Asama Shrine Tours

Loved this hotel! Wasn't originally going to stay here as the price was more than we were looking to pay, but we couldn't find another apartment hotel to suit our means. Fortunately, we were not disappointed and the price was worth it! The room was well laid out and usable. The kitchen, while a little small, had everything we needed and I love that there was a dining room table to sit at. The staff were friendly and helped us restock things as needed. The place was tidy and the cleanings were helpful. Only thing we would have liked more would have been one bed (instead of two pushed together) and slightly softer mattresses (but from our experience hard mattresses are pretty common in Japan). Would certainly stay here again!

I booked MONday Apart Premium Ueno Okachimachi because I wanted a more roomy apartment for my family of 3 and these apartments were perfect. MONday Apart Premium Ueno Okachimachi is located a few minutes walk from Okachimachi station on the Yamanote Line and 6 or mins or more from Suehirocho station on the Ginza line. Akihabara is 8 mins walk. The area is very safe and we had no issue walking around at night and during the day. There is a Lawsons a minute or so nearby and also a Family Mart near the Okachimachi station, which is so handy for snacks, food and groceries. Ueno is also not far away. There are a few restaurants nearby, including Egg Baby Cafe which was really good. The rooms got cleaned 3 days out of our 10 days stay which worked well for us, they also had the option of leaving dirty towels and garbage bags outside your door to be collected on non cleaning days. Access to the rooms and lift area is accessible via a numerical code. The room had a sensor light which automatically turned on when you got up to the bathroom at night, this was probably the only annoying part of our stay. I suggest wearing an eye mask to avoid being woken up by the lights at night. The staff spoke English and were very hospitable, friendly and kind. The room does have some noise from the trains nearby, but it is not too loud that it is distracting. Other than the train noise, I cannot hear my neighbours. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we would stay here again.
