The grilled salmon for breakfast was really delicious 🎵There was a lot of dust in the room between the TV and the wall. There is no outlook. When I opened the curtains, it was the wall of the building next door. Other than that I am generally satisfied.The food was delicious, so I would like to stay here again next time.

It's a bit small, but it's good for a solo trip to Tokyo. The price is cheap, it's close to the station, and there are many restaurants.

Friendly staff. The room is smallish but functional. I didn't try the breakfast but it didn't look value for money compared to what you can find within walking distance.

This was my first time in Japan, staying at Ueno First City Hotel for 5 nights. The hotel had great service, and the room was clean, comfortable, and very quiet.There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and there's also a convenience store. The location is excellent: just a 3-minute walk to the Tokyo Metro, 10 minutes to JR and Akihabara, and walking distance to PARCO_ya Ueno and Don Don Doki.The hotel also offers coin-operated laundry machines and dryers (though the dryer isn't very strong, so you might need to run it an extra cycle or two). They provide free toiletries specifically for women, and fresh towels and bathrobes are provided daily.Highly recommended!

Very good value for money. Small rooms, yes, but what I expected for semi-double rooms. Very clean, friendly staff, free luggage storage and the location is only minutes away from subway stations, restaurants and retail shops in Ueno.

This is a hotel with thieves. be careful.The hotel's response is also very upsetting.I didn't ask for money, I asked if there was a way to lock the door if a thief broke in, but they said to put a no cleaning sign on it.I asked again if there was a thief and there was no way to lock it, and they told me to go to the police station. It's so absurd.It's better than hurting someone, but I feel bad.
