At APA Hotel Ueno Ekiminami, guests widely praise the handy Ueno and Okachimachi location near stations, Ameyoko and eateries, while reporting compact rooms, generally clean spaces, and staff who are usually friendly, helpful and able to assist.

Common frustrations include centrally controlled heating and cooling, busy elevators, and a tight lobby with limited seating and visible luggage storage. Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, though several reviews mention dust under beds, occasional stains or odors, and sporadic maintenance issues.

There were only 2 elevators: not enough to carry people in the rush hours and not enough during the housekeeping hours (because those are also for house keeping staff' use) It's a good thing to have extra space under the mattress, but obviously they don't vacuum even once a week. Every corners in the room was dusty. I guess something makes them want to use black carpet. Hot water from shower was stinky for the first few minutes every time I used it. I believe something is going with their reservoir. Hotel staffs are rather overwhelmed with handling too many check-ins and check-outs than being friendly. Ample amenities provided. Nice location. VOD is free of charge. Fairly priced if I paid 2/3 of what I paid. I stayed for 5 nights from December 25, 2022.

Overall a decent stay. Small room, but for the price I won’t complain. The biggest drawback was the lack of lobby space to rest in while waiting for the check-in time. So you’ll have to walk around or stand outside to pass the time, which is annoying in the summer after a long flight.

For the location in centre of Ueno....FANTASTIC. Room great as wrre the staff. VERY congested with 40...50 pieces of luggage in the lobby over our 5 days which became problematic as it spills into the lift access area and entrance.

Spent four nights at the APA Hotel in Ueno in April. I had read about temperature issues and hoped it would be better in warmer weather, but the AC only ran briefly, and the room was too warm for my son and me to sleep comfortably. The room was small (expected) and generally well-equipped, but the TV was poorly placed and only worked via casting, which didn’t function with major streaming services on an iPhone. We ended up not using it. The hotel’s location is fantastic—lots of restaurants and shops right outside, close to Ueno and Okachimachi stations, and easy walking distance to Ueno Park and Asakusa. The biggest disappointment was the staff. While friendly, they were inconsistent in handling typical tourist questions. For example, two trainees recommended a luggage service that would leave me without bags for 1.5 days, while another staff member later suggested Airporter, which got my luggage to the next hotel the same day. I understand a trainee might not know about these services but expect that they would ask their colleagues. The lack of temperature control in the room means I would not stay here again but if this doesn't bother you, the location is great, room is small but well equipped and clean.

Hotel was nice, big enough room for one. Only thing is that the aircon is either set to hot or cold automatically, so one night I couldn’t make the room cool and the other night I was too cold but the aircon was set to cold and the staff couldn’t amend it. Other than that it’s good for a short stay.

The room was compact but well designed, so the space worked for 2 people for a short stay. Handy storage under the bed. The bed was very comfortable and the air con worked well (which was a huge bonus in the stifling August heat). Large TV and in-room kettle and fridge. Great city view and strong wifi. Bathroom was very small but was clean and had all the amenities you needed (shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, razors etc). Towels changed daily. The check in area was chaotic and full of cases being stored, so not the best first impression, but the rooms and staff were good. The location is excellent- less than a 5 minute walk from the train station and surrounded by plenty of bars and restaurants. Despite this, we had no issues with noise in our room (presumably because we were on a high floor).

Location is excellent, close to Ueno station for easy transfer to Shibuya, Shinjuku and Narita airport. Ameyoko street is nearby and Ueno park is within walking distance. The only I don’t like about this hotel is the staffs and the main reception area. They don’t have a proper storage room and bags are all around the area and it looks so unsightly and making the reception area cramped. The staffs are also too impersonal. They don’t really greet me upon arrival and lead to a self checking machine. I have to check in myself, scan my own passport n make credit card payments. Then they just hand me the room keys. They didn’t even offer to assist in the checkin.

Hotel is in a great area to explore Ueno, room is small but clean and manageable. TV options were appreciated, me and my wife enjoyed one of the Japanese dramas that was available subtitled.

Ueno Park and pond nearby. Older neighborhood, but perfect for budget traveller not needing the flash and glitz of say Shubuya or Shinjuku. The Beef Stand restaurant downstairs breakfast buffet was simple, but very convenient. Staff were efficient and friendly. Would easily stay here again on next visit.
