DORMY INN UENO OKACHIMACHI This hotel is a casual business hotel conveniently located about a 5-minutes walk from JR Ueno Station, JR Okachimachi Station, Subway Ueno Hirokoji Station, etc. We are very pleased with the good location, the cozy and simple room with a large communal bath, which is rare for a business hotel, and the pleasant staff. It was a comfortable and recommended hotel to heal the tiredness of the trip. 使徒の湯 ドーミーイン上野御徒町 昭和通り沿いにありJRの御徒町駅～上野駅のちょうど中間くらい 東京メトロだと日比谷線仲御徒町駅から2分くらい 交通の便はよいのでアメ横で呑みあかした際には便利です 屋上に大浴場があるのもドーミーインの魅力 室内は窮屈さを感じるものの… ビジネスホテルでは平均的なランク 朝食はハーフビュッフェ形式で作りたてのおにぎりは嬉しい スタッフは皆さん明るくて感じが良いので居心地の良いホテル 近くにお寄りの際は是非どうぞ𓂃 𓈒𓏸

A pleasant stay as usual at most Dormy Inn hotel around Japan. Staff are friendly, though may not speak good English. Room is small but cosy. Stayed 3 nights due to proximity to Ueno Park for Sakura viewing. Not fully blooming yet but saw a few first blooms. Great hanami and carnival-hopping! Would highly recommend it, only downside is the one and only elevator poses a challenge in the morning peak with competition from the staff doing cleaning service. Other than this, it's worth the stay for it's convenience and pricing. Of course, the onsen and freebies are always attractions for my hubby and I.

The Dormy Inn Ueno Okachimachi is located mere footsteps away from Ueno Station, and is right in the heart of the Ameyoko shopping district, making it a pretty good base of operations for travelers and tourists who want some of the traditional bustle of Tokyo. Having stayed at Dormy Inn properties all over Japan, however, this one was slightly disappointing compared to its peers. Read on for more...
LOCATION: The location is both good and bad. For convenience, it cannot be beaten! It's only a few minutes walk from both the JR and Keisei Ueno train stations, and an equally short walk to Ueno Park. It's also located about half-way between the train station and the Okachimachi subway station, providing transfers to the Oedo, Ginza and Hibiya subway lines, and the JR Yamanote loop. For the fit, the hotel is also within pretty easy walking distance of both Akihabara (Electric Town) and Asakusa, including Kappabashi-dori (Kitchen street) and the Sensoji Temple complex.
The "bad" part is that the hotel is located _directly_ adjacent to the elevated expressway running through Ueno. Due to the building layout, most rooms look onto the highway, with the accompanying road noise at all hours. (Fortunately, the highway is not heavily traveled overnight, but if you're not used to road noise at home, you're definitely going to hear it!!)
PROPERTY: The hotel is a tower-style building with 12 floors. The traditional Dormy Inn onsen facilities are located on the top floor. The lobby and restaurant is located on Floor 2. The first floor is basically just an elevator lobby at street level, so with luggage, you have to wait for the single elevator, and go up a level to reach the front desk.
ROOMS: The rooms are small, as is typical for Dormy Inns. The single rooms really are just that -- you're not getting more than 1 person and a small suitcase into the room!! The entranceway hosts a place to keep your shoes, the sink & vanity, a single-cup coffee maker, and a small refrigerator. The bathroom is off the entrance, and mine had the traditional high-tech Japanese toilet, and a small shower stall. The main room is separated from the entranceway by a sliding panel, and contains the bed and a small work area with a TV. Electrical plugs are plentiful, and Dormy Inn provides a multi-adapter phone charger that will work with most modern smartphones, just in case you forgot to bring your own. The bed is pretty firm (also typical of Dormy Inns), but the duvet was very nice and fluffy, and the pillows were also a bit larger and fluffier than is the norm (which is to say, thin hard pillows)! Free WiFi is available in every room, and it was fast and reliable during my stay.
One oddity of most Dormy Inns is that the entranceway light is not on a switch -- it's on a motion detector. This one is no exception, but it was worse than is typical. Because the bathroom is off the entranceway, if you get up to use the toilet in the middle of the night, you trigger the motion light, and have to lay in bed for ~2 minutes with the light on, before the timer turns off!! There was literally no way to move around at night without the light turning on, which was pretty annoying...
AMENITIES: The onsen on the 12th floor was also not quite up to normal Dormy Inn standards. Primarily, it was terribly small... the outdoor tub is just a small corner triangle pool, with none of the typical Dormy Inn onsen "perks" like seasonal citrus fruits or cedar blocks in the tub. The indoor pool was larger, but laid out weirdly due to space constraints, such that with more than 3 or 4 people, it felt crowded. The tall, narrow building just didn't allow for the normal, more spacious bath that is typical of this chain.
The restaurant on the 2nd floor serves breakfast, and then free noodles late night. Breakfast was advertised as being an onigiri (rice ball) specialty restaurant, but honestly it was nothing special. If not included with your room, the breakfast is 600¥, which is pretty reasonable, but it was only ok. One very nice perk is that if you need a late-night snack, free noodle bowls are available for guests from 9:30-11pm.
Possibly the best perk in Dormy Inn is the free laundry facilities included in the onsen changing rooms. It's free to wash, but 100¥ to dry.
SERVICE: The staff was very helpful and friendly. Not much English is spoken, so you'll want to have a few Japanese phrases on-hand if you don't already speak basic Japanese. But the staff was quite helpful, and responded quickly to any requests.
SUMMARY: Overall, it was a reasonably pleasant stay at this hotel. Unfortunately, compared to many other Dormy Inns -- including the one just down the street in Akihabara -- this hotel isn't _quite_ as nice as many of its peers in the chain. Its biggest perk is its close location to Ueno Station, and the ease of transit that brings, including to/from Narita Airport. If you get a good rate, you shouldn't hesitate to stay here! Just don't judge the entire Dormy Inn franchise by this location, as many of its peers are measurably better, while offering the exact same amenities across-the-board.

