Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We booked two nights at The Hideout Tokyo based on glowing reviews in TripAdvisor and, having now experienced it, I wonder whether we even stayed at the same property as did those with reviews headlined "Perfect stay" or "We found Heaven." Prospective guests would do well to have appropriate expectations, especially in terms of the size of the rooms, sobering even by Tokyo standards. To call it a "boutique hotel" is to glorify it quite a bit; More accurately, it is an upscale hostel with minimal services. Our first-floor room could not have measured more than 10 feet square (sorry, metric users), and the bathroom area was about 3 feet by 7 feet. That left roughly 7 by 10 feet of living space, just enough room for a double bed (full, not queen), flanked by two very narrow end tables; there was not room to fit a chair. If you are a single adult or an adult with young child, the space might do, but for two tidy, not especially large adults, it is cramped. Another disappointment was the immediate neighborhood, which we found drab and lacking in character. We chose to stay in Ueno because we wanted to experience a different area of Tokyo and take in sights close by, which are many, e.g., the museums at Ueno Park, Yanesen, etc. While both the park and Yanesen did not disappoint, in the end staying in Ueno itself proved not to be as worthwhile and considerably less convenient. On the plus side, the receptionist was very cordial, the rooms were clean, the neighborhood was quiet, and the hotel is close to two stations, therefore easily accessible to other parts of Tokyo. But options for local eating in the immediate vicinity were not interesting enough to keep us local. On the whole, apart from price, the benefits of staying at the Hideout didn't outweigh the disadvantages, mostly importantly location and lack of interesting local color (restaurants, particularly).…

The Barn Tokyo is such a great place to stay in Tokyo. The location was great and close to the metro stations. The rooms were cute, functional and extremely clean. May and her mom were incredibly sweet. We were on our honeymoon and they gave me a bouquet of flowers! May's hospitality was one of the best I've ever experienced. She was always prepared to answer any questions and very eager to help with recommendations. I highly recommend!

Great Japanese style hotel, close to transport. Clean and modern and friendly. We stayed two nights. Has good wifi and Netflix. We like the free pastrys and coffee in the morning, it's around 10 stops to Shinjuku if your ok with that.

The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood in the Ueno area. The hotel is within a few minutes walk to Metro Iriya Station and JR Uguisudani Station, which connects you to most parts of the city. Aimy received us at the hotel and she was very nice. She explained the details to us and even helped us with our baggage. She also responded quickly to our enquiries and helped us receive a parcel before we even arrived at the hotel! The hotel is spacious in Japanese standard particularly when it comes to Tokyo where land space is scarce. The room is modernly designed and well thought out with space under the bed to store our luggage. The bed is really comfortable and would allow you to recharge after a long day. There is also complimentary coffee and banana for everyone in case you need it. There is also free Netflix at each room! Recommend this hotel to everyone and would definitely be returning!…

We had the pleasure to stay 4 nights at this wonderful petite hotel. A short walk to subway and yamanote line stations and all Ueno has to offer. To the staff thankyou for your hospitality and kindness, would not hesitate to recommend.

My friend and I have just spent 8 nights at The Barn. We had a room each with a gorgeous big bed, lots of pillows and beautiful linen. What a delight it was to meet May her Mother and the Trainee Manager Aymy ( our Angel ) Their attention to detail is astounding. The cleanliness and luxury of our room took our breath away. Our Angel, Aymy, would help in any way she could, to the extent on the morning we left she helped us with our luggage at 5.30am and escorted us to find a Taxi. Our stay at The Barn was a highlight of our holiday.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel 3 nights and we really enjoyed our stay. The bed was very comfy and we were really lucky to stay at The Barn. The bathroom area was very clean. Also the location of the hotel is great. It is in small street in the middle of Taitō, Tokio. During the night it is very calm and we could sleep very well. The staff was very friendly and helped us to reserve restaurants (a really great Sushi place) and to organize our further trip through Japan.

Excellent location, free flow of bread/coffee/tea, clean & cosy. It is a hotel with B&B hospitality. Met the owner & am happy that their vacancy rate is high. Cost of the room is reasonable too. Will return for sure!

Great little boutique hotel We stayed here for 3 nights. It is very small (only 5 rooms) and friendly. Mei and her mother Lin are charming and so keen to help. The rooms are small but well designed (storage space under the bed) and chic. It feels a little bit like a London hotel. Free coffee and snacks in the lobby was a nice idea. The location is pretty good - 4 min walk to Uguisudani JR station, 5 mins to Iriya on the Hibiya line. There are convenience stores and restaurants all around.
