As other reviews have said, the hotel room shows some signs of age. Our room's sink, for example, was not fully connected to the wall and sagged somewhat. The walls were also somewhat tired. That said, I have zero complaints about the cleanliness standards of the room or the quality and comfort of the beds and would think only someone truly fussy would be unable to look past these issues for a few nights. Though aged, the bathroom was spotless and the bedding was fresh and tidy. The sofas, chairs, and minifridge were new and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The area around the hotel is the real gem as the neighborhood is vivid. Temples dot every other corner, restaurants are abundant, and it is a short walk to Ueno Park (which contains the zoo and many great museums) as well as the famous Senso-ji temple and shopping arcade. The Tokyo Skytree was visible from our room's balcony and is a doable walk for most. It is also possible to walk from the hotel to Akihabara. Reaching the area from the airport is easy as the Skyliner stops at Ueno. If you come in from other cities via stations like Tokyo Station, it is easy to reach Ueno as it is a major stop (just be very careful to avoid rush hour!!!). That said, getting from the train station to the hotel is a bit of a walk with many suitcases, but the well designed and maintained Tokyo roads makes it easy enough.