Hands down, the best place to stay within close walking distance to JR Ueno and Keisei Ueno stations. I recently had a 20 hour transit layover through Tokyo International Airport/Narita and was looking for a hotel near Narita Airport to shower, eat and rest before a long onward flight. When I learned that the Keisei Skyliner train connected the Airport with Tokyo, I looked for transit hotel alternatives on the Keisei line: am I ever happy that I did! The Dormy Inn was an EXCELLENT choice for a number of reasons: 1) Easily accessed from Narita Airport by the Keisei Skyliner - 35 minutes to Ueno, Tokyo and the famous 'Ameyoko' shopping streets. Clean, comfortable trains with reserved seats - you don't have to worry about which stop to get off at as Ueno Station is the end of the line. 2) Hotel is a newer property in the heart of Ameyoko - just 5-6 minute walk from Keisei Ueno Station. You actually walk down Ameyoko street, which gives a wonderful immersion into exotic Tokyo, within 45 minutes of leaving the Air Terminal! 3) The hotel is impeccably clean and modern in its amenities- small like a typical "business hotel" but new and upscale in comparison. 4) The BEST thing about staying here is the rooftop Japanese bath. If you haven't experienced a Japanese style bath, you really should. Separate male and female sections for obvious reasons... but there is nothing better than coming off of a long international flight and soaking/floating your travel fatigue and jet-lag away in the large hot pools. There are both indoor and outdoor soaking pools. Research the internet about the proper way to bathe in public bathhouses and you'll be perfectly fine. Bath is open 24 hours! A "must do" for the authentic Japanese experience. 5) The dining area opposite the lobby serves a very good, complimentary bowl of noodles (Soba/ramen) each evening after 8pm. Wonderful snack after a bath and a stroll through the Tokyo night. 6) Unlimited eating and shopping options just outside the door. There's a discount grocery store nearby (Takeya) where you can buy some refreshments for your in-room fridge as well as gifts- food/souvenirs to take on your onward journey. There's a convenience store just outside the entrance where you can buy affordable snacks (oden!) and drinks. Akihabara - the famous electronics shopping destination of Tokyo is just a short hop on the train from nearby JR Ueno Station. 7) Clean, comfortable beds, Front Desk staff who can speak a number of languages... what more could one ask for? 8) Return to the Airport is a short 5-10 min walk to Keisei Ueno Station, which will have you checking back in at Narita for your ongoing flight in 35 minutes. Whether you're staying in Tokyo or just wanting a stopover place for transit, the Dormy Inn Ueno Okachimachi should be a strong consideration; I believe that this is the best kept secret for an affordable stay in Tokyo!

Room size is a little small, but have everything you need inside the room.
Hotel location is fantastic, surrounded by many shops and restaurants, easy to shopping and dining. One more important thing is near the JR, metro, Skyliner station.
I am 100% sure, I will stay in this hotel again in my next holiday in Tokyo.

