Small but clean and nice hotel”

We chose this hotel because it's near the Ueno Station (8 min. walk) and Keisei Line/Sky Liner (12 min. walk) and the price was reasonable in spite of the date when we booked it. We had a smooth and fast transactions when we checked-in and checked-out. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. There's no time that we didn't see them not smiling. Our room is always clean and they really won't disturbed you until you remove or they didn't see the "do not disturb" sign on your door. There are convenient stores and vendo machines near the hotel. There's also a vendo machine, ice rack and microwave available in hotel's lobby and an iron board on each floor, near the elevator. The only thing the negative that I can say or think of is the size of the room. It's a small room (but I guess that's a normal in a Japanese hotels) so if you have big luggage, you'll have a problem with the space. But over-all, my friends and I had a great stay at APA Hotel Ueno-Ekimae. :)

Excellent service”

I'd made reservation at APA Hotel Ueno Ekimae, thinking it was APA Hotel Keisei Ueno Ekimae. I didn't realise until I checked into the latter. The staff at both hotels are professional, empathetic, patient and polite. They had made my stay with my mum as pleasant and comfortable as possible, despite the mistake I made. Mr Takeuchi, Ms Sakama, Ms Mira at the former; and Ms Miyeshita in the latter had gone beyond their code of conduct and stretch their limits to assist us with our requests. They are all very thoughtful and helpful, especially Mr Takeuchi, who was always there when we needed assistant. He seemed to be on 24-hr shift as he was always available at the counter. My mum and I are really grateful to be served by all at APA Hotel, who had made our stay really comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you all for your effort!

Fall in Ueno”

The hotel is about a ten minute walk through several streets next to the station. It's surrounded by small restaurants. The staff was accomodating and friendly - even loaned us free umbrellas. The breakfasts was great for the price as well. Highly recommend this APA hotel rather than the one further away from the RR. This hotel is also very close to the Ueno Park and shopping street malls.

Exceptional”

Booked two rooms at last minute due to Shingashen seating availability. Arrived APA Ueno ekimai very late at night, staff was a very friendly young man from Sapporo. The rooms were small but clean, enough for our usage. APA hotel offer good service, clean room and reasonable good location. Highly recommended.

If you prefer privacy”

Small room but very cozy and nice. All facilities like refrigerator, hairdryer, hot tub bath and shower, bath robe are all in a room. Don't need to bring towel and shower equipment form home. Shampoo and soap are from Shiseido. If you are a person who prefers privacy, this is the place you should stay in. 7 minutes walk to Ueno Station. Across the street, there is a convenient store you can go to if you urgently need something. I definitely choose APA chain hotels whenever I visit Japan next time.

Not bad but a little bit expensive”

I stayed for 2 days, on business. Although the hotel is called "Ekimae" it is stretching it a bit as it's about a 10 minute walk from the normal exits from Ueno station. Those wanting to be closer to the park should probably consider the APA Kesei Ekimae hotel. Having said that, the hotel was very quiet and the rooms very clean. For the price, the room was a bit on the small side. There are better deals in Tokyo (even in Ueno), but I don't really have any complaints. The staff was pleasant for the most part, but often the front desk was unattended.

Decent Stay, Short Walk to Central Ueno”

This hotel was a short walk from Ueno station, Skyliner station, & Ameyoko market (approximately 10 minutes). The hotel was quite nice, clean, and impressive APA standard with full set Shiseido amenities, which we consider a plus. Also, breakfast was decent enough to fill us up nicely in the morning. Though the room was tinier than we expected at first, we got used to it (since most hotel rooms in Tokyo are small!!).

Ok but Not the breakfast Area ”

The rooms are ok the staff are so good ... but breakfast hmmmm its Only tila 9:30am after that its close, no place To hang around and rest your tired feet before going UP To your Room and rest . The hotel is good for sleeping and accessible To busy area OF Ueno... but Not comfortable To habe breakfast or To eat or To just hang around take your time To rest because the only Restaurant or area they have at the lobby is always closed. Perhaps this should be consider that Not All travellers just sleep ON hotel, most are like ME too Who loves To hang around take time have Coffee enjoy the day enjoy the ambiance OF the hotel where am staying . Just Two Cents OF my thoughts.

