Candeo Hotels Ueno Park

Very average. The hotel is overpriced and not much bigger in size. The facilities are quite old, so I wouldn't recommend it at all. For the same price, you'd be better off staying at a newer and nicer hotel—it would be much more comfortable.

The transportation is quite convenient, very close to Ueno Station. It's also super close to the Tokyo National Museum. There are many restaurants nearby, and I heard the Chinese food is quite good. Overall, it's acceptable for its location and value for money.

Hygiene: Quite clean. Bottled water and towels were replenished daily, and trash was emptied. You can also request a full room cleaning. Environment: High floor, very quiet. You can hear the tram late at night when it's very still. There's a Hanoi-ya restaurant downstairs, McDonald's, a convenience store, and Don Quijote near the North Exit. The South Exit has an elevator. Plenty of dining options nearby. It's close to the station, so overall it's quite convenient. Service: Many foreign staff at the front desk, all warm and friendly. The cleaning staff were polite. Luggage storage is available. Facilities: The door lock uses a physical key, which you're asked to leave at the front desk. I suppose some people carry it, but it's quite heavy and would be a hassle if lost. If you're going out separately from your companion, leaving it at the front desk is more convenient. The air conditioning is quite new, powerful, and quiet. The room is generally spacious, especially the bathroom. There's a refrigerator and a TV. Disposable amenities are available next to the front desk, and the bath salts were a nice touch. You can use the room's cups to get coffee. I also requested an extra pillow.

Conveniently located on the Yamanote Line, this hotel is affordable and perfect for visiting the museums and art galleries in Ueno. While the rooms are a bit old, they are quiet and clean. Breakfast is decent too. It's just a few minutes' walk from that JR station (the name is hard to type in both Chinese and Japanese). After exiting the station and going down the stairs, you'll pass a standing-style yakitori (grilled skewer) shop that smells amazing, but I was too shy to go in alone. There's also a Yokohama Iekei ramen shop on the corner, which I think is run by Chinese people. The portions are huge; I ordered a standard bowl and was completely stuffed.

Staying in Tokyo, I once again booked the Hotel Park Side Tokyo Ueno. I really love this hotel! The service is warm and friendly, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the breakfast is rich with a wide variety of options. The hotel is also very close to both the JR station and the Hibiya subway station, making transportation incredibly convenient. Thumbs up!

Clean and tidy, with convenient transportation. Check-in was smooth, and even though they didn't speak Chinese, a translation app sorted everything out.

First off, the hotel service was great. The front desk staff were helpful and patient, and I even encountered a staff member who spoke Chinese, which was a huge plus. The overall environment is relatively quiet, but travelers with large luggage should be aware: after arriving at Uguisudani Station via the JK or JY lines, you can only exit through the North Exit to get to the hotel. There are no elevators between the platform and the exit, only very long stairs, which is quite inconvenient for those with big bags. If you don't have large luggage, you can confidently book here, as Uguisudani Station is very convenient. In terms of nearby amenities, it's very convenient. There's a FamilyMart and a 7-Eleven within a three-minute walk, and a Don Quijote within five minutes. Plus, there's a gyomu supermarket right downstairs, which is super handy. The facilities are a bit old, but the experience isn't lacking. The only downside is that they still use mechanical keys for the rooms and plastic cards for electricity. You have to leave your key at the front desk before heading out. However, if you put the 'please clean' sign outside, the hotel still provides full cleaning service. This is much better than many hotels that default to so-called 'ECO cleaning' (cleaning every three days). Also, the room size is not small for Tokyo standards, allowing you to easily open your luggage. Overall, highly recommended for travelers without large luggage.

A very good hotel, the room is quite spacious and the bed is comfortable.
