Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum

Room was clean and spacious compared to other hotels in Japan. Having a washer/dryer in the room is a deal breaker. Staff helpful and easy to talk to despite communication barrier. Although train stations are walking distance, they are still a significant walk especially if you are travelling with older adults or children. Convenience stores are also not very close. If you prefer a quieter side of Tokyo, this accommodation is for you.

I booked MONday Apart Premium Ueno Okachimachi because I wanted a more roomy apartment for my family of 3 and these apartments were perfect. MONday Apart Premium Ueno Okachimachi is located a few minutes walk from Okachimachi station on the Yamanote Line and 6 or mins or more from Suehirocho station on the Ginza line. Akihabara is 8 mins walk. The area is very safe and we had no issue walking around at night and during the day. There is a Lawsons a minute or so nearby and also a Family Mart near the Okachimachi station, which is so handy for snacks, food and groceries. Ueno is also not far away. There are a few restaurants nearby, including Egg Baby Cafe which was really good. The rooms got cleaned 3 days out of our 10 days stay which worked well for us, they also had the option of leaving dirty towels and garbage bags outside your door to be collected on non cleaning days. Access to the rooms and lift area is accessible via a numerical code. The room had a sensor light which automatically turned on when you got up to the bathroom at night, this was probably the only annoying part of our stay. I suggest wearing an eye mask to avoid being woken up by the lights at night. The staff spoke English and were very hospitable, friendly and kind. The room does have some noise from the trains nearby, but it is not too loud that it is distracting. Other than the train noise, I cannot hear my neighbours. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we would stay here again.

Nice big room that worked great for working remote. The table is very large and can accommodate multiple people working. It was great to have laundry and that was one of the main reasons we picked this place. You can walk to a pretty large grocery store, LIFE, in less than 10 minutes. Note that they don’t let you check in early or late without having to pay a fee. They will hold your luggage because of these rules.
