Excellent choice of a hotel. Our family of five fit nicely in the one room appartment. The layout of the room was great, we had a small kitchen area, table, chairs etc., somehow there was a surprisingly roomy feeling for a Tokyo hotel. Design was simple, modern, yet beautiful, beds were comfortable. Staff was helpful and spoke excellent english. Location in Ueno was great, we liked the area a lot, public transport to various locations is close by. Strong recommendation, not only for families. If we come to Tokyo again we will stay here again!

We loved everything about our stay here. The little apartment was perfect! The shower was amazing. Having a washer/dryer was so convenient. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was convenient for getting to several different train lines. A perfect place to stay with a kid to explore Tokyo. We will definitely be looking for Section L's in the future.

The cleanliness and comfort of the room were excellent. The only minor downside was a noticeable odor from the A/C's heater function when we first entered, though thankfully, it dissipated over time.

The best and most spacious accommodation we've stayed at in Tokyo (our third visit). We wanted to stay somewhere different than the usual tourist areas like Shinjuku and Ueno is the perfect option. It's merely 40mins on the Keisei Express train to/from Narita airport and you can catch the Shinkansen from Ueno station which is merely 15mins walk from the hotel. The hotel itself is quiet, super clean and conveniently located to a host of restaurants, shops and markets. Friendly and helpful staff on the front desk who speak English, make this stay an easy choice. If you book here you will not be disappointed! Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐

In room washer-dryer is a plus, friendly staff, walking distance to street markets, big games, animates stores near by. Kitchen counter, toaster oven, fridge are included. The beds are big, comfortable and clean. We have a wonderful stay, walking distance to Ueno Park, Ueno station, Keisei ueno station. When we were there at the end of March, the cherry blossom were spotted. Thank you staff for our wonderful stay.

Perfectly located for our purposes; central but not high traffic on our street. Comfortable for our family of four (two adults and two teenage boys). Very clean.
