The hotel is near Ueno station. This provided quick access to various train lines. The room had a universal plug. It worked well for charging my devices without needing an adapter. The cleaning service was consistent.. the room was tidy each day upon my request. I found the hot bath very relaxing after long days of walking.

The air conditioning system was difficult to adjust. I could not regulate the room temperature to my liking.

excellent locationhelpful luggageroom dust

i enjoyed a wonderful closeness to both ueno and keisei stations. it was simple to visit many places from there. i especially loved ameyoko market and the yummy food i discovered. the eco-friendly practices of the hotel were thoughtful. i appreciated them. it was helpful that the hotel stored my luggage before i checked in. i feel lucky because of it.

i noticed quite some dust in the room. i wished i was able to leave luggage overnight. i needed to revisit it the next day. it created some inconvenience for my travels.
