A hotel right near Keisei Ueno Station.The front desk is polite, but a little slow.The interior design has a Showa era feel.Inconvenient compared to newer hotels, such as the location of electrical outlets. There is no hair dryer in the room, you can borrow it from the front desk. There is no refrigerator or clock.The thing I was most dissatisfied with was the shower temperature and water pressure in the bath. The temperature is unstable and the water pressure is too weak.Shampoo etc. are disposable type like samples.It can't be helped because the price is low.

I would have given this 3 star but the hotel staff was friendly and kind to us. They were also honest that they got the wrong fare.The room was comfortable but a little old. I highly recommend this hotel because it is also really cheap. It’s only 13,000 yen for a twin room. The ueno JR station is very close. There is also a zoo nearby. Bring your children here. They will like it.

TRULY RECOMMENDED! The price is affordable & cheaper than other hotels especially since it is near to 2 train stations (Keisei-Ueno 1min, Ueno station 5min). The room cleaning service is good and Mr. Kato & team are friendly too. My husband and I will visit Japan again and will definitely book Hotel Kangetsuso because of its strategic place & reasonable price. Arigatou gozaimasu Mr. Kato!!

I think this price is sufficient for this location.Shampoo and body soap are only available once,The faucet is not above the basin, so it is difficult to wash your hands.There are no gaps in the windows,The blanket looks like a student camp (lol),However, the location and the courteous customer service from the front desk staff were wonderful.You can rent chargers and hair dryers at the front desk.The room has an old-fashioned feel.Personally, I like things that have a sense of history, butI thought it was sufficient considering the price, location, and overall room.