Excellent”

The staff are very helpful and polite. Facilities in the hotel is variety, sometimes the guests have to read the information carefully. The maid tidied our room really clean and well organized. Definitely we will visit APA Ueno Ekimae again in the near future.

When Airbnb did not meet my expectations”

Initially I booked an apartment from Airbnb near Ueno, however, the heater failed to work and it was so cold my family and I had to move out. Thankfully we managed to find a room at APA Hotel Ueno Ekimae. Even though it is slightly far from the station, it is still considered convenient. With many shops and restaurants around it!

Clean - cheap - very small”

Hotel was very clean. They have only 1 elevator for all 13 floors so some mornings so plan accordingly if you are trying leave during the morning rush. The rooms are extremely small - the bed touches the wall on 3 sides and the 4th side didn't really have enough room to fully open my suitcase. That being said, it's convenient to Ueno station which can quickly get you anywhere of interest in the city. The windows have good sound insulation, although you should be aware they don't enable air conditioning during winter months - we ended up having to open the window to cool down the room.

Great value”

Good location, very clean. Friendly staff. If first time staying in Tokyo then room will probably be very small but this is the standard size unless you wish to spend a great deal more. Easy access to Ueno station and Uneo park

Not bad”

The overall experience is not bad. One thing to take note is that the name of the hotel can be a little misleading about the location. There are two APA hotels under UENO. One is Keisei UENO and this hotel is UENO EKIMAE which mean infront of station. Not expecting it to be literally infront of the station but it is a little far from UENO station. It took about 10mins walk with a huge luggage. Other than this, everything is great!

Best modern hotel”

The hotel is nearly from the Ueno station(just walk around 10 min to the station). Thehotel is very clean and look nice. It decorate with the modern style. Cons: the room is too small, not good for the traveller who have a big luggage(really hard to open and mange your stuffs in the luggage). Sum: it's good for everyone who want a cheap and good hotel but should concern about your luggage size.

Similar to last year”

The formula still applied to my second stay with APA hotels. Tiny room as expected. Pros: Check out is at 11:00 versus 10:00. Refrigerator in room. Lots of restaurants nearby. Maruetsu supermarket is 24 HR nearby. Microwave in lobby. Walking distance to three subway & two train stations. Cons: No safe in room. Can not adjust climate control in room. Only one elevator! A bit dark & desolate in immediate area of hotel property at night.

Close to train station, friendly and helpful staff”

10 minutes walk from Ueno. Staff are great and room is always clean! There's a very big tv in the room which was great for watching the World Cup. They have a laundry service and as usual, the prices do add up for this service which I did not opt into. Would recommend!

New Hotel with nice and comfort bed. Large TV”

10 min walk from JR Ueno exit Iriya exit. Next to Tokyo Ueno hotel. Lots of food near hotel area. Room are comfortable with Large TV screen. Very new hotel..... will stay again.

Enjoyed My Stay”

I enjoyed my stay. It is a nice clean hotel and the check-in staff were very friendly. It is within easy walking distance to the Ueno train station. Even though it is close to a major highway I found the room very quiet. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again.

Great hotel with superb location”

Been stayed at this hotel for few nights. The room was very clean with lots of provided complimentary. The location is great jus a few mins walk from Ueno station - Iriya exit gate. Overall, will come back there again.

Hotel Ueno Eki Mae is not in front of the station”

This hotel is the standard APA: clean, small rooms, everything works. Convenient and easy. But this hotel in particular is a bit misleading as it is not exactly in the "front of the Ueno station" as its name implies. It is a little walk outside of the main Ueno area, rather than located in the very center of that bustling zone. For those willing to walk 15 minutes from the station, it's not a problem.
