Experience of the stay
It's about a 3-minute walk from the Iriya exit of Ueno Station, and the location is very easy to find as long as you don't go out the wrong exit. I, who am directionally challenged, ended up going in circles up and down because I took the wrong exit. 💦
It seems to have an international flair, with many foreign guests. The room had about three sets of bunk beds. Since I checked in quite late, I had to take the upper bunk. The iron ladder was tough for someone in their forties like me. 😓 The bed had outlets, USB types, lights, hangers, and a security box, which were all fine. There were also non-disposable slippers, which were convenient. For 35 beds, there were two showers, four sinks, and three toilets on the same floor, and even though it was a Friday, it wasn't overcrowded, so I didn't have any trouble using them. There were many long-term guests, so it was a minus that there were many personal items left in the shower room. (It seems like they get cleared once a week...)
Eating and drinking in the bed is prohibited, but I could eat ice cream bought from a convenience store in the café space on the first floor.
It was a hostel with good location and cost performance.
Experiences during the trip
After working overtime, I missed my Shinkansen and arrived in Ueno at 10 PM. Since the check-in was until 11 PM, I went straight to the hotel and then went out for drinks. 🍺
The drinking street in Ueno Ameyoko on a Friday night was bustling. I wanted to go to a standing pub, but I couldn't get in as it was past the last order. If it hadn’t been for the overtime, I would have made it. 😩 In the end, I enjoyed a stamina hormone bowl and a beer at Matsuya. That was quite delicious!
