Ueno Cheap Hotels

Location location location. Only 2nd time in Japan and I stayed here both times for 2 of my Tokyo stays. The hotel is in the heart of the bustling area of Shinjuku surrounded by food and entertainment. Also since it’s so tall it’s very easy to get back to after a night in golden gai. The 7/11 in the same building is extremely helpful, we got breakfast and late night snacks there every day. I 100% would recommend this for a first time visit to Tokyo. Been to 8 different hotels and stays and while it’s true that hotels in Japan are small, these rooms were very small. Not capsule hotel small but small. However part of the reason for this is the large bathroom which include a wet room set up and tub. (Hence why we re boooked it for our 2nd visit) The staff is friendly and great at English and the luggage fowarding service in the lobby was excellent/ highly reccomend. Rooms could use a LITTLE TLC because of some dis coloring on the couch and some rooms having a slight odor that usually goes away quickly but that’s really nit picking. 9.2-10 would recommend and will prob stay again

We always stay at Hotel Villa Fontaine because of their friendly and warm staff, clean rooms, spa/onsen, surrounding restaurants, shopping, Lawsons, and the best part is the ease of checking in to your hotel room after passing through customs. Transportation to and from the city is a breeze with the easy access to the trains or buses. Highly recommend!

Beautiful hotel and amazing staff. Very attentive to your every need, and always kind and smiling. Loved their professionalism and kindness!! Rooms were clean and they have several great restaurants inside the hotel and surrounding area within walking distance. There is a 24 hour mini market across the street if you need any thing, and a great little bakery right up the street (great egg salad breakfast sandwiches). Just a lovely stay!!
