Accommodation where we stayed for 4 nights and 5 daysUp to the 3rd floor is a hostel building for other purposes.Get off at Narita Airport, take the Skyliner, and walk for about 10 minutes from Ueno Station.There are many stations aroundDon Quijote 5 minutes away, Akihabara 10 minutes awayThere are convenience stores (Lawson, Seven, Family).We are staying with three people and even if we open each suitcase, there is still room.Bed is not uncomfortableReplace trash cans and bathroom mats every dayAir conditioning, two windowsEven if the bathroom is small, you can shorten the time by taking turns washing in the bathroom booth on the 4th floor.There is a washing machine and dryer on the 4th floor, and they are very popular at night, so you have to be careful.Free toothbrush and toothpaste provided. Free large towel provided.There is a small clothes dryer in the room, so you can dry towels and underwear, and they provide 3 basic hangers.There is water and a refrigerator on each floor, so you can write your name on it and post it.All the staff were friendly, and there were more staff who spoke English better than Japanese.Phew, I wrote it all. Highly recommended. Very highly recommended. Satisfied with this price and this quality. Very satisfied.

Foreigners often stay here.Foreigners are gathering and taking roll call so as to block the sidewalk in front of us, causing a nuisance to local residents and pedestrians.If you are taking guests on an overseas tour, etc., be sure to properly explain your manners to them.It's really disturbing.

The hotel is very conveniently located, near Keisei Ueno station on the Skyliner rapid train line from Narita airport, near Yushima subway station on the Chiyoda line. The Ueno area has many eateries, convenience stores, and duty-free supermarkets such as Don Quijote, Matsumoto, and Ameyoko shopping area. From the 4th to 8th floors of the building is the hotel. The hotel is clean, the room is relatively large. The kitchen on the 4th floor is very spacious, with a microwave, induction cooker, dishes, sink, dining table. There are 2 coin-operated washing machines and 2 dryers. There is no refrigerator in the room, but each floor has a shared refrigerator. The receptionist is very friendly and enthusiastic. If I have the opportunity to return to Tokyo, I will rent this hotel.
