Tokyo Ueno New Izu Hotel

The staff is so kind, friendly, and accommodating. I felt very well cared for during my stay! There’s a Lawson (convenience store) directly next door for quick meals, and a JR Station is just a short walk away! It’s a super convenient place to stay. Modest, but when you’re out and about all day, all you need is a place to touch down at night before heading out again. Perfect for a single busy traveler!

The shared bathroom experience wasn’t as horrible as I expected, but keep in mind that having a shared bathroom might mean the other person/people you’re sharing it with don’t have a great sense of bathroom etiquette. Depending on which exit you leave Ueno Station from, you might have to navigate up and down a lot of stairs to get to the hotel. This can be avoided if you know your way around (use the Asakusa exit to avoid stairs!) but keep that in mind if you’re using a wheelchair/mobility aid or dragging a lot of luggage around.

Perfect location to explore Tokyo from, very close to a large train station as well as lots of things to see in the surrounding area. Rooms were nice and clean, bed was comfortable.

Rooms were a little small but that is to be expected in Japan.

The location of the hotel was within 10mins walk from the Ueno Station, and the route was much easier with an elevator access to the train station underground. It had been a breeze for us and our 8 year old son and 4 luggages! The Japanese room was considered very spacious for one in Tokyo and within such a good rate. Everything was simple and neat, we enjoyed our privacy at the hotel and the staff was most helpful with us leaving our luggages with them before and after check-in/out.

The hotel may look rather old and the facilities may look a bit worn.
