Hotels near National Museum of Nature and Science

It was a really good experience staying at Mimaru Tokyo Ueno Inaricho. It was unexpectedly quite spacious than I thought. Friendly staff that would assist you anytime, and they are efficient. Hotel cleanliness is also one of the amazing part of my stay. Best part will be the short distance to the nearest station, Inaricho (probably 5 mins). Amazing! This place is highly recommended! Cheers :)

Got a single, smoking room. Very nice room no complaints. My first time in Japan and this business hotel is located near a major train station, Nippori Station. Very convenient to travel to just about anywhere in Tokyo and to and from Narita Airport. Might be confusing at first to use their train and metro but then I have my best friend with me which is Google Maps and Japan Travel apps and it made my solo trip seamless when it comes to trasportation. Lot’s of restaurants nearby, convenient stores and drugstores that sells almost anything you might need. Yanaka Ginza, a quaint landmark in Tokyo is very near, about 15 mins walk from the hotel which I explored on the last day of my trip. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel because of its customer service and convenience, though as you have read in other reviews that the rooms are small, and it is, might need a lot of manuevering around for 2 people but over all it was good experience for me. Yes!! Just book this hotel 😀😀

Hotel Sardonyx is a business hotel located near both JR and Keisei Ueno Stations as well as Okachimachi and Ueno Stations on the Subway. This makes it a good base to do explorations within Tokyo or beyond Tokyo with the extensive JR network, making day trips to places like Yuzawa, Karuizawa and Saitama with the Tokyo Wide Pass very convenient. Located near Keisei Ueno Station also meant that you have easy access to Narita Airport via the Keisei Skyliner. Food-wise, there are plenty of options in the area and there are also major attractions like the Le Corbusier designed The National Museum of Western Art nearby as well as Ueno Zoo etc. I had a comfortable stay at the hotel, the shower water pressure is good and the bed is quite firm. The space isn't too tight either for a Tokyo hotel in the central area. In short, not bad for a hotel that is versatile as a base to explore Tokyo and beyond.

I would definitely recommend the APA Hotel Keisei Ueno-Ekimae to any traveler and I would stay there again. My single, non-smoking room was very small. However, it will not deter me from staying there again. The location is great! It is very convenient to travel to and from the Narita Airport via the Keisei Skyliner, The hotel was literally starring me in the face when I exited the back entrance of the Keisei Ueno station upon my arrival. This was excellent as I arrived at the hotel at night. Also, the JR station, with access to the Yamanote and other subway lines was extremely close, about a 3- 5 minute walk. It took no time (about 10- 15 minutes) to get to other areas of Tokyo for more sightseeing and fun. The Ueno Park, Ueno Zoo, many museums, shops, and restaurants are "right there." My room was clean and the bed felt good and soft (as I like it). The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, answered all of my questions, and were always smiling. The buffet breakfast and the meals at the restaurant that is attached to the hotel on the first floor is good as well.

Excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though I speak Japanese, they were very willing to speak English. The room was very comfortable and well-equipped and it had a very nice balcony. Something quite rare in Tokyo in my experience. The location was also a big plus. Near the major hub of Ueno Station (shops, restaurants) but also a few minutes away from Ueno Park (museums, exercise, nature).

The location of this hotel is unbeatable. only few metres from JR Ueno. You can go around Tokyo easily using JR Yamanote Line or Tokyo Metro. And also Skyline from/to Narita is very convenient. Spa at the hotel is excellent. Love it! We booked Standard Double with Extra Bed so we stayed at the main building. No need to cross the street for spa. The room size is 15 Sq.m is quite too fit for 3 adults but we can take. It's Tokyo room size. We will stay here again for sure. Forgot to mention Yakunuku restaurant at ground floor is delicious. You got to try. Set Lunch is 1200+ for wagyu it's very ok price. We also had a good time walking through Ueno park to National Museum of Nature and Science. It's a place you have to visit apart from Temples and Shopping. Well, to conclude my review, we do recommend this hotel.

Hotel is located less than 5 minutes walk from Hibiya line Ueno station. Room is quite new and its a bit small but still ok for Tokyo standard. very close to Ameyoko market where you can find plenty of Izakayas and lots of delicious food. Mini market very close also. It's good that hotel provided complimentary breakfast even though its only bakeries, but they were all excellent. We booked 2 rooms and total of 5 nights at the hotel. if you like to be close to all the happenings, this would be the right hotel for you. We would definetely come back to this hotel next time we are in Tokyo.. Thank you hotel Wing International for making our trip a memorable one..

