Ueno Hotels with Swimming Pool

"Our favorite place to stay in Tokyo. The staff is very nice, the food is fantastic at the buffet, and the location is perfect to the Ikebukuro train station, across the street. The amenities are replaced daily in each room and the rooms are always kept clean. We also love that the Airport Limousine stop is at the hotel so there in no need to walk anywhere else to catch it."

"Excellent, best idea ever to study at airport after a long, late night flight!"

"The Niwa Hotel is almost like an urban resort, tucked away on a quiet street about 7 minutes walk from the Suidobashi station. The hotel features Japanese style gardens on the first, third, and top floors. It serves free tea and coffee in the afternoon, and offers three large massage chairs. All of these help the guests to chill during a hot summer day, and take escape from the bustling and sometimes overwhelming city. There are also some drawbacks: the breakfast, charged at 4000 yens per person, does not taste as nice as I hoped. The room design is a little bit quirky. When the bathroom door is fully opened, it forms a choke point to the room’s foyer. Although a few trains go through the Suidobashi or the nearby Jimbocho stations, living closer to a transportation hub such as Shinjuku or Tokyo station would have been a better choice for us. "

"Highly recommend!"
