UENO STATION HOSTEL ORIENTAL 2 - Cater to Men

Stayed there again because i liked it so much. The staff seems to warm up to you once you've shown your face a few times.

Needed a place in a pinch, but ended up really liking the place. Showers, tubs, sauna were good. Bed was comfy. My belongings were safe. I usually stay in a proper hostel, but if you prefer a more genuine Japanese experience, this is a great choice.

Ok to stat

Overall, not a bad experience. A good deal for how affordable it was. It’s dated, but clean. There is a smoky smell, as others have mentioned, but not terrible, unless you’re particularly sensitive. I had to leave early due to a storm, so didn’t actually sleep here, but accommodations looked fine. Pretty spacious for a typical capsule style. It was definitely warm, though.

Great affordable accomadation, the only thing missing would be a fan / aircon. Other than that… great value for money

The place is very close to shopping , restaurants, parks and Ueno station.

Quite and clean. Restaurant and Market are all around hotel. New experience for traveller

This place is very close to subway station. You can find restaurant just outside the capsule hotel.

The place is worn out.

Excellent

Property is with smoke smell.

Good

Young staff can understand English and try their best to communicate with me very well. My stay was pleasant and comfortable in this hotel. Will visit this hotel again for my next visit to Tokyo.

It was good. But there was no shower room only japanese style bathroom.

Very convenient location, very good common bath

Worst place ever I stayed in Tokyo Japan, I choose it since all others places been booked over holiday weekend. And they double the price almost three time when regular price due there no other hotel. And is not clean and old. I booked in non smoking but smiling of my booked place is smoking. Don’t go with it

The only thing good about the place is it being close to Ueno Station, and plenty of izikayas and restaurants. The place is pretty disgusting! I'm no snob, and have travelled alot in the past 20 years, but here was something else. It's dirty, smelly, run down, and hasn't been cleaned properly in years. When it came to using the bathrooms I hated putting on the filthy sandals, and restored to the using the toilet a la Finch from American Pie. I requested a non-smoking capsule but at the end of the corridor was the smoking area so everything and everywhere smelt of cigarette smoke. Then there's the taps - I used bottled water to brush my teeth as I didn't want the water from the dirty taps coming into contact with my mouth! The sleeping capsule itself was stained yellow through nicotine, and there was a couple of ominous looking brown marks on the inside of the curtains, as well as dirt on the mirror. And to top it off the music (well, one song), a Spanish guitar style elevator tune, played in the reception/shower/locker area is on constant repeat, like some hellish groundhog say nightmare. I've complained to Hotels.com but have yet to receive a response. Classic. If I could have found somewhere else to stay on discovering how disgusting it is I would have, but alas it was a public holiday and most accommodation, aside 5* hotels, was booked up. It's not even cheap to stay!

Stay was great!

Great location. 5 minutes walk to Ueno JR subway station.

This capsule hotel is worth my tight budget as backpack traveler.
