My stay was several years ago, so hopefully things have improved since then. The location was very good, as was the price. The room was larger than expected. Free internet in the room. Staff was friendly and helpful. The elevator was old and the doors didn't sense when you weren't fully in yet, so you could get closed in them.... More

We spent 5 nights at the Oak Hotel in May. It really is a brilliant little hotel. We had the Japanese room which was tiny but had everything we needed - and was cleaned every day. The reception staff were brilliant - super helpful and friendly. And the hotel lobby has everything you need to know about the local area.... More

Oak Hotel is a gem in Tokyo. It is very near Inaricho Station which runs along the Ginza line. It is also a comfortable walk to Ueno Station (Yamanote line) which has a local train straight to Narita airport for only ¥1000. Oak hotel has great service, clean bedrooms everyday, change of towels and re supply of shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush,... More

In Tokyo you have to expect that the room is going to be small. This hotel was small...bathroom even smaller, however it was clean and in a decent location. Its about a 10min walk to Ueno station (a large station) and about 2 mins to the metro. If you explore the area a little its got some great markets and... More

Surprisingly horrible room. We booked for a room and when we arrived for check in the room was not available. They gave us a double room with a bed that was clearly not for 2 people. Dirty old furniture all around, and the bathroom was leaking water.... Hygiene is clearly not the main word here... Walls are thin like the... More

Room (single) was small but it was warm and had everything I needed, plus some unexpected extras (mini jug w/ green tea, robe & slippers, aircon unit, fridge, TV). The bathroom (private) was little, but it was clean and the shower had wonderful water pressure. Free computers and wifi in the lobby (I could get a weak connection in my... More

Stayed a week with a group of young adults. Staff is young and extremely friendly & helpful. The Oak has a community vibe in the lobby; met many travelers of all ages (including families) from around the world. Your choice of Japanese or Western style room: choose Japanese....after all, you're in Japan! Tatami mat + comforter = comfy. Clean &... More

My brother and I stayed here last December and had a really great time. We went down Ueno Station, following the direction from the hotel's website. It was a bit of a walk but easy to find. The hotel was small but it was very clean. We got the twin room with double decker beds. I was very happy to... More
