ekimae

I like the location of this accommodation. It's only a five-minute walk to the Ginza Line and very close to Skyliner Ueno Station. The water pressure in the bathroom is also strong, hot water comes quickly, and it's quiet at night.

Staff were amazing and spoke very good English they were also extremely helpful. Location, was excellent 5 mins walk from Ueno station, which I found beneficial for day trips. Room had everything I needed but was small, as is standard in Japan. Breakfast was different every day with many selections of home baked bread and varied breakfast menu, and staff were fabulous. I would definitely stay again as this Hotel was close to a lot of must-see attractions as well within walking distance. I also loved the white cotton nightdress left on my bed in my room and changed during the week, which was a lovely touch.

I have nothing but good things to say about my stay — the staff on the reception speaks good English, everyone is extremely nice, respectful and helpful! The whole hotel is impeccably clean. Breakfast offers a decent selection of both western and Japanese foods, and foods are rotated slightly every day. What is worth mentioning is its great location close to Ueno Station, which I think makes this hotel a great choice for travelers. Not only you can get anywhere in Tokyo very quickly, but if you know the way, you can leave the hotel and sit in Shinkansen in Tokyo Station in like 20 minutes. The nearest konbini is like 20 meters; very convenient indeed! And there is not only one, but two Don Quijote stores in the walking distance, which gave me an opportunity to overpack my luggage with souvenirs. Wi-Fi was quick and stable. Soap, shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom were really high quality and their fabric refreshener helped my clothes to stay fresh longer, which was highly appreciated in the scorching summer heat. You also can keep the luggage here if you need to leave later than the checkout is. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with my stay and I would definitely stay here the next time as well!

Really good little hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff who speak English and try their best to assist. Breakfast was included and pretty good - not much range but was good and a mix of hot and cold options. Nice view of the Skytree from the room. If you forgo room cleaning you can get a free drink - including beer varieties - for each day. Location was fantastic - 7/11s and Lawsons very close by. Just 2 minute walk to Ueno station or the yokicho with fantastic food.

The Location is pretty good. Hotel is a few minutes walk from JR Lines and the city Metro. The Narita Skyliner is also in close walking distance. Loads of stores around which are open till late night. Beds are quite comfy. Shower has very good water pressure. Breakfast was functional, refreshments are available in the lobby along with basic amenities stocked in the lobby itself. Do note that this is largely a business travelers hotel, so the cleaning service is available only every third day. This includes changing out bed linen and towels.