I recently stayed 5 nights in early February. To begin with, the only "negative" about the Tokyo UenoHotel is the fact that it's a budget hotel in Tokyo, which means the rooms aren't very big, especially for a couple (but that's something you should expect in Tokyo I gather). That being said, I purposely chose this hotel because it wasn't as expensive as other places, and all in all, I was very happy with the choice, and it ended up being my favorite hotel during my whole Japan trip. First off, for those unsure about staying in Ueno versus the flashier neighborhoods, I was extremely happy with my decision to stay in Ueno. The neighborhood gave a certain ambiance that was a bit more working-class compared to the glitzy neighborhoods like Shinjuku or Shibuya. I appreciated that ambiance, as it kind of made the place feel like home. Ueno has a great location with easy access to the Keisei Skyler/Main Line to Narita Airport, the JR Yamanote line, the subway, etc. While Ueno is probably 25-30 minutes away on the Yamanote Line from Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya, etc., it's also quite close to other areas tourists will probably go: Asakusa, Tokyo Station, the Imperial Gardens, Tokyo Dome/Bunkyo Civic Center, etc. Ueno is also fun in it's own right with the market, restaurants, and park nearby. It is about a 10-minute walk from the trains to the hotel, but once you learn the backstreets, you'll realize you're also a bit closer to the Tokyo National Museum and northern end of Ueno Park. In terms of the room specifically, it was small, but the bed was adequate with a really thick and warm comforter. The bathroom had a stunning view of the Tokyo Skytree, and the shower was powerful and hot, which felt good after a long day of sightseeing. One final note, as others have mentioned, skip the breakfast and eat somewhere else nearby. All in all, I'd stay here again.

First time staying at this hotel and this style of room. Tatami is a special type of Japanese flooring, and I stayed in one of this rooms with Japanese blankets on the floor. As I was using a JR Pass for tourists, the closest station to the hotel was Nippori station of the Yamanote Line. The hotel itself is around 10 mins walk away from the west exit of the station, and I would suggest travelers to navigate using Google Maps the first time they are walking there. The room itself has a pretty spacious tatami area, but the baggage space available was quite crammed as I had quite a big luggage. 2 small pillows and a foldable table are available inside the room for those who wish to sit and chat in their own rooms or do some writing. Wifi is available, but there is no television in the room. No complains about the air-conditioning, and sleeping in the blankets on the comfortable flooring was actually not bad at all - I had a good night's rest. It was my first time living with shared bathrooms, and Sakura Hotel offered a great experience. The toilets are located separately from the sinks and the bathrooms, and both areas are very clean. The bathrooms, in particular, were larger than I previously imagined, and most travelers who are less fussy should be very satisfied with it. Hotel staff are very helpful and able to speak english. Breakfast is available at the cafeteria located at the first floor, but the selection is pretty poor. Coffee and miso soup are available, and toasted bread with jam is the only non-liquid item that is available for free. There are other better items on the menu, but they would cost you some yen. There is a high chance that other hotels within this price range might offer a better quality buffet breakfast. That being said, one good thing is that there are affordable restaurants in the vicinity (10-50m walk) nearby should you choose to have your breakfast outside of the hotel. This hotel would be among my considerations th

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. :)

I stayed here for 5 days as it is convenient to go to Ueno or Tokyo for shinkansen. The town of Ueno-Okachimachi is great for shopping both for fresh food (sashimi) and cheap cuisine and fashion. The hotel is a little bit behind the market zone so it is quiet at night. Hotel is clean inside and outside the room. Laundry service is available by 200 yen totally. The light in the room is yellow so it is not good for working inside at night. Staff is nice. Breakfast is not memorable and space to eat seems not enough during the crowded time (7 a.m.). The start time is 6:30 so I missed 2 breakfast 'cos I have to move in early morning. Comparing to cheap food outside, I'd better book without breakfast and eat outside.

In Ueno, there aren't many decent star rated hotels, this is one of the rare few. From Keisei skyline station (assuming you arrive at Narita airport), it's only a 10 minute walk, or a very short taxi ride (no more than 600 yen, or less). Hotel has room at decent size (for Japan), very clean, very helpful staffs at check in. Bed is comfortable with great pillow, room temperature can be adjusted by yourself. So it won't be to warm in winter like some other hotels in Japan with central air conditioning. Best thing is the location. Being in Ueno, you are in a very interesting part of Tokyo, with lots of choices for good food and some of the best bargain shopping in Tokyo. The nearby Ueno park is a great destination in itself for a full day of exploring, cheery blossom viewing, zoo with panda, art gallery, opera house, museums, several different temples to to boost. Ueno JR station is a great hub to explore the rest of Tokyo, metro train to nearby Akakusa. JR train to Tokyo for the bullet train etc. Going to and from the airport could not be easier, a straight 38 minute train ride only! Mistui garden is truly an ideal place to stay when in Tokyo for many reasons.

