APA Hotel Ueno Hirokoji
"Great location, extremely helpful and polite staff. The restaurant was a bit pricey dns didn't offer too much in terms of breakfast food . Room was quite compact and the bathroom was tiny. That said it was comfortable and good enough for a few nights. Price was fantastic!"

Front desk staff ..."
