Hotel Resol Ueno

Hotel Resol is directly opposite Ueno train station and is so convenient as I was using trains everyday to move around Tokyo. Ueno park is only a 10 min walk across the green overpass coming out close to the museums. The room was a good size for Tokyo standards, very clean and has everything you need for a short Tokyo stay. The bed and pillow were comfortable and the room very clean. I don't mind not having the room cleaned everyday, I don't live like a pig so keeping it clean is easy and I welcomed the fact that no one was entering the room while I was away. You leave your rubbish and used towels outside the room for pickup that day and collect fresh towels and rubbish bag from reception as required, a great system! Staff were friendly and helpful with any questions I had. I felt this stay was value for money for me, a great location from which to explore Tokyo.

The hotel 'ticks all the boxes' of what I needed for a short stay: - Clean and tidy - Quiet and peaceful - Very comfortable bed and bedding - Excellent wifi - Close access to public transport - Helpful and attentive staff - Stylish and modern design and overall peaceful atmosphere

Part of a chain of hotels, the very modern Resol Ueno is perfectly located a 2 minute walk from Ueno station (where the Skyliner Express from Narita Airport terminates) and so makes for a great place to land for your first night(s) in Japan. Ask Tourist Information at the station for help navigating your way out. As with all Tokyo hotels, the room was very small, but it was super clean and had all I needed - though I think I would have felt claustrophobic if I had been sharing with another person. Don’t expect cupboard space, again as per usual. Do expect pyjamas and full size shampoo and body wash bottles. Other amenities, including chargers, kettles and irons, are available from the reception area downstairs. There’s absolutely no need to order the breakfast options as there are so many great places to eat at in and around the station including a European style bakery. I appreciated the small lounge area which had both adequately comfortable seating and a breakfast bar type arrangement with charging points. The staff were super friendly and helpful - especially when I fell ill on day 4 - and at least one person on reception at any time spoke reasonsable English.

The front desk was very friendly and polite. Great value for the money with generous amount of amenities. The free water bottle in the fridge really helped and the bath salt was amazing. I enjoyed the breakfast. It was delicious and the right amount.

Location is very convenient: next to major train and subway stations, plenty of restaurants nearby within a few minutes walking, next to major shopping areas, next to Ueno park, a great park etc. While the room was small, it’s exceptionally clean and quiet. The heat and cool system works effectively and quietly. The water pressure is very strong; hot water is plentiful. The bathroom is very warm. The Japanese style toilet with bidet works great. Free coffee (drip filter packets) and other amenities are plenty. Compared to two other hotels nearby (one much higher priced and one lower priced) that we had stayed, we definitely would come back first to Hotel Resol Ueno.
