    Very close to the metro lines and ueno station. Easy to get there. The room was small, as expected anywhere in tokyo, but still clean. Basic but you get what you pay for

    The room was nice and comfortable. We liked very much the location and the Hostel is located in Ueno in a really good spot. The space was enough for 4 persons. Also there is some green tea provided which is really nice for the morning.
