Hotel Aima

Families with children please note: I booked a double room for 2 adults and 2 children on trip.com and paid for a double bed room at Hotel Aima. When I checked in at the hotel, the hotel only allowed 2 adults in the room, so my two children had to pay a surcharge of 3,000 yen. When I booked and paid, I specified 2 large and 2 small rooms. The price should include premium for children, but the hotel insisted on a surcharge. When I book many hotels, I know that if I specify that I have children, the price will be reflected (increased), but this one insists on charging extra. I immediately called trip.com customer service. They checked the child policy and they told me that I had specified 2 adults and 2 children when booking the room. They also explained that the child policy does not require an extra bed and there is no surcharge if they occupy the same bed as an adult. Trip.com checked it again. The agent negotiated with the hotel, but the hotel insisted on charging a surcharge, so OK Fine gave it to the hotel. But it made the last night of my trip to Japan unpleasant. When booking other hotels in Japan, I enter 2 large and 2 small early in the morning and pay according to the price on the booking screen. No hotel (of any star rating) has ever insisted on charging me a child fee, and they also asked me to charge both children. The hotel staff used Google Translate and said that as long as you are over 0 years old, you will be charged a surcharge, even if you are holding an infant in your arms. Parents traveling with children should think twice. Location: The location is ideal, close to Ueno Station, and it takes 7-8 minutes to walk to Hengshou Street. The hotel is in an inner street, surrounded by 2-3 star small hotels. facility: This apartment is more of an apartment than a hotel. There is no security guard. Anyone can go upstairs at any time. The elevator does not have security equipment to take a card to reach each floor. It is best to remember to lock the door. The "lobby" of the hotel is only 2-30 square feet, and there is not even a sofa or a stool for people to sit on. On the contrary, the lobby of the grandma-like old hotel next to it is said to have a sofa and a stool for people to sit on. The room has a washing machine, microwave, battery stove, cooking utensils and tableware. If you want to cook, you need to buy cooking oil and seasonings, but I only stayed for one night, so I didn't use these facilities. The pillow is so hard and solid, I don’t know what it is made of. clean: In fact, the interior of the room is very new and clean. The wooden floor may be different from ordinary carpet hotels, so as soon as you enter the room, you can easily see the hair around. The floors, toilets, and corridors are all hair left by previous generations. In addition, the room provides disposable slippers, but my slippers were often kicked under the bed. Only then did I discover that there were old slippers left by previous generations under the bed, which proved that there was no care in cleaning. In addition, the trash can is extremely thin, and the width of the trash can is only as wide as an iPhone phone. It is not easy to put the garbage in. Overall, it is not recommended for families with children. Even if there is an infant, there will be a surcharge. Or you can book a three-bed room for 2 adults and 1 child. If there are only 2 adults who need to do laundry and cooking and are not afraid of lack of security and sanitation, you can consider it.

Good Very good location, only a few minutes' walk from Ueno Station, Keisei Electric Railway, and Ameyoko (it's very convenient to push luggage along the way), but it is in a relatively quiet area. There are several different supermarkets nearby, and the supermarkets are all relatively close to Ueno Station (3 small and medium-sized ones). The room size is acceptable. There is a washing machine (with laundry detergent and softener), a simple kitchen, and a large refrigerator, which is very convenient. The bathroom is very functional. Washed clothes can be dried in the bathroom using the drying function in a few hours (the hotel provides a large number of hangers), which is very convenient. You can replenish water, garbage bags or other needed supplies or change towels at the counter every day. The service attitude of the staff was good, and I met two staff members who could speak Chinese. Could be better The room was a little smaller than expected. You need to take out your common clothes if you don't want your luggage to get in the way. Unfortunately, there are no drawers for clothes in the entire room, except for the sink. The sink was poorly designed, so water easily splashed out, making the surrounding area wet, so the hotel provided paper towels. The key point is that if the water on the sink is not wiped dry and the drawer is opened, the water will flow directly into the drawer and wet the contents inside. This bothers me. You can store your luggage after check-out, but the luggage storage space is not large. It may need to be placed outdoors without air conditioning.
