“great hotel in the heart of asakusa”

This is a great hotel in the heart of asakusa, and within walking distance to subways, senso-ji temple, asakusa sumo club, etc. The hotel also has great views of the skytree, which is pretty at night.

This is a great hotel in the heart of asakusa, and within walking distance to subways, senso-ji temple, asakusa sumo club, etc. The hotel also has great views of the skytree, which is pretty at night. The rooms are small, but it’s tokyo, so that’s part of the experience! Even though the rooms are small, they could make so much more use of the space they have. For e.g., they could continue the small built-in cabinet across the whole one wall, with innovative use of the space for suitcases, etc. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and the staff are helpful and accommodating. There’s a mini fridge and safe in the room, as well as a smart TV. The bathroom is typical for asia: a room just for the toilet, another as a shower/bath room, and then the sink is separate and accessible. The problem with the shower room is that there were no hooks or rails anywhere, for towels, or your clothing, nothing. I used the edge of the bath to pile everything that i needed, which was less than ideal. They also need to add lots of hooks by the sink for toiletry bags, etc. The shower had good pressure and temperature consistency. There was shampoo, conditioner, body wash, but no lotion (which is typical for asia). Also, a note about the lighting: There’s a light switch for the toilet room, and another for the shower, but all the rest of the lighting is controlled by a pad by the bed. This is fine except for there being no switch near the sink, which is right next to the entryway, and behind the shower room, so it’s very dark. You have to exit the toilet, go over to the bed, turn on the light to the sink, and then go wash your hands. It’s either that, or leave the lights on all the time, but we don’t like wasting electricity. The breakfast was excellent – smallish, but very good quality. There’s tea, coffee, juice, an egg / sushi-like station (the eggs benedict were amazing), bread/toast, pastries, yogurt, fruit, cereal, fried potatoes, and noodles. All-in-all a great hotel.

“Fantastic family holiday”

Location was great, right in the heart of Asakusa with shops and restaurants all around. Room was good sized for Japan, modern and clean with enough room for 2 adults & 2 teenagers and our luggage.

Location was great, right in the heart of Asakusa with shops and restaurants all around. Room was good sized for Japan, modern and clean with enough room for 2 adults & 2 teenagers and our luggage. Especially helped being able to store our bags under the beds. Buffet breakfast was delicious with a good variety of both western and Japanese options. Only downside is that the window only looked into the other side of the hotel so no views.

“Choose for efficiency only”

Hotel is conveniently located but it is in a very very touristy busy area. Close to trains. Room is very compact, no space to open a big luggage..you have to crab walk around the bed. Efficiency vs comfort is why you wil choose this hotel.
