Very Good
- The staff is very nice - The room is very clean and cleaned every day of your stay - The hotel was easy to reach by public transportation
- We booked a western style room and the floors in the room were very beat up. There was also only one chair in the room, we would have really liked another one so you could sit together on chairs instead of on the bed. - We did not enjoy the neighbourhood that much. The hotel was located close to Iriya station on the Hibiya line, which was convenient. However, there was not a lot going on in the neighbourhood itself (very difficult to find places to go out at night) so you had to go elsewhere for that.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were so helpful and the food was fantastic. The location was great being walking distance to the train station. Our room was very clean and tidied each day by the staff.
Futon beds were a little hard on my back which I had injured, but this was not a surprise because we knew what we had booked. The team at Edo Sakura provided me additional mattresses immediately so I was comfortable.

Liked the location as it was off the beaten path, quiet but still only 7 minute walk to subway. We stayed there because of the local festival. Staff was amazing. Breakfast was good.
Futons were too hard. Needs to be update. Water stains on the wall. Not a fan of the futon sleeping but hadn't done it before.

Location was good - a couple of train stations within walking distances of 7 to 14 minutes. A quasi-traditional Japanese inn if that is what you are looking for and price was good for Tokyo.
We stayed in one of the tatami rooms. The futon was very thin so not the most comfortable. A tiny table was the only place to set things and there were 2 hard back floor seats. The AC unit was noisy.

The Edo Sakura is a gem tucked away in a rather residential part of Tokyo. For us, it offered something quite different from the regular Tokyo hotel experience: it was a chance to take a short break from the bustle of the city and enjoy some of the quieter and quaint elements on offer. That said, it isn't far from the metro station. The staff were great. The rooms were tidy and elegant. Sleeping on the floor may take getting used to for some though they do offer an extra mattress for support if needed. Breakfast was ok. We didn't use the private hot bath as we'd just been to Kawaguchiko where we got more than our fill of the hot springs. We enjoyed walking around in Taito and particularly liked visiting Ueno park and Yanaka. Don't think we would've visited if we were staying in the usual spots. All in all, a very tasteful ryokan-style hotel for anyone looking for something a little different in Tokyo,
We were going to arrive a little late (8pm) from Shinjuku station and so had asked for some local dining options close to the hotel since we needed help explaining to the izakayas that one guest was vegetarian. We had been able to do this at other hotels and it worked out fine. For some reason, we didn't get much assistance on this front and were asked to pick up food on the way as most restaurants are "local and usually busy."

Beautiful ryokan accommodation located in the heart of Tokyo. 1.5km walk from Ueno Station. Room size was perfect and well appointed. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

We loved our room! Authentic Japanese experience. Breakfast was delicious and wholesome. Futons were comfy. Room was always cleaned immaculately. The rooms have real tatami mat floors (not plastic like in other hotels). The onsen was nice and relaxing.
Wouldve been handy to have a microwave in the foyer to use.

For our first visit Japan, this was a great place to stay. Close to the metro, in a fairly quiet neighbourhood. The bathroom was compact, but it had everything we needed. There were lifts to all the floors, rooms had electrical outlet points and we were able to open the windows and at night a blind blocked out the light. A private bath is available, which we did not use. Washing facilities are available and the staff were very helpful in all regards. Rooms were soundproof. I would stay here again!
Only one seat, so the other person sat on the bed; and limited space to put suitcases and it's contents. This is Japan, so to be expected.
