A very trendy hotel in the electric town. Staff are super friendly and it was very quiet in the rooms. Bed was firm but extremely comfortable. My fiancé and I had a lovely stay xx

APA Hotel Ueno Hirokoji
Yes plenty of shops to get and do everything you like, massages, food, there is an amazing flea market just a couple blocks over behind but you wont see it on the main road. So many hidden gems in this neighborhood.

APA Hotel Akihabara Suehirocho Ekimae
Staff was great and the hotel was very clean. Only issue was the lack of real air conditioning so the room was too hot to sleep in. I asked the staff for a way to cool the room and they gave me this weird water based fan that did not do much.
