I had a great time staying at the hotel. The room had a beautiful view of the lake, which I really enjoyed, although it had a strong cigarette smell and was a bit small for our luggage. The staff were friendly and super helpful, even assisting with my delayed luggage from JAL. The location was fantastic, just a couple of minutes from Ueno Park and the train stations. The dining experience was pretty good, especially the buffet for my son, but there was a bit of chaos during coupon collection. Overall, a good value for money.