Hotel is perfect for a family of four - 4 comfy beds, kitchenette complete with all the accessories you would need to prepare light meals. Room is spotless and sanitary. The tub in the shower is amazing ang perfect for a soak after a tiring day of exploring the city! The staff has been very helpful from booking and assisting in early check in! Special mention to Bella at the front desk. Location is close to all restaurants, convenience stores and a 24hr grocery store. Very close to Ueno JR, Tokyo Metro and Skyliner and Ameyoko shopiing and eating destination! If you want a location that is quiet and away from the crowd this is the perfect location. Our stay in Mimaru will be remembered and we will definitely come back when we visit Tokyo again.

This is a great mix between a hostel and a hotel. The rooms are all private but they have shared bathrooms. This means that the price point is lower but the room quality and size are the same as a hotel. It's in a really great spot in Tokyo near Ueno Zoo, Ueno Park, National Museum and the Ameyoko Markets. They have a huge common area downstairs with tables, a giant TV, couches, an additional tatami room and an extremely well equipped kitchen. Basically everything you could ever want to cook your own food with 5 induction stovetops. The staff were all super friendly and helpful and all of them spoke fluent English. We had a 15 month old and all of the staff were very cheerful and always engaged her when they saw us. The front cafe area has travel books in multiple languages and you get one drink included in the price of your stay each day. All in all, an excellent place to stay especially if you have kids.

Hotel Parkside Hotel is facing the northern tip of Euno park; which offers loads of attractions such as lush greenery, a zoo, several museums and others. Right beside the park are malls, shops, market place, 24-hour convenient stores, shops and food places, girlie bars and a lot more. Actually, the perimeter of the hotel is a destination already in itself. About 3 minutes walk from the hotel was the nearest train station that brought us to various tourist destinations within Tokyo and nearby cities in just several minutes. The room assigned to us was generously sized, clean, smells good, provided with a comfortable bed and , toilet with a bath tub completed with necessary toiletries. All hotel staffs we had encounter with were helpful and respectful. Our room was religiously cleaned daily the entire 9 days we stayed. Making it a very nice place to go home to after a tiring day of leisure and fun.

This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel purely out of necessity, I rather reluctantly booked this for 3 nights thinking I was going to hate it but I had no other choice. This was one of the best hotel choices I've ever made whilst in Japan! This Capsule hotel is located right in the middle of Ueno's Ameyoko shopping street, a great little area to stay that is close to the subway. It has this great feeling of a day spa, with a nice big onset and sauna all part of the experience. There is a large TV room with these awesome leather lazy boy air chairs, and a separate quiet room with air chairs with personal tv's attached. There is also a massage facility on hand 24hrs a day (at extra cost) Food facilities are available through the use of vending machines which can pump out hot dogs, noodles, burgers and beer. The capsules themselves are pretty good; not uncomfortable but simply a place to sleep and nothing else. You must stay here even if only for one night if you come to Tokyo. The only warning I can give is that if you are a non-smoker you may be bothered by the smoking in the TV areas and changing rooms.

Honestly, for this price and location - you get more than you bargained for! I am thoroughly impressed with everything about this hotel. Good news for future travelers - they are renovating and upgrading the facade of the building. So everything feels fresh and new! Service may not be like a 5-star hotel, but they are nevertheless ready to help you with any questions you may have. A tip to women travelers, do take the women's amenities at check-in for the stipulated number of nights ;)

The hotel was not that easy to find and he had to ask several people for directions from Ueno Station. The surrounding area is very quiet and the hotel is located along a very small alley. The staff (an elderly couple) were very friendly and spoke fairly good English. The room is small but comfortable and warm. The hotel offers a home-cooked breakfast for Y600 but we had no time for it unfortunately. The internet is fast and there is a PC available to use for free plus free coffee too. Ueno Station is 5-10 mins away on foot and even better, Ueno Park where the Cherry Blossoms are as well as the Tokyo National Museum is just 3 mins away from the station. We didn't see many food options around but we admittedly did not get to visit the south side of Ueno.

