Centurion Hotel Ueno

3-4min walk to JR or subway metro stations (Okachimachi or Ueno-hirokoji). Nearby eateries open late. 24hrs Don Quote across the street. Next to the hotel is a convenience store open to 12am and pharmacy drug store across the street. About 40min ride to and from Narita Airport on The Keisei Ueno Skyliner. Location is superb and not too far from Tokyo station. Location alone makes staying at this hotel worth it.

The air conditioner’s air vent was direct to the bed, I felt sick after a night of wind-blowing to my head. The toilet paper is so thin

Excellent room at the new wing except there is no reception in this new wing

Small room with a balcony we could walk out onto, close to the Ueno train station for easy access to the airport we to exit Shinobazu exit lots of restaurants round and even street food in the nearby predrestion street, staff happy to keep our bags when we checked out

I booked smoking room wrongly when I made the reservation firstly. I changed it to non-smoking room which confirmed by hotels.com before I arrive the hotel. The hotel staff said that I booked smoking room. They have to charge me 3000 yen if I change to non-smoking room. Actually, they didn't change the room type, I wonder that why I have to pay the different 3000 yen. I can accepted the standard small room size in Tokyo. However, the carpet and towels were very old. The hotel faculties were old too. They are still using the key (not key card) to open the guest room door. The guest must leave the key in the reception when you go out. I tried to get the room key without checking the guest name. They will not provide the housekeeping if you stay less than 3 nights. Also, you have to leave the room before 11am if you need to clear up the room. The hotel staff keep chasing you every half hour in the morning for cleaning the room. It's very annoying... The location is very convenient, this is the only good thing.
