Hotel STAY&GO Iriyakita

What an amazing spot! Location: Very close (<5min) to subway, elevators on the iriya subway to help with traveller suitcases. Also prime location to Kappabashi (~10-15min) with multiple yummy bakeries and coffee shops nearby. Also 20ish min walk btw Ueno and Akihabara after that. Lota of great coffee and tea stores. Might avoid Sensoji food stalls (like to eat on the go) a lot of them overrated. Front desk: Staff spoke some English but very hospitable. They allow you to leave luggage for the day until 8pm which is when reception closes. Offer free wifi, cleaning ($), and water. Room space is a bit tight but I was able to open suitcases in a twin room at least. Moving around them was hard. Everything was pretty clean all in all, although beware the white Cons: the rooms are soundproof but the doors sure aren't. They have a note to be quiet at night but there are a few people who think they aren't that noisy. You can hear the opening and closing of the doors and elevator announcements. People talking also get through the door. Air con wind gust can get pretty cold and uncomfortable. Also light peaks through the window quite a bit so it feels hard to sleep in.

The people at the counter need to speak English much better. I can hardly understand what Yoko was saying and she showed us where the elevators were with a brush of her hand.

Super clean, affordable, and such kind & helpful staff! Has everything you need.
