YANAKA SOW - Cultural Boutique Hotel in Historical area Yanaka - Near Ueno Akiba

Cleanliness.

Issues with door locking system

Beautiful design, stylish and quiet area

No real facility to hang towels or wet clothes in the room

Comfortable, stylish, in a beautiful and peaceful neighbourhood. Walking distance to Ueno and transportation.

Check-in tablet didn’t work, and we wish the windows could be opened more. Quite expensive.

It was conveniently located close to Nippori and Sendagi stations. Yanaka is a beautiful quiet little area, we loved it. The beds were comfortable and room was spacious for Tokyo standards although not much bench or storage area.

It felt was extremely cold (lack of a welcoming atmosphere). No staff on site plus lots of strict rules was unpleasant. The dark interior and lighting also made it feel a little eerie at night. We stayed 3 nights on the top floor but every single night there were loud knocking or banging kind of sounds that vibrates the floor and wakes us up. It is also in the middle of one of the largest cemeteries in Tokyo. Though beautiful during the day, if you don’t like to be in and amongst tombstones, this is not the place to be. I would not book again due to the darkness, loud noises at night and spooky feeling at night.
