Lonely Planet review

It's on the fringes of central Tokyo, but the prices are low and the atmosphere is that of a friendly hostel. There's free Internet, coin-operated laundry facilities and clean baths. Rooms are lined with tatami and come with TVs, towels and yukata (cotton robes).

It may be a bit out of the way, but it's only a few stops from Ueno station's easy airport access. Worth a look, this friendly hotel provides basic tatami rooms and lots of amenities for a budget price. The Juyoh has a hostel-like atmosphere, though it's a hotel that provides each guest with simple, private quarters. Each room has a fridge (empty) and TV (local Japanese channels only), but also comes with bath towel and yukata (cotton robes). Bath facilities are clean and well looked after and a coin-operated laundry is available. Internet access is free, vending machines are stocked with hot and cold drinks and friendly staff are happy to chat or dispense advice in English. For some travellers, it may seem too remote to be worthwhile, but it's one of the cheapest hotels in town and great value.
