APA Hotel Ueno Okachimachi Ekimae Minami

Great spot - some train noise as it's nearby the JR rail, but that's just white noise and very convenient for transportation. Hotel is clean, has everything you might need, and staff is friendly. The only suggestion I could make is to have more elevators (only one for the whole hotel, and while it is generally a bit slow given all the floors, at 10am checkout it is wildly congested, took about 5-10 min to finally catch it with room for us).

Great service

Dryer didn't dry clothes.

Everything is perfect

Good location. Walk to ueno and akihabara. Nice hotel

Very good location close to station and ueno market. Classic APA hotel, however the bathroom had a stuffy smell that would not go away despite using vent.

Location was excellent very close to the train station and plenty of places that are easily walkable from the hotel

Mycket prisvärd hotell som håller hög standard angående renlighet och underhåll. Detta hotell är belägen nära järnvägen (ringbanan) - man kan ta sig till sina destinationer snabbt, men det hörs i rummet när tåg passerar (uppehåll ca. 0:30-05:00).

The tv cast was nice, amenities were great, distance was not an issue, a lot of food and shopping options nearby under 10 min walk. There were a couple of things I did not enjoy during my stay. One has nothing to do with the hotel, but my neighbor on the first 3 or so night. At several intervals from 9pm to midnight or 6am next day, I’d hear screaming or yelling constantly. The walls are thin. The next couple things are about the hotel itself. They’re trying to be sustainable I understand, but having one elevator with 14 floors does not help at all. The elevator systems seems a little off too. I was on the fourth floor, going down to the first floor always took a long time. If someone on the 14th floor presses it, even after I press it, it’ll go up to the 14th floor first and will start picking up people on the way down. If it’s full by the time it gets to my floor, I have to wait till it gets down to the first floor. And then repeat. There was a time I waited 3 times with the elevator passing my floor before I could get out of the hotel. It was a terrible experience. Another thing is I like having ventilation in the room, I get hot easily. I like to have cool air moving throughout the room. However the hotel controls the temp of whether it’ll be on cool or heat. And as customers we can only control the temp degree and fan power. For the longest time, I did not turn on any fan because it was on heat and I stayed there for almost 2 weeks.

This APA Hotel is new and tastefully decorated. We booked a twin deluxe room and it was spacious with comfortable beds, a large TV and beautiful bathroom. What we didn’t like was the restaurant attached to the hotel - it is very basic and doesn’t complement the hotel. To enable us to order food we had to download an app and provide our personal information. We resented that invasion of our privacy so we could simply order a meal. They weren’t interested in taking an order in person, the good old fashioned way. We walked out and went elsewhere where we could get straightforward service.

Excellent hotel I will use it next time I visit Tokyo

Only one elevator and one staff member is unacceptable for the rates and how much business this hotel gets.

Need more water to drink if possible.

close to train station, close to restaurants, close to attractions, neat and clean

Hotel name doesn’t appear on Google Maps, so our taxi driver had difficulty finding it. Phone number on booking reservation connected to a different APA hotel. However, check-in was smooth and easy on arrival. Rooms were small, which meant that it got warm really easily. Air Con is a must, the windows do not open. Cleaning was done every third day of our stay. The only issue we had was during of one of those cleaning days, our room was still being cleaned at 1pm. This was a slight inconvenience as it was a warm and humid day, and we wanted to recuperate in our room. It’s close to train stations, and it’s located in a quiet street away from the noise of the surrounding cities. As long as you’re okay with hearing trains pass by your window, this is a good starting point for exploring Tokyo.

Air-condishoner did not work for warmer tenparature.

Great location, comfortable bed and well equipped clean room

Convenient, clean, safe, reasonably priced

很乾淨的飯店，地點很好

Overall good stay in Ueno for the first couple nights to get acclimated to Tokyo. Ueno is very convenient when it comes to transportation since it links with both the Skyliner/JR lines/Local lines.