Perfectly located (280m to Inaricho Station; 900m to Ueno station and thus, Ueno Park, Tokyo National Museum, Tokyo Science and Nature Museum, Ueno Zoo, Shinobazu Pond, etc.) so it was easy to get around. Quiet neighborhood with quaint houses and shrines. Plenty of convenience stores, groceries and restaurants nearby. Very clean and comfortable. We got a queen-sized bed for my family of three (seven year old). A wee bit tight but after a whole day of touring and commuting, we didn't really care haha. Pillows and mattresses were great. Room came with basic amenities: small ref with freezer, a desk, bedside panel to control lights, hot shower, bath tub, facial foam, shampoo, conditioner, and my favorite: pajamas! Our room was a bit small so can be a bit challenging if you have plenty of luggage (we had one large and two small). Staff is friendly and helpful. They loan out umbrellas on rainy days. Not for the traveler looking for amenities and facilities such as a gym or pool.

We were a group of 8 person (booked 4 rooms) stayed at the hotel for 2 nights mid December 2016 before going to mt. Fuji. Location is excellent! 5 mins walk from Keisie skyliner station, metro & Ueno JR station, lots of restaurants & 24 hours convenience stores nearby. Hotel staff is super helpful and very polite. Receptionist mostly can converse in English, there's a great guy who speaks fluent Chinese too. With the price we paid, as expected the hotel room is small but our double bed is comfortable. Bathroom is clean and has everything you need - including a heated toilet seat - excellent for winter!!! Before you enter the bedroom, there's a tiny wardrobe space with heater to dry your clothes. But be aware that you cannot open 2 big suitcase at the same time. Overall it's highly recommended and will return if i happen to stop by Ueno again.

I had a very good stay here. Perfect location - just a 3 minute walk from UEno JR station (Asakusa exit), yet it is quite enough at night and in the morning. I must say the hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. They let me keep a big baggage 1 day prior to check-in and after check-out. Also they are very welcoming and speak English quite well. The only thing I dislike is the stairs at the entrance of the hotel, making it hard to carry many/heavy baggage. But at the night I left the hotel, a male receptionist gave me a lift by taking my heavy baggage! Would definitely stay in this hotel again for the 2020 Olympic Games!

Staffs were polite and professional; not very fluent in English but good enough for us to understand. Very easy to access from Narita Airport (take Keisei Skyliner to Nippori OR Ueno Station, transfer to JR Line for Uguisudani Station and take the South exit. Hotel is literally around the corner from the train station, you can see it as you exit the train). The room isn't very big in general but being that it's Tokyo, it was big enough and had everything we needed including a nice bathtub. Location wasn't very busy and crowded, which we found to be quite nice after being swallowed up in the massive crowds in other areas of Tokyo. Nice walking distance to Tokyo National Museum (& tons of other museums), Ueno Zoo & Park and Ameyoko Shopping District. We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel but judging from our quick glances from outside as we passed by, the breakfast spread looked pretty decent. It looked like it was served buffet style and had a nice selection of dishes to choose from. There is a grocery store on the first floor and nice ramen shops and restaurants nearby. Cons: No wifi in room, only available in the hotel lobby on the 2nd floor. A little far from the very popular areas of Tokyo such as Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku (about 30 mins via train); however, this wasn't a big issue for us. Hotel was equipped with 2 washers and dryers; however, dryer was useless. After 3 cycles of drying with our clothes still completely wet, we decided to just lay out our clothes all over our room to dry. I suggest locating the nearest laundromat or using their laundry service (probably expensive) if you plan on staying long and need to get some things washed. =0)

We spent a wonderful time in Tokyo and this hotel was played an important role during the trip. I booked the hotel 6 months prior to the travel date via agoda and hotel management is aware of the booking. The hotel is allowed me to place my luggage at designated place as my flight was arrived in Tokyo at 7am in the morning (long before check in time) . Upon check in (also mentioned during booking time) we were reminded that some services need to be done ourselves (like exchange towels). The room was not big, good enough for 2 Asian adults and place to allocate things you shopped. Microwave oven, hair dryer, kettle, air conditioning and etc provided, no more no less. Environment : overall hotel environment is peace. We found no noise during our stay. Multiple convenient stores and restaurants around the hotel and within walking distance. Include the subway station too. We would like to come back again and this time will look for bigger room in Hotel Mystays.

my first time to stay in a very small room hotel. however my husband and i was amazed on how functional the room is. the layout of the room is exceptionally excellent. it is well lighted yet very cozy, very clean and compact. we were provided with all the things we needed during our stay. i love the small kitchen with a stove and some utensils. the hotel is also located in a very convenient and a very quiet place near the train station,convenient store and also close to shopping malls, museums,parks and the zoo. well recommended! .
