The Barn Tokyo Reviews

The room is nice and clean with a good size. The staffs are friendly and exceptional helpful. A lovely place to stay.

Comfortable and clean room. Nove service. Free coffee and bread for breakfast. Willing to stay again if I come to Tokyo again.

I love this hôtel so much. Thank you Rin for being the best host. Bed was super comfortable, shower was super new, atmospheric and consistent. And the location - couldn’t be more perfect! This was my second stat, and I know I am going to stay here without a doubt the next time I’m in Tokyo! Arigato gozaimasda!

Good location, close to Yinggu Station, convenient transportation, friendly and enthusiastic service staff, and comfortable room layout

The service attitude is very good. The room is big enough for two 29-inch suitcases (after unfolding them)

The room is clean and tidy, with a small refrigerator. The service at the counter is very good, and they also prepare coffee and snacks, which is very considerate.

It is very convenient to the subway station, and it takes about five minutes to walk to the Yamanote Line. The Skytree can be seen in the distance from a nearby alley. The room is larger than the average Japanese hotel.

The location is close to the subway, the service is excellent, and the room is relatively spacious for Japan. If you choose Ueno Hotel, you can’t miss it.

Again I can only echo what others have said, a brilliant find. Lovely welcoming staff. Fantastic location for getting around Tokyo and nice to go back to a small quiet street at night, I felt we were in a Japanese film set! Comfy beds, great to have coffee and snacks before heading out for the day. Cute little garden area at the back. Couldn't fault it and would definitely book again if I'm lucky enough to return to Tokyo!

My husband and I stayed at the Barn twice on our recent trip to Japan, coming in through Tokyo and then leaving again. Both stays were excellent! The rooms were big enough to navigate (especially for Japan!) and very clean. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. Laundry services are available (for a reasonable fee) and the hotel provides a few quick breakfast items (banana, small baked goods). We really appreciated the residential location of the hotel, as the quiet neighborhood was a welcome break from the hustle and bustle in other areas of Tokyo. The train stations nearby (JR ＜ 5min walk, Tokyo Metro ＜10 min walk) made it easy to get around, and there are some great restaurants in the area, as well as a Don Quixote and several convenience stores. Overall, excellent value for Tokyo - thank you to the staff for a wonderful stay!

I can’t really add anything different than the other reviewers, but wanted to recognize the excellent stay we had here. I wanted a hotel that would be a quiet respite and this delivered. The neighborhood is residential and quiet, but less than a 5 minute walk to the train station, which is on the Yamanote line. The rooms are big (for Japan), the beds are comfortable, the hotel is spotless and May and her family and staff were both warm and wonderful. Convenience stores, restaurants and a grocery store are all a short walk away (plus a Don Quixote was getting ready to open next to the train station in April 2024). We utilized their laundry services and late checkout, which were both very worth the nominal fees. I’m so glad I stumbled across The Barn Tokyo in Travel + Leisure’s roundup of best boutique hotels in Tokyo. I will definitely stay here again.

Really good value, small hotel in the Ueno area. As other reviewers have noted, the soundproofing of the rooms isn’t great but - for the price - it’s a comfortable, well equipped hotel. Staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option in the Ueno area of Tokyo I suspect you’d struggle to find better.

This hotel was in a really good location, being only a few minutes from the train station and a quick walk from Ueno Park. It was clean and comfortable! I did find the bathroom setup to be a bit unusual with the sink being next to the bed. The soundproofing in the hotel isn't fantastic due to the style of the hotel, which is completely understandable but worth noting. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful!

A great small boutique hotel in the heart of Ueno, Tokyo. Everything's great, from the location, room, facilities and the staff! They are all very hospitable, friendly, caring and very helpful! The room is very comfy and bigger than normal hotel rooms in Tokyo. And ultimately only 4 minutes walk to the train station! Will come back again for sure!
