My wife and I have stayed at Oak Hotel in Ueno twice now. The second time around we came back simply for the convenience and price. Our last stay was during the cherry blossom season, and this location was perfect. A 10 minute walk and you are at Ueno Park - a very popular location for cherry blossom viewing. You... more

Pros - room clean and reasonably comfortable, if fairly cramped - good price - free internet in lobby and free cable modem loan is available for use in the room, requires some messing sound to work. No Wifi. Cons - poor location, but at about 10 minutes walk to JR Yamanote line most places are accessable - room was very... more

Originally booked Oak hotel for 3 nights, but ended up extending my stay to 5 nights which they were able to accommodate without an issue. Although it was hard to find, it is convenient as it is close to a train station once you get to know the area. I booked a single room with private bathroom. The rooms were... more

Recommended by a young student friend, this hostel-style hotel had everything we needed in the small double room and tiny ensuite. With wireless internet and several computers at reception area, washing machine and dryer and small kitchen area, tit was lovely and friendly, with helpful staff. They helped us plan routes, answered all our questions and stored our luggage until... more

This hotel is a good value value for money. The room is simple and the bathroom is very small and made of plastic, but is very clean and cosy. Also, all the staff was very helpful and spoke english fluently. You can really feel at home at the lounge area, where you can find lots of books and guides about... more

I decided to stay at this hotel after reading the reviews here. Since I had ISIC card, I received a good discount from them, by sending an email before arrival. Its a great hotel, with hostel like ambience but hotel like atmosphere. The location is a few metres walk from Inaricho subway station, and too close to Asakusa area (... more

Me and my wife were dissapointed that we werent able to get a Ryokan accomodation within our budget. So we settled on Oak hotel for our 3 day stay in tokyo. We initially did not have much expectations, but once we got there we were very happy. The rooms are small( you cannot expect more in Tokyo), but still comfortable,... more

Nice budget hotel in Ueno, northern Toyko, easy to get to from airport as Keisei Skyliner from Narita goes directly to Ueno station. Walking from Ueno to hotel a little difficult as directions a bit hard to follow and not very pleasant dragging luggage in summer humidity!! Much easier to get metro to Inaricho from Ueno and then exit and... more

A reasonable hotel within walking distance of UENO JR station. A quiet situation just off the main street, which has plenty of places to eat between the hotel and railway station. There is free internet in the lobby and the room was available although we arrived earlier than official check in time. more
