Reviews from customers:

• I stayed there 1 week. Rooms are small, just like everything in Japan. Beds are japanese style, hard. Rooms were clean and nice. Shower/toilet in the room was the smallest I’ve ever seen. Hotel staff is great! Wlan worked in the room. Hotel was quiet. Location is great, close to UENO where you get fast train to Airport and train/subway around the city.
• This hotel is in a good location, right near the metro lines, and also a short walk from the station that the skyliner train from the airport goes to. The rooms are small, but enough space to lie a suitcase down and theres a desk area. The bed was fine, we stayed in the western style double room. The bathroom is tiny, but clean. The hotel had free internet which was great, and a small kitchen and washing machine which was really handy. I would definitely stay here again.
• Coming from Narita with the Skyliner which has got its endpoint at Ueno, it was not a to long walk to the hotel, which was easy to find walking along Asakusa dori. Checkin was from 3pm, i was there around 2pm but my luggage was stores safely in the bagage storage room. Checkin itself was easy and went swiftly. Staff was helpfull, spook and understood good english, so no problems there.

Reviews from the customers:

–   The atmosphere at Billy Barew’s is quite friendly, with the bar staff staff mostly all speaking English and many of the customers being regulars. Over 10 years the bar has been going apparently, which made me think “Why didn’t I know about this bar before?”.
–   The bottle menu at BBBB runs to five pages, boasting around 100 bottles. It’s pretty much limited to the large importers – there’s no Japanese craft beer there and no bottles from Nagano Trading or Rogue – but they do have some gems such as Pilsner Urquell, Brooklyn Beer, and Red Hook ESB, as well as Anchor Steam, a number of Samuel Smiths, and a fair few Belgians.
–   The staff were great, very chummy but also very professional and quick. I asked the bar tender if they had any IPA’s to which he responded he had never heard of the style, but asked me which were my favorites and what Iiked about them!
–   Atmosphere is western, but nice whatever your tastes I think. The service was great, with the waitress being fairly knowledgable about the selection. The beers came in the correct glasses quite quickly. Food was ok by Japanese standards, quite good by US standards.
