Detailed Reviews
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 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!

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!

Our family of 4 spent three nights at the Barn in July. The directions were excellent, the welcome was very warm and the rooms were beautifully appointed. The kids appreciated the complimentary mini donuts and bread at the front door. We enjoyed the quiet neighbourhood vibe. Recommended.

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.

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 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!

Arigato Rin and May. We could not fault your accommodation or your willingness to help with all our questions. It was such a nice room to come home to at the end of the day. You were so kind to allow us to stay later than the normal check out, which allowed us to freshen up before our late flight. We would not hesitate to stay with you again. We were so easily able to get everywhere in Tokyo by train, and we enjoyed the walk to Ueno park and the art gallery. If you are staying here and you are interested in textiles, the next station along specialises in fabrics.

Thank you for your interest in our humble property. We do not have a shuttle bus stopping at our petite hotel. We recommend a convenient public transport from a 4mins walk nearest Uguisudani station.
Uguisudani →Shinagawa →Haneda airport
Uguisudani →Nippori →Narita airport.
There is an inexpensive bus from Tokyo station straight to Narita airport as well.
Kind regards,
The Barn Tokyo team
Thank you for your kind interest in staying at our petite hotel. All our compact rooms are equipped with 1 full size double bed (140 x 200cm). We are afraid we do not have 2 separate beds at this property.
For the view, we have 1st,2nd and 3floor. The highest floor would have the best view. It’s a local residential view.
We hope to one day welcome you to our humble family hotel.
Kind regards,
The Hideout Tokyo team
