Shirahama Packages (Flight + Hotel)

We enjoyed our stay. It was very close to the train station, Ueno Park, restaurants, and shopping areas. The room was a little small but it had everything we needed to make it an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

Amazing location in a convenient, walkable neighborhood. About a 3-minute walk from a good grocery store and from train stations with access to the Yamanote, Ginza, Keihin–Tōhoku, and Hibiya lines. A pleasant 10-minute walk to Akihabara or to Ueno Park. Our room faced the rail lines, but noise was not a problem; the windows dampened the sound enough so that passing trains didn't disturb our sleep. We didn't hear any noise from other hotel guests either. It was a very quiet stay. The in-room kitchen and washer/dryer were extremely convenient. We had a "Deluxe Japanese" room, and it worked great for our family of 4 (adults slept in the beds and kids slept on futon mattresses on the tatami). It also helped things feel a little more authentic and local than an American-style hotel. Check-in and check-out were easy. The front desk staff spoke good English and were responsive to our needs. Everything was clean and pleasant. WiFi worked great. There are several other MONday hotels nearby with similar names, which can be confusing. There is a "hotel MONday Premium Ueno Okachimachi" (no "Apart") that is several blocks away, as well as a "MONday Apart Premium Ueno" (no "Okachimachi") and a "MONday Apart Ueno Shin-Okachimachi" (note the "Shin"). These are all different locations. Make sure to note the difference when booking and when traveling to the location. If you take a taxi, just give the taxi driver the exact address (Ueno 3-8-8) to avoid confusion.

Cute place, easy transportation to Ueno Park, Ginza, and many ogher areas. Staff was friendly and room was clean and comfortable.

We liked that the room has a functional kitchen and a washer dryer. Although a 12 min walk to Ueno, it was flat. if one uses the Iriya Exit, it cuts a minute or two. Staff was courteous and professional. The downside, most properties that I’ve booked has 11 or 12nn check out time, this property has a 10am checkout.

Great hotel with nice breakfast. Whole family enjoys the breakfast!
