APA Hotel Ueno Ekimae

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful with check-in. They apparently understood that we were first-timers abroad. The best part was the location, as it was close to the station and had many halal restaurants nearby.

We stayed here for 5 amazing nights and it was superb. Everything was so perfect and will be on my top list hotel in Tokyo

This was the absolute perfect place to stay for our short Japan trip. Having gone to Japan for school/work/leisure multiple times, I have to say this was one of my best experiences at a hotel. The location is perfect, right by the JR Yamanote-sen and multiple Shinkansen stops. The Ginza and Hibiya lines are even closer. Ameyoko is just across the street and it's walking distance from the Ueno Park and Okachimachi. It was so easy to get to everywhere we needed to go because of the location. More importantly, however, the staff was exceptionally kind and accommodating. I mentioned in my initial message to the staff that I was most likely getting proposed to while there and asked if it was at all possible to get a nice room to celebrate the event. They went above and beyond and placed us on the 14th floor with a perfect view of the Skytree. I'll always remember that view fondly. Whether we needed tape or less towels or anything at all, the staff was ready to assist us. I am indebted to them for their generosity and their excellent service. For such an incredible price, you will be getting the best of the best at this hotel. I highly recommend it to anyone planning on staying Ueno/Tokyo.

I visit Japan regularly and having arrived in Tokyo this hotel is welcome pitstop that ticks all the boxes as a tourist. Clean, small rooms very thoughtfully designed with the traveller in mind. Despite other reviews stating that the air conditioning is centrally controlled throughout the property this is not the case. There is a control panel built in to the bed headboard, and along with the room lighting dimmer switches there is a touch panel that controls the in-room temperature and air-conditioning fan speed. Breakfast buffet is fine, served in a small Izakaya attached to reception. Will stay again.

Good location, very helpful staff, very small room, but I knew this when I reserved. Breakfast was just okay, had much better at other hotels. Would stay again, but only for 1 night like we did.
