We stayed 5 nights in Standard Double room (Main building) on third floor.||The hotel is very convenient, 3 mins walk to Ueno station, plenty of restaurant, cafes, shopping, convenient stores.||Our room double bed on the side, with dressing table and 3 seated sofa, which give us plenty of room to sit and open the luggage.||Bathroom with nice bathtub. We don't have heated toilet as it was not working, we try to call the front desk, leave a note on the bathroom door to the housekeeping, didn't get fixed during our 5 nights.||Check in and front desk is located on 2nd floor, the public onsen, vending machines and smoking area is also on the same floor, not much privacy if you're wearing hotel robe and slipper for onsen or if you just want to have a smoke.||If you are a light sleeper, please request the room on higher floor, it's very noisy on the street even after midnight and early morning because of the restaurants and bars, also we can hear the 2nd floor public onsen and water noise from our room in the middle of the night during our stay.||Our booking included breakfast and due to covid 19, they don't served buffet, mainly served with japanese style and we can choose from rice or bread, they didn't change the menu and we have the same food every day, breakfast time is from 7am to 9am, my advise is there are plenty of cafes, not worth to pay top price for breakfast.||Also the hotel have main building and annex building, and they are completely different place where annex building is around the corner on the side street. ||Centurion had several hotel in Ueno, make sure you have the correct address details.||There is only one small lift (2 ppl with 2 luggage will fill the lift) for the whole hotel, we stayed during non peak season and quite often we were waiting some time for the lift, there was a note in the reception to encourage guests to use the...

Read moreI have stayed at 27 different hotels in Tokyo from luxe hotels to simple inns and even saunas, and 83 total accommodations all over Japan. ||Ever since I discovered Centurion Hotel & Spa Ueno Station, I keep coming back, this being my 5th time here. My travels to Tokyo will never be complete without a stay here. The spa here is the most ideal, perfect temperatures for the hot and cold bath, & sauna. What I keep coming back to is the service and the culture of the staff. Special mention to Anastasia who recognizes their most loyal customers and always pleasant to meet when you pass by the lobby, she is very welcoming and authentic, and Fujisan who is a ball of pure energy, she will attend to your every need, from luggage keep to pressing the elevator buttons for you when your hands are full and all with a perfect smile. They even have a charming little piano at the lobby where guests are welcome to play and the staff are a willing audience who will clamor for an encore. I didn’t play but was witness to some guests who generously shared their talent. This is a unique atmosphere in Tokyo or in any other Japanese hotel that I’ve ever visited. They have a multitude of room types from cabins to Japanese ryokan style, I haven’t even tried them all, but I promise you I will.||Situated near the Ginza, Hibiya, and Oedo lines of the Tokyo Metro and the JR line and Keisei line you will get to any point of Tokyo from here. Izakayas, drug stores, Donki’s, supermarkets and convenience stores...
