Hotels in Ueno/Asakusa, Tokyo

The location is good, just a 15-minute walk from metro stations. The environment is quiet with not too many restaurants and bars nearby. The rooms are also quite spacious. It's ideal for tourists who enjoy shopping and exploring on foot.

Be honest. I am initially not very happy about the hotel and can not put us in the same room within my 2 booking orders. But in an emergency medical situation with my wife, I can see their profession and exceed. This was really impressive. At the end of the day, we would even accept an extra cost for delaying the checkout. Overall, we are very happy with the staff and services.

I used Ueno Station Hostel Original 1 near Ueno Station while traveling to Tokyo, Japan last year. You can experience a Japanese hotel famous for its capsule hotel. There is a station right in front of it, so I recommend it to tourists who have to use public transportation. You can get off the subway late at night and enter the hostel safely. The inside of the hostel is really clean. You can see several employees cleaning up every morning. Discard them all and replace them with new pillows and blankets. I used the bathroom together but it was good to clean it up. I went on a trip in winter and walked around outside all day, so it was cold, but warm water came out of the bathroom, so it was good. There was a convenience store just downstairs, so when I was hungry at night, I could look back on my day of traveling by buying and eating food from the convenience store.

Great location. Right in the heart of things in Asakusa. Near food stalls, restaurants and a short walk to the temple at night, which may be the best time to be there. The hotel is well kept and if you get the rooms with views you can see the temple and Tokyo Skytree, Only downside is that it’s not as close to the railways as some. Not far but 10-15 minutes with luggage

Location close to station. 15 min walk to Senso-ji Temple. I stayed at lv. 9, can see she Skytree Tower at night, which a nice view. Bathroom and the romm bit, buy it's okay. Room a bit dusty on the bench, and when we want to use the electric kettle, it was dirty and have some mould, they need to be check thoroughly before guest check in. I dunno when the last time they clean the kettle. When we checked in, we asked if they can arrange transport luggage and they said yes, when we check out the other staff said they can't and direct us to closest Family Mart, so we have to rush to arrange the transport to the nearest family mart.

We were in the hotel for a week in March. The metro station is close to, the Ueno station (including direct connection to Narita Airport) 20 minutes walk. The rooms are small, there is no clothes box. However, the staff speaks English, breakfast is excellent (although pre-proportionate) and there are bath coats in the room. You should be better walking, for this is Akihabara and the Ueno Park with zoo and many temples to reach directly in 20-25 minutes walking.

Clean & cool vibe hostel. But the female receptionist was not friendly, her face kept frowning. Don't be a receptionist if you can't be friendly. Unlike the male receptionists, they are much friendlier. As for amenities, you can't get anything here, you have to buy everything and you can't use cash, you have to swipe a debit or credit card or use electronic money. Washing machine costs 300 yen, dryer 100 yen for 30 minutes. Be careful, there is a dryer that is damaged but not marked. I dried it twice, which means I put in a 200 yen coin, my clothes were still damp. Finally tried moving to another dryer, paid another 100 yen, then the clothes were dry. Oh yes, you also have to bring your own detergent, if you buy it at the hostel it costs 50 yen. Near the hostel there is also a coin laundry kiosk. There is a microwave, water heater, free drinking water is also provided. From the station it is also quite good, around 450 meters. After checking out, you can leave your suitcase, but you will be charged 200 yen per suitcase. And the limit is only until 23 pm according to the receptionist's working hours every day, 8 am - 23 pm

We stayed 5 nights in Standard Double room (Main building) on third floor. The hotel is very convenient, 3 mins walk to Ueno station, plenty of restaurant, cafes, shopping, convenient stores. Our room double bed on the side, with dressing table and 3 seated sofa, which give us plenty of room to sit and open the luggage. Bathroom with nice bathtub. We don't have heated toilet as it was not working, we try to call the front desk, leave a note on the bathroom door to the housekeeping, didn't get fixed during our 5 nights. Check in and front desk is located on 2nd floor, the public onsen, vending machines and smoking area is also on the same floor, not much privacy if you're wearing hotel robe and slipper for onsen or if you just want to have a smoke. If you are a light sleeper, please request the room on higher floor, it's very noisy on the street even after midnight and early morning because of the restaurants and bars, also we can hear the 2nd floor public onsen and water noise from our room in the middle of the night during our stay. Our booking included breakfast and due to covid 19, they don't served buffet, mainly served with japanese style and we can choose from rice or bread, they didn't change the menu and we have the same food every day, breakfast time is from 7am to 9am, my advise is there are plenty of cafes, not worth to pay top price for breakfast. Also the hotel have main building and annex building, and they are completely different place where annex building is around the corner on the side street. Centurion had several hotel in Ueno, make sure you have the correct address details. There is only one small lift (2 ppl with 2 luggage will fill the lift) for the whole hotel, we stayed during non peak season and quite often we were waiting some time for the lift, there was a note in the reception to encourage guests to use the stairs instead.

The hotel and room is nice even though the room design is a bit off with the washing basin right at the hotel door entry. Bed was comfortable. Room size is as expected of Tokyo, not much place for a big luggage. Location is about 10mins walk from the JR station and shopping streets. Overall a good stay.

Looking at the hotel's facade, i am bit unsure since it is a narrow building compare the others. The room is small, typical japanese hotel and bit stuffed since i traveled with husband and a baby. But we managed sleep one night without accident. But I'm not recommending sleep more than one night of you travel with baby and spouse in one bed. Anyway, the staff is polite and nice. They give me kids kit which a nice touch. Location is ok. 10 minutes away from the station. Price is reasonable.
