APA Hotel Ueno Inaricho Ekikita

Location: The hotel is located a 10-minute walk from the train station. While you can sometimes hear the emergency sirens, it is overall a quiet location. A supermarket, Daiso, and 7-Eleven are located just around the corner! Luggage storage: Luggage can be stored on the day of arrival and departure. Room: The room was spacious and comfortable enough for one person. The bed was high enough to store luggage underneath, and had space for two full suitcases! The desk also had enough room to put stuff on. My room had a view of the Tokyo Skytree, and so I was able to watch the Sumida River Fireworks Festival from my room! Cleaning: Cleaning is done every third day of your stay, and in between, you can leave your towels and trash outside your door for them to be replaced. But you can also request room cleaning if needed!

Generous amenities of toiletries and fresh towels delivered and placed outside room door if one does not wish to have room made up as a green measure. Plenty of big umbrellas for loan when the day is rainy or snowy. Also ready supply of hot and cold water with disposable cups at dispensing machine.

The bed was so comfortable, I slept in multiple times. The room was really nice, with plenty of space for a solo traveller. They provided pyjamas (which was a yukata type robe) and an amenity kit was placed on the door every morning. The location was great (at least for me). It really depends on what you want to focus on in Tokyo, but Inaricho station was only a 5 minute walk away, which gave you easy access to the Ginza line. Ueno station was approximately 15 minutes away, which really doesn’t feel as long as it sounds. That granted access to a plethora of convenient train lines, and I found it really easy to get to and from places. Shibuya and Shinjuku took ~40 minutes on the train to get to, which wasn’t a problem for me at all. Keisei Ueno station was also around a 15-20 minute walk away, which made it really convenient to get to Narita Airport after I checked out. Overall, I would really recommend this hotel. The room was very nice, and the location was great. They also held my luggage for me before I checked in and after I checked out.

The room was very comfortable. Although small, I thought it was also very smart, and I didn't feel it was cluttered at any point. Great sound isolation, and location was ok. It was a bit of a walk from the main Ueno and Asakusa areas, but the neighbourhood was nice, with lots of options to eat or shop. Very close to Kappabashi Kitchen Street, which is perfect for anyone looking to buy japanese knifes or kitchen supply.

The room is small by western standards, but was perfectly enough space. Lots of room to store luggage under the bed and there was a nice desk in the room. It was more than enough for me. The room and hotel were very clean. And the staff were great. The location was nice too. I bit off the main area, but it was quiet and there was a supermarket and Daiso right next to the hotel.
