Centurion Hotel&Spa Ueno Station

The room was spacious and the bathhouse was a great amenity.

There's only one elevator and it can take a while.

Centurian's location is in the heart of Ueno right next top Ameyoko. On the hotel's street there are many izakaya, and on neighboring streets there are a plethora of other shops as well, including Family Mart, a game center, and clothing/shoe stores. It is close to both Okachimachi and Ueno stations (about 5 minutes walking). I felt safe walking around during both the day time and night time. The hotel has a public bath, elevators, wifi, and vending machines. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and stored our bags both before and after check in, making Ueno very easy to explore. The room had many outlets, making charging devices easy.

The room was very small (to be expected), and dated. It didn't look as new as the photos indicated. My son is 6'3, and he barely fit in the bed. The mattress was sufficient but not comfortable, as I could feel the springs underneath me. The state of the room was not terrible, but for the price we paid (over $200 for one night), I expected the room to look and feel a lot more updated.

The sauna, ice bath and hot bath being right in the hotel is amazing. The Complementary coffee and green tea and ice cream machine are a beautiful aspect. It's beyond amazing after long day of walking/sightseeing to be able to enjoy the amenities here, or even in a lazy morning after indulging in the local nightlife.

The room itself is nothing outstanding, and the usb charger in my bed was a little broken, but not a dealbreaker in any way.

The location was fantastic

I booked the main hotel and we were sent across the road to the other one. The lobby area smelled bad and the lift constantly smelled like smoke.
