Ueno Station Hostel Oriental 1

This is the most stategic location for traveller. Plenty of food & kombini around, shopping area just downstairs. Direct line to Narita. Ample cabin size. Daily cleaning. But u need to bring your towel. Else it’s ¥100 daily.

This is my all-time favorite hostel whenever I'm in Tokyo. I've been there for over six times. Never disappointed. Clean yourself a really nice, check staff are all polite. Everything is very clean and sanitized. The comfortable chairs with the blankets out in the common area are very comfortable.Highly recommend.

nice very clean room in a good area with 7/11 etc. near by. highly recommend this place when you are in tokyo and don’t plan to party and are rather for yourself since it’s very peaceful and quiet. i liked it a lot, thank you for the nice stay!

Charge for luggage storage, free storage up to 4 pm only. No bathroom, do shower in common place. Slipper can be stolen by others.

Good hostel for a solo traveller, 7-stories building, bed is narrow but enough for solo. Shower in public bathhouse, no private area but good experience to know Japanese culture

The receptionist threatened me with scissors — shocking experience at Ueno Station Hostel Oriental 1 I booked two separate stays here — first for two nights and then for three nights. On the second night of my first stay, I went to the front desk to discuss my upcoming check-out and check-in process with a new booking I’d just made. I showed the booking confirmation on my phone from Trip.com, but the receptionist refused to look at it or even acknowledge what I was trying to explain. Despite my attempts to clarify, he seemed increasingly agitated, eventually reaching behind himself to grab a pair of scissors in a menacing way. I felt threatened and, in shock, I called the police. When the police reviewed the CCTV footage, it clearly showed him holding the scissors. However, he claimed he was just cutting paperwork, which is an absurd excuse. His behavior was erratic, and it’s clear he was not acting rationally. This incident ruined my experience, and I will never return to this place. I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying here, especially with staff who display such disturbing behavior.
