In 2017, I also stayed a night at this APA hotel, so that should say something about how I feel about it. Mainly, it's location, location, location when it comes to this APA - it's 2 blocks from Ueno train station and Ueno park. Got to love that!
Otherwise, it's one of the older APA hotels in the chain, but the room was clean and the bed was soft. I did find a large hair in the shower, which was a first for me in Japan, and why I gave it a "4" for cleanliness. Otherwise, the room was spotlessly clean.
The staff at the APA hotel was super friendly, helpful and they spoke good English. Very professional and helpful.
There is ample things to do and eat at around Ueno, hence the location is the big draw here. I would certainly stay here again when I'm near Ueno station.
