First and foremost, the location is PERFECT. Right across the tracks and road from Ameyoko, so it's easy to dip out and hit an izakaya, start exploring, and grab something from several conbinis right at your doorstep. The view from the window was stunning -- you can see all the way to Shinjuku, and to the mountains when it's clear out. The condition of my room was a little worn in some places, but overall comfotable enough. When I checked in, they told me they had to clean my room's air conditioner the next day, and would be there to do so sometime between 8am-5pm. Since I was planning on getting up early and going out anyway, I didn't mind, but had I wanted to sleep in due to jet lag or something, that would have been stressful and inconvenient. Not sure why they couldn't have done it between the 10am checkout and 4pm check in on the day I arrived, but whatever. Other than that, everything was great, efficient, and did I mention the location was perfect? Just a short walk to Ueno or Okachimachi stations. I would stay here again for the ease, the convenience, and the view!
