A travel guide to the best places to visit

Hotel New Tohoku

Hotel New Tohoku is arguably the cheapest hotel one on this list, but it still stands outs due to its fantastic location. It’s within walking distance of Ueno Park, where you can find some of the most important museums of Tokyo, such as the Tokyo National Museum, Ueno Zoo, a fantastic Japanese lotus pond and more. And in front of Ueno Park you will also find Ueno Station, which is a railway station that connects entire Tokyo.

The design of the hotel is nothing fancy, it looks a bit dated, but it’s clean and everything is complete. The rooms come with free wifi, television, air conditioning and their own bathrooms. The hotel offers a Japanese breakfast, with salmon, rice, eggs, soup and more, which does cost a little extra, but it’s fairly cheap.

You might wonder why this hotel has 1-star. Well, it’s because the hotel lacks an an elevator, so you have to take the stairs to your room. Which is a bit inconvenient for elderly people. But for the rest the hotel is quite good. And you probably won’t find a cheaper hotel with the same quality. So it’s perfect for people who are traveling on a budget.
