AYA HOTEL, Tokyo

The property is in a calm residential area, with Iriya Station on the Hibiya Line a 5-minute walk away, providing direct connections to Ueno (park, zoo, museums) and Asakusa (Senso-ji Temple, Nakamise Street). Akiba Shrine is 7 minutes' walk, Chosho-ji Temple 600 m, and Kappabashi-dori Shopping Street under 1 km. Multiple restaurants (Iriya Kitchen & Bar, Shisen Chubo, Tokiwa Shokudo) are within a 5-minute walk. Tokyo Haneda Airport is 23 km away, reachable via train from Iriya. The neighbourhood is quiet, making it suitable for restful stays, yet central enough for exploring major Tokyo sights on foot or by short train rides.

Rooms are noticeably larger than typical Tokyo hotel rooms, with space for luggage and families of four. Accommodation options include Western-style quadruple rooms with two double beds, and Japanese-style quadruple rooms with tatami flooring and four futons. All rooms feature air conditioning, heating, a private bathroom with a bath, hairdryer, free toiletries, slippers, an electric kettle, and a flat-screen TV. Quadruple rooms also have a balcony with city views and a private hot tub. The building has no elevator, but guests find the rooms clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Carpeted floors and wardrobe storage are standard.

The hotel does not offer a restaurant or breakfast. However, the surrounding area has numerous dining choices within a few blocks, including Iriya Kitchen & Bar, Shisen Chubo, Tokiwa Shokudo, Dasuke, and Sewa 3 - all about 0.5 km away. A supermarket is located 1 block away for self-catering snacks and drinks. Guests with early morning plans may wish to arrange breakfast from nearby cafés or convenience stores.

The main wellness feature is a private hot tub available in all quadruple room types (both Western-style and Japanese-style). A public bathhouse is located a few blocks from the property for those seeking a traditional soaking experience. The hotel does not have a gym, spa, or pool. The quiet neighbourhood is pleasant for walking, and Ueno Park (with its zoo, museums, and green spaces) is easily reached via the Hibiya Line or a short walk.

Services include free WiFi in rooms, free luggage storage (available only on the day of check-in and the day of check-out), and an invoice provided upon request. The hotel is self-check-in with clear instructions and responsive support via chat. There is no on-site staff, no courier or luggage-forwarding service, and no elevator - rooms are accessed by stairs. Safety features include CCTV, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and key access. A coin laundry is located 100 m from the hotel. Parking is not available.
