Hotels in Ueno/Asakusa, Tokyo

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.

Hotel was centrally located, if you want to be in the asakusa, ueno, akihabara areas, very near subway, 3-5 mins walk, close to temples, restaurants and shopping in asakusa, hotel rooms were small which is a standard when in japan, but was clean and came with toiletries, they have luggage storage too and a lift, and view of the sky tree in some rooms, only con is the staff, not friendly or helpful, and they do not greet guests upon arrival, specially the lady at reception on morning shift, overall would stay here again when in tokyo.

best experience and stay with hotel. recommended! location was excellent . near to tourist spot area - sensoji temple. can just walk and strolling around . area was not so busy like shibuya and shinjuku. nice place to stay. check in check out was smooth. and ther also have luggae storage. train station was nearby. halal food was nearby. and convenience store also nearby. everything was perfect!

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.

Great location, room was good for the price. Sink in the bathroom was a bit small so the water would splash. Hair dryer wasn’t very clean.

Convenient transportation, comfortable environment, kind treatment, first-class service quality, I like the waiter at 22 o'clock on the evening of the 19th, high-quality service, I like it very much, I will come often, if there are more Taiwanese waiters, it is suitable, but the surrounding life is also very convenient, If I can, I will recommend my friends and family to come and stay. I hope to increase transportation for guests to use, which will make us move faster. This makes me feel at home and makes me very happy with this trip to Japan. I will bring my family or friends to Japan next time, thank you for your warm service.

Stayed here for 1 night. It was a clean, comfortable hotel and I would be happy to stay here again on my next visit. Pros: Location – very close to Ueno Station. Take the IRIYA exit and it’s a short 5 minute walk from there. There’s a convenience store (Lawson) that’s around the corner from the hotel to load up on any food/snacks/drinks. The surrounding area doesn’t offer much, so if you want nightlife you’ll need to walk 10-15 minutes towards the south of Ueno Station/Ueno Park. Reliable WIFI Night staff – friendly and efficient Luggage storage – they will hold your luggage after you check out while you go explore the city. Free coffee available in lobby Cons: Noise – hotel faces a busy street so I began hearing cars around 5am. Be sure to bring earplugs. AM staff – she didn’t seem to be the friendliest, maybe I caught her at a bad time. Tight space – room was pretty confined and had no closet. Also, they didn’t seem to have a room to store any luggage so it was all left out in the lobby. There’s not much space if you want to sit down and relax.

First of all I stayes at this hotel just for couple of bucks more than a capsule hotel. But this hotel is much more than that. Even if they say it is a small bed for 2 but not at all, of course not a king size bed but it was comfy for me and for my pregnant wife. Hotel staff is very kind and helpful like rest of the Japan and very clean and tidy room.

After staying, I will describe the good points and points I noticed. ■ Good points (1) It was a smoking room, which was helpful for smokers. (2) The location was great as FamilyMart was right in front of you and close to the station. (3) It was a hotel with a clean lobby. It was a reasonable room rate, so I imagined a miscellaneous atmosphere, but contrary to expectations, I was surprised at the clean hotel. (4) It was very good that the bath supplies (amenities, etc.) were not omitted. ■ Nothing to notice. Considering the room rate, I think it is a hotel that is quite satisfactory. Of course, it is not compared to a city hotel that costs tens of thousands of nights, but I think it will be a hotel with high satisfaction among business hotels that can stay for thousands of yen per night.

I have totally enjoyed it that was why I kept extending my stay during my vacation. In the beginning, I only tried one night and would transfer if I didnt like it - but obviously, I enjoyed it and stayed for a total of 5 days. Thank you for making my vacation wonderful!
