Shutoken Vacation Packages

Very nice, quiet, well appointed room. The staff was great. Good location, walkable to Ueno train station. Several good restaurants & 7-11 nearby. 6-digit code to use elevator was tedious though.

Overall, this property worked well for our trip to Tokyo with our family of 5. But there are a couple of things I wish I would have known before going. Be sure to check the number of beds in the listing for your room- not the number of people it sleeps. The room we booked on Orbitz said it sleeps 6, however the room only had 4 twin beds. I assumed there would be a sofa bed or rollaway. When we arrived, we were told that those are not options and that two people were going to need to share a twin bed. We made it work with our kids but it would have been difficult if we had older kids or all adults in our group. We also had to pay for an additional towel set and pillow for the 5th person. The beds are also hard and not terribly comfortable. Since we were sharing beds, none of us slept very well. This is a basic amenities/no frills hotel- and as long as you know that's what you're getting, this is a great option. It's very clean, well maintained, and in a great location. For this trip, we just needed a place centrally located to sleep and this met our needs. Having a washing machine in the unit was a bonus, as well as a kitchenette and table. We were able to cook our own breakfast and not have to eat out every meal. It is a quick walk to the nearest subway stop and we were easily able to get around the city. The small grocery store across the street is also really great.

Close to various eating alternatives.
