I've been staying here since May 11th and my first impression was great because it's quiet and the staff are friendly. It's about a 3-minute walk to the Shiriya exit of Ueno Station, a good 10 minutes to the Ginza Line ticket gates, and roughly 15 minutes if you're dragging luggage to the Skyliner. The lobby has coffee, tea, and robes available for guests, which is convenient. There's also a Lawson convenience store about a minute's walk towards the station from the hotel entrance, which is super handy. You can even buy Asahi draft beer there, which isn't available in Korea.
The automatic bidet is very comfortable to use, and there are plenty of towels, so I haven't had any inconveniences. However, I'm staying in a room facing the station. While it's nice to see the trains, the interior of the room is completely visible from the outside at night. From the path leading up to Ueno Park, you can see right into the hotel rooms. So, at night, it's best to pull the blinds all the way down or, like us, use large shopping bags to cover the window area. This way, you can still enjoy the outside view while maintaining some privacy inside the room. During the day, when the sun is bright, the room isn't visible at all.
The location is excellent. It's a 5-minute walk to the central fountain at Ueno Park. I highly recommend watching the fountain show at night.
