APA Hotel Ueno Ekimae

APA Hotel Ueno Ekimae has an excellent location—just a short walk from Ueno and Keisei Stations, with easy access to most attractions and the airport. We stuck to nearby lines like the Ginza and Hibiya lines, but there are plenty of options to explore the city. The hotel is also close to Ameyoko Market, where we tried lots of tasty local food. There are some good, less touristy dining spots behind the hotel in the office area, though they can be a bit pricier. I really appreciated the hotel’s eco-friendly approach by not doing daily housekeeping. Fresh sheets are available every 3 nights, and towels are changed daily. We didn’t use the spa, but it was popular with other guests, especially in the evenings. I’ve heard it’s great for relaxing after a busy day. The hotel has a handy laundry facility with an app to track your washing and drying time. Plus, there’s a portable luggage scale, which saved us from packing one! Lastly, the hotel lets you store your luggage, which is great if you arrive early or leave late. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for its location, amenities, and sustainability efforts.

Room is small, but suitcases fit under the desk and bed. Nice view of Tokyo Skytree in the distance. The staff are lovely and beautiful, and helped me when i lost my key to the rooms. Fluent in english. Staff very kind to my little daughter, the hotel gives kids their own cute amenity bag! (But only 1 per stay, we booked for 5 nights). Unfortunately no swimming pool, but there is a nice public bath, they are very warm. There is a coin laundry at ground level but the room is very hot! Location is great for ameyokocho and ueno park. I preferred this area for families than akihabara. Ueno station is a 10min walk away. There is a subway station entrance about 1 minute from the hotel entrance (stairs only) so may as well walk above ground. Ice machine on level 2, i wish there were more on other levels.

Great location close to Ueno Station, Keisei Skyliner and Ameyoko Shopping area. Perfect location for exploring Tokyo and beyond. Rooms were clean, staff were friendly, overall a great value stay.

The rooms are a little small but ok for Tokyo. They have everything one needs. Towels and amenities such as toothbrush and instant coffee/tea are being restocked every day. The hotel is very clean and everyone was really nice. There is a western and a japanese style breakfast, I preferred the second. There was a variety to chose from in both styles. The Onsen was very nice, one pool inside, a small and a bigger one outside. A locker for your things in the changing room. They have four washing machines and four dryers, in the evening there are queues. We were able to store our luggage in the hotel after our Check-out to roam through the city a little more.

The hotel was clean, very convenient, helpful staff, very close to shopping, 7-11, restaurants and bars. Less than 5 minute walk to the train station and park. The room was small but worked perfectly for us. The bed, pillows and comforter were super comfortable, we had a queen size and the bed was plenty big enough for two Americans :-), there was a small desk, large tv, small fridge, deep bathtub. Robes were provided, towels, hair brush, tooth brushes with toothpaste, hair ties, cups, matcha tea powder, hair dryer, lotion, hand wash, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, razors. Spa was very nice on the 15th floor, had a large bath outside with a small teacup style tub, large bath inside, several showers plus a western shower. No tattoos allowed but front desk provided tattoo covers/stickers. Vending machines available for drinks. Washing machine was on the first floor, 500 yen to wash, 100 yen at a time to dry. There are tons of restaurants and shopping practically out the front door. We loved this location, bullet trains were available at the station as well as a JR office that issued our rail pass. We didn't eat at the restaurant - it looked good peeking in. :-)
