Since my friend lives near Ueno Station, I specifically booked a hotel here for my last few days to make it easier to meet up. The location is fantastic, and the front desk lady was super friendly and had a sweet smile. I really liked her! The first floor also offers free tea, soup, a microwave, and tables and chairs for dining. They don't provide daily housekeeping, but you can leave your trash and used towels outside your door each morning to get fresh ones. I think that's perfectly fine; we didn't have much trash to dispose of anyway. The bed was a bit too soft for me; the edges were high, and the middle sagged a bit, causing a slight incline. The hairdryer was quite loud and piercing. It would be perfect if they could improve those two things.

1⃣️First of all, it’s great to book such a good location at this price, and it’s the cherry blossom season. Ueno is only a few minutes’ walk away, and it’s not a hassle to bring large luggage. 2⃣️The size of the room is also very good, much larger than the previous booking, you can open a few luggages, the room with double bed next to it is also very good, the bathroom is very small, super small, and the shower is a small bathtub 3⃣️There is a small refrigerator in the room, but there is no free bottled water 4⃣️The more tasteless thing is... the room door lock is the key. You have to give the key to the front desk every time you go out, and return to the hotel at 1 am at the latest. Every time you buy good things and go back, it will be troublesome to hand over the keys repeatedly. 5⃣️It feels like folk customs. The owner has a microwave oven for use. You can buy a lot of food in the convenience store. There are vending machines in the corridor. 6⃣️I bring my own toiletries, the disposable quality is very bad
