SC Hotel Umejima Room 202
SC Hotel Umejima #202
Room 202 is a self-contained apartment on the second floor of a three-storey building, suited to family trips of up to five people.
Three things I would check first
- Room 202 is a self-contained apartment on the second floor of a three-storey building, suited to family trips of up to five people.
- This room suits families who want a private kitchen and washing machine and plan Ueno and Asakusa itineraries on the Tobu Line.
- Travellers with heavy luggage who do not want to carry it upstairs, or who expect a lift and daily housekeeping, should compare other stays.
I would treat Room 202 as a self-contained apartment to actually live in, not just a place to judge by how comfortable the bed looks. With a kitchen, refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine inside, it is more practical for families with children than a beautiful lobby.
Location and access: from the station to the door, distance is not the whole story
SC Hotel Umejima Room 202 is located in Adachi Ward, Tokyo. Address: Room 202 Belmont. 1-32-6 Umejima, Adachi Ward, Tokyo, Japan
The nearest station, Umejima, is about 350m away, roughly a 6-minute walk; but station distance is only a reference — the actual time with luggage depends on the route and steps.
This room sleeps a maximum of five people, with two double beds and one more sleeping place; whether five people would really be comfortable, I would think through who shares a bed, who sleeps near the living room, and how many people can use the bathroom at once.
Before arrival, I would save the station name, exit, and door-access information; with large luggage, in rain, or with a wheelchair or stroller, I would consider station lifts and the steps at the accommodation entrance separately, rather than assuming the whole route is step-free.
How to choose a room type: beds, occupancy, and movement inside the room
This room is a second-floor apartment with its own separate entrance. Although Rooms 201 and 302 are in the same building, they are not the same room: bed sets and furniture positions should be judged from the Room 202 photos, not from photos of other room numbers.
- Family apartment / max 5 people: 40m², max 5 people, 2 bedrooms: 2 double beds, 1 Japanese futon set, Floor: 2.
When I choose this kind of stay, I look beyond the ‘maximum occupancy’ figure: sharing a double bed, a sofa bed, or a Japanese futon set may mean the number of people who can sleep comfortably is lower than the platform limit. If travelling with friends, I would agree each person’s bedding arrangement before booking.

After moving in: cooking, laundry, and the rhythm of each day
Umejima Station is close to a residential shopping area, convenient for shopping on the way back or heating a bento; trips to central Tokyo still require considering Tobu Line travel time and transfers – a short station distance does not mean every Tokyo sight is close.
The room includes practical facilities such as a private kitchen, washing machine, refrigerator, and microwave. These are especially convenient for a family trip of four to five people: food bought in the evening can be reheated, and laundry can be done in batches. For a longer stay, I would still confirm towel replacement and rubbish sorting in advance.
No breakfast is included. If I stayed here, I would prepare my own, or buy food at a cafe or convenience store near the station in the morning.
Check-in and check-out: check-in 17:00-24:00; check-out 00:00-10:00. Check-in is self-service, so confirm door-access and key-pickup information before arrival.
A short stay or consecutive nights: which small details matter more the longer you stay?
For a single night, I mainly look at arrival time, transport, and whether I can find the entrance quickly; for three nights or more, I care more about cooking, laundry, rubbish handling, and whether everyone has their own corner to rest.
I would confirm the room type’s hardware conditions first, then weigh them against the pros and cons before deciding.
Nearby itinerary: which area makes the smoothest base?
Staying around Umejima Station, I would keep the arrival day separate from full sightseeing days: use the arrival day for shopping, meals, and getting to know the station, and save cross-district sights for later days, so the first night is not spent dragging luggage a long way.
Starting from Umejima Station, I would keep each day’s itinerary in one direction to avoid multiple transfers every evening. Tokyo is vast; staying in Adachi Ward does not mean inconvenience – as long as eastern Tokyo routes, shopping, and dinner are arranged along the way, it is often more comfortable than crossing the city every day.

Pros and cons: how would I make the final decision?
Pros
- Private kitchen and washing machine make consecutive nights easy
- Second-floor self-contained apartment, suited to families sharing living space
- Daily shopping can be arranged near Umejima Station
Cons
- Carrying luggage to the second floor requires care with steps; no lift is listed as available
- No hotel-style instant front-desk service
- Five people travelling together still need to plan bed assignments carefully and confirm activity space inside the room
My verdict: who is this stay right for?
For families who want a private kitchen and washing machine and plan Ueno and Asakusa itineraries on the Tobu Line, SC Hotel Umejima Room 202 is an option worth adding to the comparison list.
If you are a traveller with heavy luggage who does not want to carry it upstairs, or who expects a lift and daily housekeeping, I would instead compare other stays in the area first, because room type and movement inside the room affect the trip more than a slightly lower price.
In the end I come back to three things: confirming the exact room number to book, assigning actual sleeping places, and confirming the route from the station to the door on arrival day. With these three done, the trip feels more solid than booking on the main photo alone.
Frequently asked questions

Different room types have their own occupancy limits and beds: Family apartment / max 5 people: 40m², max 5 people, 2 bedrooms: 2 double beds, 1 Japanese futon set, Floor: 2. Always confirm against the occupancy and room type shown at booking.
Can I prepare my own breakfast?
Room types with a kitchen allow simple meals to be prepared according to the facilities; where no breakfast service is clearly stated, arrange shopping near the station or eating out in advance, and do not assume breakfast is included in the booking.
Is it convenient with large luggage?
Station distance is only a first layer of reference; I would also check lifts, floors, steps, and the actual entrance route, especially for this kind of residential, apartment-style, or multi-room-number stay.
