Centurion Properties in Tokyo

I chose this hotel in Ikebukuro for my trip to Tokyo. It's about a five-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, which makes getting around quite convenient. There's a 7-Eleven right outside the hotel, so it's easy to pick up anything you need at any time. The front desk is on the third floor. Check-in was quick, and you can ask for multiple room cards if needed. There's also a hotel tax to pay, and the staff were all very friendly. For breakfast, you get a voucher when you check in. It's served on the second floor, and the dining hours are quite long, until 11 am. The set meals included in the voucher price are all good, with both Western and Japanese options, plus a self-serve beverage station. However, if it's not enough, you'll need to order and pay extra. The air conditioning in the room was comfortable, the shower had good water pressure, and the TV display was clear. Everything was great except for the Wi-Fi being a bit slow. On the first day, there were two complimentary bottled waters in the room, but after that, you have to go to the third floor to refill your own. For convenience, we just bought water from 7-Eleven. Other amenities like yukatas, toothbrushes, and towels can also be picked up from the third floor. On our last day, after checking out, we stored our luggage and went out for a bit. The weather was very hot these days, and when we returned, the staff thoughtfully offered us chilled wet wipes. They also gave us a warm send-off when we left. Overall, a very good stay.

I lost my passport but they helped me to find it. And I faced an issue regarding my reservation but they helped it too! It was two ladies, 01/18(Sun) around 4:30 PM. Please give them a compliment. The room was big enough for two grown men and everything was clean and quite. The location was perfect. It was in the middle of Tokyo so it took around 30~40 mins to get the places we had to go. And also there are some nice Izakaya and Yakotori places around the hotel. It was such a good experience for both of us. Thank you for the support again.

Not far from the subway station, which makes getting around very convenient. There are many restaurants downstairs. The service attitude was great, very warm and welcoming. The hotel was also very quiet. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Tokyo.

Location is absolutely perfect. Very well connected with 4 metros stations nearby. Room is bigger than average in Tokyo. Staff was helpful. They have small kids corner so our 5 year old can play a bit while we were waiting at reception. Lots of food options nearby, it is a busy area late night but we did not hear much noise. Rooms has windows however those are facing the wall of the next building and it is kind of dark even with curtains open. We stayed there initially for 4 nights and then decided to extend for another 2 night as we liked the place.

Centurion Hotel Ueno was a complete disappointment, falling short of basic hospitality standards. The deception started right at check-in: the room was explicitly advertised and booked as a ”Casual Double Bed,” but what we actually received was a cramped single bed. This blatant misrepresentation immediately compromised the comfort of our stay. The lack of care extended into the bathroom, which was a major letdown. The sink and shower area were marred by very bad, visible marks that made the entire space feel neglected and unhygienic. For a hotel that positions itself in a convenient location like Ueno, the absolute disregard for accurate room descriptions and rigorous housekeeping is unacceptable.

The hotel is in a prime location, just a four-minute walk from Ueno Station. The surrounding streets are lively and filled with plenty of restaurants and shops. However, some of the hotel facilities feel quite dated, particularly the bedroom. At only 12 square metres, the room was too small for us to have a fully comfortable stay. Most of the staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive whenever we encountered a problem. We especially enjoyed the spa and onsen facilities, which were a highlight of our stay.

Every time I go to Tokyo, I always stay at this hostel because the location is super close to the station. There are lots of street food options and 7/11s around, plus they have a washing machine, dryer, and best of all, a sauna! 🤩

This hostel is an absolute gem for solo travelers! The entire building has a fantastic design, and the common areas are cozy and spotless, making for a truly relaxing stay. The bed space was much more generous than I expected, with a supportive mattress, and the privacy curtain and individual locker with a password lock provided a great sense of security. There were plenty of bathrooms and showers, all with excellent wet/dry separation, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The staff were friendly, natural, and easy to communicate with. The value for money is unbeatable – I highly recommend it to anyone traveling in the area!
