Room (single) was small but it was warm and had everything I needed, plus some unexpected extras (mini jug w/ green tea, robe & slippers, aircon unit, fridge, TV). The bathroom (private) was little, but it was clean and the shower had wonderful water pressure. Free computers and wifi in the lobby (I could get a weak connection in my... More

Stayed a week with a group of young adults. Staff is young and extremely friendly & helpful. The Oak has a community vibe in the lobby; met many travelers of all ages (including families) from around the world. Your choice of Japanese or Western style room: choose Japanese....after all, you're in Japan! Tatami mat + comforter = comfy. Clean &... More

My brother and I stayed here last December and had a really great time. We went down Ueno Station, following the direction from the hotel's website. It was a bit of a walk but easy to find. The hotel was small but it was very clean. We got the twin room with double decker beds. I was very happy to... More

We spent 3 nights in this hotel, but it could'nt have been better ! The room is small, but very well furnished (airdryer, tv, tea, fridge, razors, toothbrush, kimono). The hotel situation is very intersting, only 5min walk from the metro and 10min walks from the Ueno Railway station which is connected directly to the Narita Airport. There is a... More

We had a lovely stay in this hotel. Very cheap, in a perfect location, friendly staff and free wifi and computers - something we certainly took for granted as we found out this was a rare luxury on the rest of our travels!. The rooms are small - but that's Japan. They still have everything you need and the bed... More

Cheap and cheerful. I rated it ''very good'' because it is a great location for good price. A bit old and the smallest room I have found in Japan. It was the first room where I could reach the bathroom door, the phone, the tv (no remote needed) and the mini bar while lying in bed. There is a small... More

Amazingly inexpensive for a hotel in Tokyo, very near Asakusa. Hard to find, its off an alley. Bring a map. Near subway, 100yen stores, 99 yen stores, McD's. Basic rooms. Really tiny. Seriously tiny. If you choose a room with a bathroom ensuite, the bathroom rivals airline bathrooms for size, including the shower! But for an inexpensive stay in this... More

Located near Ueno Station and not far from Asakusa historical temple area, this hotel is ideal for the budget traveller. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are books you can borrow and take up to your room for the evening, a little kitchen with a microwave and stove in the common room. The rooms are small, but have all... More

Stayed here in Sept 2009 (not Sept 2010) for about 2 weeks. Have no problem communicating with the staff via email in English. When my partner and I first reached there, we were dragging our luggage all the way from the Ueno station for about 15mins, which we later found out that there is a nearest underground station is just...
