I stay at the Villa Fontaine hotels frequently when in Tokyo and they are generally all good value for the money. Located at Shin-Okachimachi station it is very close to the Ameya yokocho shopping area and there is another smaller arcade running parallel to the road the hotel is on. Ueno station is a little farther away. Not a bad... More

Hi, I am the author of a recently published book of thirty short stories called "Moments in Time-a collection of short stories".

Hotel take only 5 mins walk from shin-okachimashi station. Walking distance to ameyoko shopping area. 24 hour restaurant (sukiya). Hotel clean and nice, a bit tiny but bathroom got bath tub. Staff very helpful. Boring buffet breakfast since i stay for 6 days but acceptable.

Good hotel, very popular for western guests. Rooms small but confortable, few services... Breakfast .... Minimal ... "Zen" Rooms rate quite good. Great fast check-in check- ok ( thanks) Good for business trip...

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights in January. It is away from the main sights in Tokyo but in a quiet but vibrant local area just south and east of Ueno. It is only about 5-10 mins walk to about 3 metro stations. If you get the Kaysei skyliner from the airport, it is only about 3... More

Our second stay at the Villa-Fontaine Ueno and was pleasantly surprised that they have made a couple of improvements since my last stay 3 years ago. Firstly, they now have free wi-fi in the lobby and secondly, they have BBC World on the telly - both welcome additions to what has got to be one of the best value-of-money options... More

We stayed at this hotel from 10/12/12 to 12/12/12. When we checked in at about 11:00 we were told that we could not have the room until 15:00. I explained that my mother is elderly (81) and she had travelled from London overnight and was very tired. They allowed us to have the room immediately for an additional charge of... More
