Nakamachi Trip

Nice and clean hotel.

A family of 4 with 2 young kids. Super convenient and very friendly staff. Didn't hear neighbours at all even with a baby next door.

It is slightly far from the Ueno skyliner station and around 10 minutes walk to the Ueno metro station. Make sure to select the number of guests for the room as it will affect the pricing, and thus was charged extra on the spot. The extra guest was provided bedding at the counter and a thin blanket similar to the ones on the plane. I enjoyed having the laundry/dryer. Take note that it takes at least 3 to 4 hours for the laundry to dry. Overall, it was clean and the kitchen was fully equipped with microwave, oven and stove.

This hotel was absolutely fabulous. Highly recommended for those looking for a 5 star experience in Tokyo. The garden was also very cool!

Check-in/Check-out: This was very straightforward and quick. The staff made it very easy to get checked in and out smoothly. Location: The location is less than a minute from a train which was great to get around when we needed to. It was also close to a lot of fun shopping areas, places to eat, and not too far of a walk from a great park. Room: The room was spacious for Tokyo for sure. Plenty of space, the bathroom was awesome, and we had no problems making ourselves at home. It was very clean and when it was cleaned it was spotless all over again. Staff: The staff was very helpful. We asked for recommendations on places to eat and they gave us great suggestions. I also asked ahead of time about how to most efficiently check out and get to the airport and they were very helpful. Food: While it is close to a lot of places to eat it also has a great restaurant in the building. We ate breakfast both days we stayed and it was fantastic both times. I would recommend getting that. We also had dinner there one night and it was so good. Definitely worth it if you aren't feeling like going out. Overall/Value for money: We stayed at a cheaper place before this and The Gate Hotel was us splurging for our last two nights to do something different. We probably couldn't have afforded to stay here our whole trip but it was great for those two days. If you are like us and trying to stay a little cheaper give this a shot to end your trip. It was worth the money to experience.
