“Like a haiku, the Oak Hotel is basic & clean; convenient & friendly.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011 via mobile

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 & basic, each room has its own (teeny - this is Japan) bathroom. Great, safe neighborhood a very short walk to Ueno station, zoo, museum & other attractions. Lovely restaurants for all budgets nearby. Definitely recommend - good value!

“Highly Recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

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 discover that the room also had an electric water kettle.

The bathroom space was very small with a tub but it was really clean. They provided complete bathroom amenities. The rooms also have free wifi so it was a big +++ because we were able to check our emails at night.

They allowed us to leave our luggage with them when we checked out to spend a night in Disneyland. The reception staff was very helpful as well.

Overall, I would definitely stay here again. Two thumbs up!

“Tiny but very well furnished, excellent staff, free wifi”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011

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 wifi, and free computers on the ground floor and you can borrow modem to connect freely from the room.
There is also a lot of usefull information about tokyo avaiable in the ground floor, and a kitchen with a microwave, and a loundry machine.

But the best point of the hotel is the staff. Very nice and very helpfull. We were there during Halloween, and they organised a party with Korean food and drinks. We had a very pleasant evening, and the next day, they had printed out some pictures as a gift.

So, if you want a cheap (for tokyo) hotel with a friendly staff and all you can need is furnished, don't hesitate, go there :)

“Cheap but more than perfect for backpackers”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

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 was very comfy. You even get slippers and a kimono syle dressing gown. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for somewhere cheap to stay, I really couldn't fault it!

Room Tip: Get a japanese style room

“Great for those with JR Rail pass and looking for wi-fi”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

people found this review helpful

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 lobby where you can meet fellow travelers with wifi (a rare commodity in Japan) and public pc's, a micro wave and washing machine & dryer and soda and beer vending machines.

It's only 7 minute walk to Ueno station where you can hop on the JR circle line, high speed trains and several other metro lines. Also around the station there are great restaurants and bars, some night life and (decent) massage places.

If traveling solo and not in need for too much luxury this is a great bargain. Also try booking online as they seem to have better deals than when walking in.
