Hotel Villa Fontaine Ueno

2 adults and 2 teen, on vacation, in two economy twin rooms. Rooms were small as expected but very comfortable (comfortable beds, good shower, quiet). Breakfast was fine - added value and convenience. Location - few minutes to subway. Many restaurants close by, but real central area (like around Ueno station) is further off.

I booked this hotel as a last minute effort to find a place so I was mostly concerned with the price range. The room is average size for Japanese hotels (much smaller than western hotel rooms of the same price) The showers are decent size but the sink and the counter is tiny. They have very basic towel service (one body towel and one face towel). I don' t think they wash their bed linens every stay either. The staff speaks very very basic english in the evening. There is breakfast included in your stay, but it's just a simple assortment some basic breads, some little sausages, salad (don't ask me why), hard boiled eggs (no other way), white rice, coffee, milk, orange juice and tea. It's a far walk from the JR railway station (maybe 10-15min) and a short walk from a metro line. I only stayed here because of my urgent need, I wouldn't go back.

very good on all levels the staff the location and the room size and the facilities .

We found this hotel to meet or exceed our expectations. It is located near the JR Yamanote line, and within walking distance from the Ueno station. All in all was very pleased with the price and the level of services which included a breakfast buffet. We would highly recommend this hotel to our family and friends. If you don't mind a very firm bed, this is a great hotel.

this hotel was ok. small room but clean and service ok. not sure if i would use again but was reasonable with everything

For the best priced hotel in tokyo, I will be back! The rooms and free breakfast arent much but for the price there isnt any better. The hotel reception went out of their way to help me, they even helped me translate a letter into japanese. Ueno can seem quite far away from tokyo central but it only takes 15 minutes on the subway to most places.

A littie far from JR station (10~15 min)

以前宿泊した時より、部屋が狭く、朝食も質が落ちていた。

Good location near the JR train loop. Lovely staff, only problem is that you can smoke near where you are having breakfast. Would recommend hotel.
