Hotel Graphy Nezu

Facilities: This is a very mature hostel with complete and convenient facilities, offering everything you could ask for. I can't find any flaws. You can check out their Instagram videos and pictures beforehand. Hygiene: The rooms are cleaned daily by dedicated staff, and the toilets and showers are consistently kept tidy. Environment: The environment is fantastic, and the common areas are very spacious. There are lots of green plants, which makes it very beautiful. It's located in a residential area, so it's very quiet. Service: The staff provide good service. Pros: The artistic design of the common areas is very aesthetically pleasing. The rooms are a good size, with large, lockable lockers. The hygiene is excellent. There's a big kitchen with many stovetops. There's a small convenience store nearby that closes late at night, and it's very close to a subway station. To the southwest, at a crossroads, there's a large supermarket, a drugstore, and many restaurants. There are many foreigners staying here, and my roommates were all very nice, quiet, and happy to chat – truly an international hostel atmosphere. There's also their own restaurant on the first floor, mainly selling burgers. Guests can enjoy free beer from 6 PM to 7 PM daily. I didn't try it because I was always out exploring at that time. Cons: It's quite far from JR Ueno Station, more than a 15-minute walk, but it's very close to Nezu Station on the Toei Subway, about 5 minutes away. Ueno Park is a 13-minute walk. Note: For the washing machine, you need to select 'clean' first, wait 1 minute, then choose the wash cycle, and finally scan the QR code to pay (WeChat Pay and Alipay are both accepted). It costs 500 yen per wash, including drying. Overall, I would still consider staying here on my next trip to Tokyo. However, I have some reservations due to its distance from Ueno Station, as sometimes subway navigation only directs you to Ueno Station. To get to the closer Nezu Station, it might make you take a 30-minute detour.
