Tabist HOTEL UENO 39

The staff were warm and helpful, and everything in the hotel felt new and well made. I’d be happy to stay again. I was there with my family for a vacation in October 2025. The fourth-floor room was spacious and had a really comfortable bed. The toilet smelled clean, and the restaurant downstairs served very good food. A faint food smell sometimes drifted into the hall, elevator, or room, but it wasn’t bothersome. The window couldn’t be opened. The location was also great, just a short walk from the station, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, plus a mall.

It’s a convenient spot, but the smell from the restaurant below ruined the stay for me. The room had a strong oily food odor, and there wasn’t even an air purifier to help. I was on Level 3 and could still hear the restaurant downstairs, as well as trains because the hotel is so close to the station. The biggest annoyance was having no wall socket by the bed, so I couldn’t charge my devices there.

The room was clean and had an unusual layout, and there was a wide selection of amenities in the lobby. That was about all I liked. The hot water cut out from time to time. Even though the hotel was a block from the tracks, I could hear trains, and I could also hear other guests leaving their rooms on my floor and the one above.

The restaurant’s heavy grilled-meat smell got into our room. There was a window, but you couldn’t see out of it. I stayed on the fourth floor with my family of four. Take the sofa bed if you can, it was much softer than the other two beds. The TV worked well, and the bathroom was quite nice.
