This hotel was situated in a perfect location in Ueno. It's conveniently located near the Ueno station, Ueno Park, Ameyoko Market, and a handful of convenience stores like 7-11 and Lawsons. A short detour through Ameyoko Market and a bit of walking would be Akihabara if you're into that, and several stations away are Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree. It was the perfect location for our first trip to Tokyo.
The hotel itself had excellent service and staff. We checked in a little too early that morning, but the staff accommodated us and the nice man handed me the keys to the room that was situated at their top floor. There, the maids that were cleaning up even showed us the way to our hotel room and opened the door for us. How pleasant!
The room was small, but I knew what I was getting from the pictures I saw. This is to be expected for paying sub $100/night in Tokyo, it is an expensive city compared to others. The room had basic TV, telephone, tea kettle, fridge, and double bed. Everything was nice and clean. I found it interesting that you have to switch between the sink and shower for the water to run. I never seen that before so that was new. And of course, you have the bidet which is always nice.
I had some decent sleep and the quality was okay, though I have to say the walls are pretty thin. You can hear nearby guests footsteps and sometimes even conversation. I would recommend bringing a white noise machine to block out any sound in that case. Over the two days, the hotel served its purpose and I was very pleased with the stay. I would certainly come back again.
