Frommer's Recommended

Located across from the south end of Shinobazu Pond, this hotel has a good location near Ueno Park's many attractions and views of the park. Otherwise, it's rather ordinary, with clean, modern, and very small rooms with 19-inch LCD TVs plus keyboards so that they double as computers (the first 30 min. are free). Ask for a room on an upper floor facing the park, since that view is this hotel's best feature. I also like the sky lounge on the top (10th) floor for its panoramic views, inexpensive lunches, and evening cocktails with live piano music. Rooms with semi-double-size beds are available for ¥14,000 ($116/£59) for couples on a budget, as well as Japanese-style tatami rooms, including one with its own open-air bath for ¥40,000 ($332/£168).
