MIMARU TOKYO UENO EAST

The hotel was clean and easily accessible from the train/ metro station. Having stayed at Mimaru Osaka previously, the facilities were similar. Our luggage transferred from Osaka arrived within 24 hours. Ueno is a good place if you want to explore the east side of Tokyo. I also used the Kurogo luggage transfer to arrange for some suitcases to be sent to the airport and they kept them for a few days as we moved to the other side of Tokyo. The one day delivery service was very useful as well.

Lovely staff who were very helpful. The room we rented was very well set up for a family of 4 (two adults and two teenagers). The room had a large wardrobe that we were able to hang clothes in and also store our suitcases so we were not tripping over them. We appreciated the kitchenette facilities, fridge and dining table. Great location, very close to Ueno station made getting around Tokyo and to the airport easy and also walking distance to Asakusa, Kitchen Street and some great local restaurants.

Staff were amazing, very accomodating with any request. The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. Kids loved having bunk beds. Shower room was huge and having a separate toilet was great too. Heaps of hanging space for clothes and we had 2 large suitcases that fitted easily below the hanging clothes. Kitchenette was great for preparing snacks for kids, good size fridge and freezer. Easy 5 minute walk to Ueno station. Supermarket and convenience stores all within 5 minute walk from the hotel. We used the hotels laundry, never had to wait for a machine…which meant we didn’t have to pack a lot of clothes so had more room for souvenirs. Staff helped us with luggage transfer (very reasonable price) to our last destination so we only had to take one suitcase with us to Kyoto. We are looking forward to our stay at Mimaru in Kyoto.

Very large room! A 5 min walk to the ueno trains. The fridge is big like a normal sized fridge, which is rare for a hotel! Plenty of utensil and plates, even has a microwave. There are outlets in the middle of the beds so no worries about using the phone while charging in bed! Not my favourite location to stay in but as far as a convenient hotel with a kitchen near Ueno station, this serves that purpose.

Its a relatively new place with nicely renovated interiors. It is the most spacious compared to the other places I have stayed on the tip and includes a proper dining table that was a very much appreciated feature. The kids enjoyed the bunk bend. The kitchen has all the necessary amenities and they provide rice cooker too when requested. There is a laundry service conveniently located on the ground reception area. There are a number of supermarkets within walking distance where we can do our groceries. And the major Ueno station is about 8 mins walk to the closest gate. The room cleaning service is good with fresh towels supplied daily. They even lend out games / puzzles to entertain the kids.
