Hotel sardonyx ueno — Restaurant in Tokyo

Can't control heat so need to open the window. Only opens about an inch and no screen. Can't see through the window either, but that's fine because it's just another building. Bathroom is tight, but I actually can't use the shower or mirror without Ducking about 6 inches, meaning people will have trouble starting at 5 foot 9. Sink and shower are attached to the same intake Frustrating because when you use the sink you need to be careful to turn it off and not a little too far or the shower will run. (it didn't have a strong notch like other similar setups)

Although there is still some hallway light the curtains block all light from getting in that way.

Definitely some noise from other rooms or the hallway, but not bad.

Not sure why but the pillows here kind of feel like they have rice in them. I found the pillows quite uncomfortable, which is a shame because the bed and comforter were nice.

Truly, a fantastic location lots of food drinks shops all around and if you want, you can easily hop right on the line.

For awareness: The breakfast is a delicious but very small portion sized benefit. The employees there are awesome though!

Would’ve been four+ stars, but for the price the problems I listed shouldn’t...

Fantastic location for exploring the city. 5 mins walk to Okachimachi Stn, under 10mins for Ueno Stn. The walk to each is fascinating, always loads to see but not as manic as Shinbuya or Shinjuko. Many, many, many places to eat and drink in the myriad small streets behind the hotel, including loads where people lined up to get in. A couple of supermarkets within 2 mins walk for essentials plus typical Japanese fast food. Friday night strolling round the small eateries and bars just a few mins walk from the hotel was great fun (without the overly-touristic feeling of Golden Gai). Ameyoko is on the doorstep, with loads of market stalls. Ueno park is about 10 mins walk when you need some peace and quiet. The room was clean, well equipped and small, which is normal here. Breakfast was a bit basic, with a choice of either an egg roll (bread), sausage in a bread roll, pancakes or a chilli dog. Small fridge and Kettle in the room with teabags and coffee sachets in the lobby. There was no option to use the stairs, which meant a bit of a wait for the lift at busy times. Staff were friendly and happy to store luggage until check in time. A...
