Hotel Graphy Nezu - Tokyo

Good hotel itself, staff was actually really decent, but it was happened flooded with rude fellow tourist that is either just creepy or unfriendly, plus family with kids crying one in the morning. The neighbourhood was sort of okay, well manner people with occasional speeding cars that is rare in Japan, but you are close to the museum which is a plus.

A very nice hotel with friendly young staff. The room was quite small and had some problems but we didn't spend too much time there so it was okay, we slept well anyway. Breakfast was very nice with a choice of sandwiches or a pancake with fruit. Plenty of coffee and soup as well. Later in the day the bar is a pleasant place to spend time, with an outdoor patio as well. Free small drink each day for residents is a nice touch. Bike rental is available (using the famous Tokyo Bikes) and is a nice way to see the city, as long as it doesn't rain as it did for us! Overall we really enjoyed the stay and would recommend the hotel, especially for travellers who don't mind a few rough edges.

We booked through hotels.com and at first we booked one night, then later we decided to book a second night so that we could explore Tokyo and surrounding areas for longer. For some reason I couldn't get the same price on the 2nd night, so instead of adding an extra night, I had to make a separate booking through hotels.com. When we got to the hotel we were told we had to change rooms (apparently the booking for the second night was for a smaller bed). Staff made the move easy for us and explained that if we were out during check-out time (11 am), they would move our luggage for us, which they did. We arrived at 8 am and even though we were unable to check-in, they held our luggage for us until we were able to so that we could go explore the city freely. The staff were friendly and helpful and pleasant to deal with. Most staff we met spoke English. The location was ok. It was close to the Ueno Zoo and park. It is a 4-min walk to Nezu Station (not covered by JR Pass), and about a 15-min walk to Ueno Station (covered by JR Pass) where you can walk through the scenic park to get to the station. The rooms were not the smallest rooms we stayed in while visiting Japan. I would say it was somewhere in the middle with regard to 'size of hotel room'. They contained all the necessities for a two-night stay. The washrooms were smaller in comparison to other hotels we stayed at in Japan.

wool stay there again next time. easy to access, friendly staff, great atmosphere.

This hotel is affordable without being cheap or sacrificing comfort. It's a social apartment where there is a shared kitchen / pantry where you can cook / prepare your meals should you choose to, helping you cut cost on food expenses. The only downside I think is that it is not right next to the train stations but if you don't mind a nice 20-minute stroll down a quiet neighborhood, then no problem!
