Ueno First City Hotel

I've stayed at this hotel several times. Although it is a simple hotel, the location is great, very convenient to public transport and access to Narita airport. Room not large but adequate for 2 people. Bathroom has all amenities, air-conditioned room, fridge, tea making facilities, openable window for fresh air. Coin operated washing machine and dryer. Lovely cafe in lobby area serving good breakfast. Helpful staff. As we were there during Golden Week, no twin rooms available so had a double room instead. It was ok for us because we are not big people, but probably not suitable for tall, larger people. Twin room would be more comfortable rather than a double bed, even if for a couple.

I was able to book the room just right for my family, convinience stores are very near specially the familymart. Location wise, its about 300-400m walk to Okachimachi Station not too far or the Ueno Center. There is another station yushima nearer but we used it less. Kids loved the bathroom, first time to enjoy japanese size bathtub and it was surprisingly nice. Staff are nice, check in was fast, added 3500 yen for checking out late 1pm. There is airpurifier in the room, air conditioning is temp controlled. There are a lot of outlets for charging in the room about 6 outlets!

The staff was exceptionally nice and it was great to have a coin laundry machine, as well as a vending machine in the basement. You can see the room is old, but it's very neat and clean. We were provided with all the necessary sanitary products and even more than necessary. The restroom was modern and well working. Very convenient location regarding public transportation, including train connection with the airport (10 minute walk) and 2 metro stations (2 minutes to Yushima, 5 minutes to Ueno Hirokoji). If you want to have some fun time, there's a lot of karaoke around and it's just a short walk from Akihabara.

Traditional room was very nice, floor beds, great! Enough space when you move the bedding, just great change after our other experience with smaller rooms

Room was more spacious than I was expecting, with a comfortable bed and air conditioning. Everything was clean and the amenities were good such as kettle and fridge. It was a short walk from the nearest trains station, not far from Ueno Park and surrounded with good eateries and shops.
