Great place. More spacious than I expected. Very clean and near a bunch of restaurants, bars, shops, and train station. Could barely hear the train in our room. The staff was very responsive.

Meylin, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked the place we stayed. Only downside was there was no elevator and everything was cramped. But had above and beyond facilities for the tiny space including a dryer/washer, microwave, fridge, etc.

The room was relatively small, but the location was very convenient.

8/10 Very good

Excellent use of space. Three large people shared the room comfortably.
Naoko, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location and facilities, but no room service, I stayed here for 7 days, so the room was quite dirty. It may be good to stay 2 or 3 days.
chui, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

For backpackers or travelers traveling light, it probably would suit. For travelers with luggage, be prepared to carry luggages up and down a narrow staircase.
Anna, 5-night trip

Had small touches such as electrical outlets and usb ports for each bed, washing machine, drying rack, cutlery and plates, stove.

Loong Chang, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel had everything you need (toiletries, pj, kitchen, laundry) . Instructions were clear and organised. Bedroom small but enough for people with only carry on luggage. I really liked our permanency there.
Cecibel, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel, the room was very clean and the location was perfect, right next to the yamanote line! It was small for 3 people, if you brought in mid sized luggage you’d probably have to open it on the bed but we can’t complain, everything else was amazing. Thank you!
Carolina, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Satisfied with the overall condition of the property. However, the building doesn’t have lift, so expect to carry the heavy luggage to walk up and down via just stairs. Also very close to the train track, can hear the noise when train pasts, having said that the property only about 2-3 mins walk to the train station.

Perfect
Mohammed, 17-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This brand new hotel is rather compact but super clean, efficient design, in the ideal location, has awesome amenities and comfortable beds. Having a full kitchen and washing machine in the room is very convenient. I would definately come back.
NK, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

My 1st U Hotel experience.

Sorry to say the room is cramp for my family of 3. The tv is way too high for comfort viewing. Washing machine is a plus but no dryer for clothes. Hang clothes all over room, not nice. Train noise, bearable.
Jeremy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

No daily room service

Overall is good except we stayed for 6 days, all the daily garbage create smell, no room service and not enough clean towels, we have to wash it.
