Hayashi Holidays

We liked that the room has a functional kitchen and a washer dryer. Although a 12 min walk to Ueno, it was flat. if one uses the Iriya Exit, it cuts a minute or two. Staff was courteous and professional. The downside, most properties that I’ve booked has 11 or 12nn check out time, this property has a 10am checkout.

Nice hotel, family room was spacious and had in unit Laundry. Employees were friendly and courteous. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location in a convenient, walkable neighborhood. About a 3-minute walk from a good grocery store and from train stations with access to the Yamanote, Ginza, Keihin–Tōhoku, and Hibiya lines. A pleasant 10-minute walk to Akihabara or to Ueno Park. Our room faced the rail lines, but noise was not a problem; the windows dampened the sound enough so that passing trains didn't disturb our sleep. We didn't hear any noise from other hotel guests either. It was a very quiet stay. The in-room kitchen and washer/dryer were extremely convenient. We had a "Deluxe Japanese" room, and it worked great for our family of 4 (adults slept in the beds and kids slept on futon mattresses on the tatami). It also helped things feel a little more authentic and local than an American-style hotel. Check-in and check-out were easy. The front desk staff spoke good English and were responsive to our needs. Everything was clean and pleasant. WiFi worked great. There are several other MONday hotels nearby with similar names, which can be confusing. There is a "hotel MONday Premium Ueno Okachimachi" (no "Apart") that is several blocks away, as well as a "MONday Apart Premium Ueno" (no "Okachimachi") and a "MONday Apart Ueno Shin-Okachimachi" (note the "Shin"). These are all different locations. Make sure to note the difference when booking and when traveling to the location. If you take a taxi, just give the taxi driver the exact address (Ueno 3-8-8) to avoid confusion.

I loved the location; the local area felt so clean, quiet, and close to multiple underground and Ueno main stations. Akihabara is literally 20 minutes down the road and was incredible, and Asakusa is 20 minutes the other way. Ueno itself was full of lovely little shops and nice places to eat. The local park was also lovely. The staff were exceptionally friendly, polite, and happy to help; anything we needed was not too much trouble, and I loved the design of the property. The apartment itself was great for us (a small family of three) with the washer/dryer, kitchen with a fridge/freezer, and bathroom. Our son loved the bath / shower combo and how deep the bath could get. The area is fantastic with a Lawson’s 2 minutes down the road; the staff there were friendly, particularly if you made the effort to ask for things in Japanese (quick Google before you go in). All in all - we'd stay again the next time we come to Tokyo (hopefully next year!)
