Oak Hotel Tokyo

Friendly staff who avoid being overbearing or intrusive and speak good English - thus redoubling my guilt at STILL not getting to grips with basic Japanese. A decent size room by Tokyo budget hotel standards and in impeccable condition. Room and the ensuite were serviced to a high standard daily. No curfew and secure entry after 1am but despite that the hotel was quiet and not some backpackers frat house. The guests were from a wide range of countries and of all ages so no-one need feel out of place. Its great location puts you 10 minutes from Ueno Station and the Yamanote Line, 15 minutes from the Keisei Ueno which takes you to and from Narita in around an hour. In the other direction you're 15 minutes from Asakusa and never far from a wide choice of cheap, good quality food and pleasant coffee shops. I stayed a week and didn't eat at the same place twice, still had loads left to try. Long story short; a good time was had and I'll definitely be back.

A friendly hotel, but one could do better in the area (Asakusa Ryokan Toukaisou nearby was about a third cheaper and had bigger rooms with bigger ensuite bathrooms) the single room I had did not have enough floor space to keep a suitcase open. However, they have a hotel rather than a hostel reception and there was usually a free internet terminal available. They also have a free bike to loan although these are available to rent for very little in the area.

Its An OK hotel = OAK hotel. The room is small and just adequate for 2 person. The problem I experienced is that I stayed in Japan for 10days and our luggage was big. So the room becomes more smaller because of our luggage. If you plan to go Japan and not buying many things then this hotel is good. Otherwise if you plan to buy a lot of things like me then the hotel is too small for you.

Western style beds are a bit hard. Overall room is slightly bigger then other hotels. Staff is always there to help and will invite you to celebrate local holidays. Dryer is a bit small with load size to drying ratio. Overall, a good experience and will use them again.

Very convenient place. Easy to travel to and fro the airport. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Second stay at this hotel. Friendly staff, free internet in lobby and rooms. plus shared laundry, kitchen and small dining area. Small but adequate rooms en suite with air con. Excellent location for Kisei line from Narita, metro and Yamanonte line, walking distance to Asakusa and Akihabara, plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby.

We have found the value for money is average. The facilities were not up to scratch

I LOVE OAK HOTEL!!

Oak Hotel is a great place to stay that is very foreigner friendly in Japan, which is kind of a rare thing. However, it is so foreigner friendly, that practically no Japanese stay here, and because of that, NO TAXIS no where it is---So, you should have VERY good directions or the address of the hotel in Japanese so they can plug it into their GPSes. That said, the place is very hospitable, very clean and friendly, and has very adequate facilities for a weekend or longer stay in Tokyo area. 8.5 of 10 stars, I believe. The proximity is the only downside of this place, and the lack of taxis knowing where it is.

The staff were very nice and spoke very good English, I was so impressed. I enjoyed the nice and cosy room. And finding the hotel was a lot easier than I had expected. Will definitely stay there again next time I am in Tokyo.

room is abit small but the services provided are good. will visit again.

Lovely stay, exactly what we needed (clean, friendly hotel on the cheaper side). Room was small but cozy. Friendly staff who mostly spoke English, although we speak some Japanese. Location was good--not too far from Ueno Station. I would recommended taking the extra couple hundred yen to go to Inaricho on the Ginza line if you don't have too much luggage, it's about a 2-3 minute walk from the hotel. Would stay here again.

The Oak Hotel was very friendly and quaint. It was in a nice quiet cultural area that was not expensive but still reasonably close to transport. A very good cheap place to stay. Don't expect huge rooms though.

Staff very friendly and helpfull. Very easy to get Subway and JR.

This hotel is basic but clean and functional. Rooms are small but o.k if just staying a few nights. Good free internet access and helpful staff. No restaurant but many local options. Only 10 minutes walk from Ueno train station but get directions as it is easily missed. Located in an interesting area of Tokyo with good transport links to other areas.

This hotel is not bad.. but room was little cold.. so if you go in winter season, you woukld need extra blanket.

Friendly hotel, excellent value for Tokyo. Staff were welcoming, rooms were spotless and cleaned daily... only possible complaint is that the "semi-double" rooms really do have a small double bed and if you're two gaijin (non-japanese) you might struggle to get a comfortable night's sleep!

I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the place was most of the time. However, I would like to suggest that signs be posted to ask guests to keep their voices down when they are in the hallways. With travelers' busy itineraries and jet lag, a guest could try to catch a power nap at any time of the day. Also, the desk staff should also know how to work the computers. I asked several staffers to show me how to use Skype on Windows (at home I have a Mac) because all the instructions were in Japanese, which I do not read. No one could help me. I would like to thank the staff who helped me with detailed explanations and maps on how to get places. Also, I would like to thank the desk manager who carried a heavy bag for me out to the curb on my last day. The cleaning staff was fast , friendly and efficient to. Thank you to everyone.

Very nice hotel close to Ueno station. You don't have to take taxi from Ueno Stn.. we did! Small rooms with good standard and very good service and with good skills in english. We will come back!

Excellent, fair priced base for your travels around Tokyo. Close to railway station, lots of bars/eateries to suit all tastes within a short walk. Staff friendly and knowledgable.
