What guests think

At Grids Tokyo Ueno Hotel&Hostel, travellers highlight a very convenient Ueno Station location, friendly staff who help with baggage and logistics, and generally clean rooms and shared bathrooms, while noting compact spaces typical of Tokyo budget stays.

Rooms are often tiny with limited storage or seating, and bed comfort is mixed, with some finding mattresses thin, firm, or worn; light sleepers may notice train noise. Shared facilities like showers and laundry are handy, but the first-floor common area can feel small and breakfast is basic with limited seating, especially when tour groups are present; some amenities such as towels or toiletries may incur fees. A practical choice for budget-minded travelers who prioritize access over frills.

Pros: enough room for a large party. My room had 5 beds and this amount of space for this many people is hard to come by in Tokyo. Cons: The restroom on the lobby area and the immediate kitchen area smelled like a dirty rag. Also, the toilet "rooms" on our floor were too small. They felt almost like airplane lavatories. I understand since this place is a "hostel" they need to separate the wash areas/showers/toilets, but they feel a bit cramped. Overall, I guess the pros for this place outweigh the cons. If you are looking for a decent-priced hotel for a large group, this is the place.

We were a family of 5 and lucked out with a private room for 6 with a private bathroom. Although small we made it work.it helped that we had an extra unused bed to lay out some luggage. We brought some string to hang our clothes. The laundry in the building helped us alot. We only did the breakfast once as we really wanted traidtional japanese food for breakfast but the buffet served bread, fruit and eggs with coffee. The location really worked for us.lots of resturants and shops close by and Ueno Station is just across the street. Would stay again

Overall, it’s not a hostel I would revisit or recommend. The first floor lobby/common area is really small, and barely any amenities except dining area… The room smells from day 1 and it hasn’t changed since. Also, they charge breakfast that serves egg and bread for 770yen, food was terrible and worse meal I had in Japan. Staffs is also not great at communicating, and they look at you like they have no idea what you’re talking about. The floor was suppose to be female only, and they noted that there might be male staff during cleaning hours from 11-4. That’s not true because I was getting ready with my roommate at around 9am, suddenly there was a male “staff” literally walking pass us… we were in shocked and it was not something we expected. From the hostel I stayed, this is NOT recommended!

We are a family of four with two teenage kids so we needed four beds. The dorm style living was great and very reasonably priced. The shared bathrooms were very clean and we'll kept and while the room is compact it was big enough for us as the room has a fifth bed area which could be used to sit and chill. I selected it based on proximity to the train station and while it close, the emarest entrance is a couple minutes away, you actually have to walk another 4-5 to get to the actual station entrance. Still not too bad but not as close as it seems on the map. Also the immediate surrounding area is devoid of anything so you have to walk back to the station to find restaurants and stuff. I'd still stay here again and the actual property is very good.

The hotel/hostel is a walking distance to JR station, very accessible to transportation and stores. The room is clean and well maintained.

We were really happy with our stay here that we stayed here both at the beginning of our trip and at the end when we came back to Tokyo before we flew back home. We were a family of 5 and lucky enough to book the private room for 6. We used the extra bed to lay out our suitcases. While there wasn't any place to sit except for our beds it provided us with a nice comfortable place to sleep after being out all day. We also liked hanging out on the main floor of the hotel if we wanted more room. Highly recommend this place! Glad we chose Ueno as our home base in Tokyo as transportation from the airport or anywhere in the city was so easy from there.

Grids Hotel + Hostel is in a great location for visiting Tokyo. Conveniently located across the street from Ueno Station and a very short walk to Ueno Park with the zoo and a lot of other attractions. Popular places like Akihabara and Asakusa are a very walkable distance away. The room we booked had 4 beds, an en-suite bathroom, and not much else more. It's a place to sleep but not big enough to just lounge around. There's no table, nor is there room for one. There is a kettle but no coffee mugs so plan ahead if you are a coffee drinker. The staff were incredible kind and welcoming. They held onto our luggage for us so we could go exploring prior to check-in.

Location is awesome. Unfortunately, the futon mattresses and pillows were very tired and worn and super uncomfortable hence my rating. I wasn’t expecting super comfortable it was a futon after all, but these were so worn out that it felt like sleeping in a hole, with mountains on both sides. I have spent many nights on a therma-rest and other futons, but these very much needed replacing. The breakfast was super basic and usually not enough space to even get at it or sit down as the hostel hosts large tour groups of young travellers. The room was clean and relatively quiet.
