Hotel Surroundings
The hotel is located near the downtown area of Ueno, close to the train station, and there are many restaurants, convenience stores and shops nearby. Although, the downtown area is near the hotel, it was quiet in the hotel. The hotel is also within walking distance to the zoo and Ueno Park, where many museums are located. You can enjoy sightseeing in Ueno.
It was about a 5 minute walk to Ameyoko.
Ueno Park Shinobazu Pond is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. I had a nice walk in the morning.

Staff and Guests
This is an apartment type hotel, so I did not have to check-in or check-out, but they kindly greeted me when I walked by. I did not see any other guests during my stay, but I can imagine families and small groups of people staying here.
