ART HOTEL Nippori Lungwood

This is my second time staying at this hotel. The location is excellent, making it incredibly convenient to catch the Skyliner. While Ueno is an option, Nippori offers better value for money for the same distance.

Just a few minutes' walk from Nippori Station, the location is very convenient. The breakfast selection is quite extensive, more so than most business hotels in Japan. There's a display case with handicrafts on the first floor, and the Kitty doll in a kimono is a nice touch.

Very close to Nippori Station, about a 3-5 minute walk from the exit. Most of the snack streets are just on the next small road. The front desk area is large, a typical traditional-style big hotel. For late-night snacks, there's Torikizoku downstairs, among others. If you're heading to Narita Airport the next day, there's a rapid line here with trains every 20 minutes.

This was my second stay, and I opted for the comfortable double room. It was quite spacious, featuring two beds and a long sofa. If you have small children, it feels like it could comfortably accommodate three people (just be sure to specify the number of guests when booking). Right across the railway bridge from the hotel, heading towards Yanaka (from the JR station's South Exit), you'll find Yanaka Cemetery, a historic site where Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last Shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, is buried. The surrounding area has a strong 'old Tokyo' vibe. You can take a pleasant walk along that path for about 20-30 minutes to reach Ueno Park, allowing you to experience the atmosphere of old Edo firsthand.

This hotel is a real find! It's just a two-minute walk from Nippori Station. The room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious, especially for the price. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend!

The basic room definitely hasn't been renovated, it's very old and seems like a business hotel from the last century. Soundproofing isn't great. However, it's cleaned fairly regularly, but the hidden corners are quite dirty, like the toilet and fridge. Service is pretty good, and the three elevators with three doors are quick. The location is also decent. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs, just across the intersection, and they even have skincare samples. But for a basic room, the price is a bit high. I'd recommend prioritizing a newer room type or a different new hotel when booking.
