The Barn Tokyo

Spotless. It was great service. Thank you so much!

The staff are friendly also the facility is modern. However we were staying in first floor, the first night the person who was staying upstairs walking and moving stuff all night long. The noise was so loud we can’t even fall asleep untill they early check out. And next day morning, the staff was talking to the customer who were going to check out, and was talking so loud, I guess she didn’t know the soundproofing is not that good in the ground floor. We will say we didn’t get a good sleep in this place but the staff are friendly and the room is comfortable and clean.

The rooms are small and there is no other lounge area within the hotel to relax in The breakfast is terrible- banana’s and dry bread rolls with coffee that sits for hours and there is no communal space to eat in Staff on check in were more concerned about telling us the rules than welcoming us

Room was perfect, bed comfortable, lovely shower and amenities

The room is pleasant but small Staff on check in could be better

We had a great stay at The Barn Tokyo! We booked a queen room and there were plenty of space for us and our suitcases. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The room was very clean and quiet. The location is also convenient and close to the train station and easy to reach many tourist spots in Tokyo. Even though Ugsuidani is known as the love hotel district, the area was very safe and quiet and had a residential feel. We would stay in this area again in the future.

A modern hotel and the location is good. Staff are very friendly. For European standard the beds are small (140 cm for a double bed.) I didn’t sleep well at all. No breakfast. I think there are other hotels that would be a better choice.

Hands down, one of the best hotels we have stayed in! So lovely in every way, and it absolutely deserves the excellent reviews it receives! The place is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood, near train station and very centrally located. The staff is so kind and attentive, and we even did our laundry for a very reasonable price and they folded everything so nicely. They have nice little breakfast pastries and bananas. The room is immaculate, very tastefully decorated and the most comfortable bed. We had my 3 adult kids in one Queen room and with a futon, it had plenty of space. Such a lovely way to start our vacation, this is the best place you’ll find in Tokyo!

Very close to the Yamanote line so convenient to get around all of Tokyo. Safe neighbourhood with lots of restaurants and convenience stores within 10 minute walk. Spacious room by Japanese standards. Very good toilet and shower. AC in the room.

Nice little hotel in a nice neighbourhood. 5 min walk to the JR Yamamoto line. Very quiet and clean. Super friendly staff! No breakfast but they always had coffee, bananas and some bread for breakfast.

Great location near a train station. Staff incredibly friendly. Great value for money!

We loved our stay. Very warm welcome from our hosts who had lots of top tips for the area. Beds and bedding was lovely and very comfortable. The room was spacious by Japanese standards with space under the beds for luggage and other clever space saving ideas. 2 chairs and a little folding table were great. The area had a very local feel and was close to trains and Ueno Park which is amazing. Highly recommend the Barn and would definitely stay again.

Our stay here was quite uncomfortable. The building doesn’t feel like it has proper hotel infrastructure. We were asked not to walk heavily to avoid disturbing neighbors, but even the slightest movement caused noise — something we’ve never experienced in a hotel before. Some services were overpriced without offering anything special in return. The elevator broke on our last night and repairs were noisy throughout the night, which made it hard to sleep. Guests are also expected to resolve how to take out their own trash, which is unusual. In other hotels, staff at least provides clear instructions and handles disposal. The toiletries were among the worst we had during our trip. We’re not trying to leave a negative review just for the sake of it, but these are things that should be considered. Comfort should come before just offering a big bed. We gave stars mainly for the location, the friendly staff, and the spacious rooms.

A wonderful stay at this modern property with lovely, friendly owners. We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed every one. The surrounding area is a peaceful neighborhood with all the amenities including a large supermarket. Transit is simple with train, subway and bus lines all a short walk away. We strolled to Ueno park and the area around there most days - wonderful museums, restaurants and shops there. The room was well-appointed with a good size bathroom. We enjoyed the simple breakfast every day, using the frig to store yogurt etc. We found it a perfect place to enjoy Tokyo without being in huge crowds. Highly recommend!

Great hotel and such friendly staff. The rooms were excellent and more spacious than the pictures seemed. Walking distance to train station on Y line

Nice small (16 rooms) hotel. Friendly. Tidy. Location was really good; off the beaten track. Train station just 6min walk. We had an 84year old in our party and she managed wheel the case from the station! Had most things available in the room or in the small checkin area. Shoes off from entering and flip flops provided for the hotel. No problem. Couldn't forward on the luggage directly. Forms available and the need to go to local Lawson etc. But would take longer than we thought so didn't do that for our next leg to Kyoto. Be careful. Early morning trains are very very busy. Taking cases is an experience to Tokyo station for the Shikanshen. We managed thou, just had to skip a few trains.

Great location and rooms.

Staying at The Barn was a lovely experience. It was our first stop in Japan and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They really value cleanliness--I personally appreciated wearing slippers in the building rather than my shoes. The breakfast is a nice touch, plus coffee and tea in-room and in the lounge. We don't have enough nice things to say about this hotel and would definitely stay again.

I had a really great time at this hotel. Firstly, the staff is so polite, friendly and respectful. The room itself is so comfortable and spacious. Despite being a boutique hotel, the room was just as big, if not bigger than some big hotels in Tokyo. I also really liked their bathrobes, super comfy. One thing to note for foreign visitors is that you’re requested to take off your shoes at the entrance and store in a locker near the entrance. But they provide slippers to use which are quite comfortable. It was raining at the time and they provided umbrellas for use. The hotel also accommodated my request for a late check with minimal charge. It is located in a small neighborhood but very close to major train stations and tourist attractions in Ueno. I would visit again and recommend it to my friends as well.