Checked in at 7pm for a 4 nights stay between 5/22/2024 - 5/26/2024 and was given room 404, a corner room with a twin sized bed - no issues or a wait checking in, since I was the only one there at that time of day. Previously while in Ueno 5 yrs ago, I stayed at the Hotel Sardonyx that’s down the street from this hotel and at a hotel near Shinobazu pond, that’s now called Hotel Pasha Grand.
I picked this hotel due to its mostly positive reviews from travelers, the reasonable price for a room and most importantly, the proximity to Keisei Ueno Station and JR Ueno Station. From my experience going to Japan, it helps to be as close to the train station as much as possible, especially if you’re going to be hauling stuff from shopping and/or luggage around, and you’re not utilizing the luggage delivery service from the airport to hotel and vice versa.
I knew in advance the room was going to be tiny and when I stepped in, sure enough it was. Barely enough space to place your suitcase, if you’re planning to have it flat and/or open. I placed mine, flat with the top propped up, right by the bed, in front of the open closet (as it was too much trouble to zip and unzip the suitcase all the time), but to maximize space, it’s best to have it closed and upright next to the closet, or in the hallway at all times. The open closet has about 6 or so hangers. In terms of total sq ft of floor space, I think the APA hotel might be worse in that it’s even less floor space, though.
Upon arrival in your room there’s a bottle of water and a jelly dessert for you in the fridge. Body soap, shampoo and conditioner are POLA brand. There is no electrical outlet in the bathroom, so the hair dryer can only be used in the main room at the desk, which has no mirror.
Although I communicated with hotel staff in Japanese, the front desk staff speaks English, so that’s a plus for anyone who doesn’t speak Japanese. Hotel staff were nice and when I didn’t know what happened to my room key card and asked for a replacement - they didn’t charge me for it (after returning to my room, I discovered that I never lost it and had simply forgotten to take the original room card with me, as I was in a rush most of my few days in Japan).
Note that there is only one elevator in this hotel, so with 12 floors, if you’re in one of the lower floors like I was - it’s likely at times that by the time the elevator makes it to your floor, it’ll be packed with guests from the upper floors. After this had happened to me once, I learned my lesson and took the stairs during my rest of my time there when going down from the 4th fl to the 1st, with the exception of when I had to haul my luggage down to check out. Going up was no problem, as the elevator was never full.
I used their microwave oven that’s on the 12th fl, once, but this was definitely the most disgusting and unpleasant part of my time at this hotel. When I got to the room housing the microwave, another guest was using it at the time, so I waited a few minutes before he was done. When I attempted to use it, I immediately felt that the microwave oven’s handle was covered in grease from the previous person(s) who used it, which was hella gross - that and the entire microwave plate was covered in grease. Since there’s no sink and no paper towels, napkins or tissue in the room that has the microwave, nor is it manned by staff, I could see how easily this could happen. . . I’m glad that I had gel hand sanitizer on me at the time - it helped a little, but I’m pointing this out as it’s possible you may experience something similar.
I did not use their onsen, nor did I try out their breakfast. In retrospect, I should’ve had their breakfast at least once, just to see what it was like (it’s ¥1,800 if you didn’t choose to the option to have breakfast added to your room rate when you’d booked), but I mainly had food from the conbini, which has items that are tastier than a meal one could get at some American restaurants.
Would I stay here, again? I have mixed feelings about this place. There are clear pros and cons. The location is excellent, in that it’s so close to both Keisei Ueno Station and JR Ueno station, it’s about a 6-7 min walk. They allow you to have them to hold your bags, even after the check out time of 11am, for the purpose of coming back a bit later to pick them up, which is nice if your flight departs in the early evening hours and you don’t want to get to the airport way too early. If I was traveling on a budget and money was a factor, then yes, I’d stay at this hotel again, but I’d book a larger room, if available. Note that the largest room on each floor is right near the elevator, so choosing that means it might be a bit noisy at times, due to guests congregating while waiting for the lone elevator to arrive, which sometimes takes minutes. If I could afford someplace else that had a bigger room and more than one elevator in Ueno, then I’d stay somewhere else, but with the understanding that I’d sacrifice the location being further away from the train stations.

Located in a vibrant district full of shops and eateries, the hotel is right next to a convenience store downstairs, and in walking distance to JR Ueno station and subway stations on the Oedo, Hibiya and Ginza lines. As all the other Dormy Inn hotels, this one also has indoor and outdoor hot baths on the top floor to rejuvenate travelers at the end of the day. The single room is cozy and certainly big enough for me with one suitcase.

Not a great start to our holiday to fetch up in a room the size of a cupboard with a bed shoved against the wall so one sleeper has to vault the other to get in or out. Not enough space for two open suitcases and two people to move around. It’s a great location for shops, restaurants and transport but rather depressing to come back to at the end of the day. Breakfast was cheap but meagre and no good options for Western tastes. A friend enjoyed the onsen.

The entrance was bit inside of the building. Not that difficult to find but not obvious and to get into the building, it might be little leveled floor from the street. There was an elevator to the hotel front on the 2nd floor, but was a small and it could be just wide enough for a wheel chair to get in. Recommend to contact to the hotel.
