Perhaps it is the location that makes it perhaps less desirable. It is a longer walk from the Asakusa subway station but not too long. There are hotels less than 10 minutes walk even less than 5 minutes walk but this is a good 12-15 minutes if you walk fast. If you don't mind the walk it is good. I don't mind even with heavy luggage. The walk is straight forward and easy, no stairs involved if you take the lift from the subway that comes up to just across the tourist information building. And if you take the street with the covered shops you can even look around at the shops and restaurants while walking there.
Check in was fast. Instead of keys or key cards, they give you a pass code. You key the code to enter your room as well as to enter the hotel at the ground floor between midnight and 7am. The sliding door are locked between these hours. Don't forget the code!
The room is bigger than hotels at this range. Decor is more modern. The usual amenities are there: fridge, kettle, tv, hairdryer, slippers... The bathroom also seem roomier and less of a step up from the room. There is a window which only looked to the wall of the next building. I didn't mind. I don't normally look out of the windows in a hotel room.
The supplied pillow was hard but you can choose other pillows at the second floor reception. There were also other free stuff at the lobby like ear plugs, combs, moisturizers, etc
Breakfast is served from 630am so my second morning I could not take as I left at 530am to catch my flight. The variety was limited though, some pastries, bread, spaghetti and some Japanese dishes which I didn't take. There was coffee, tea and juices. More variety for breakfast will be good. Also a luggage rack in the room will be perfect.
I would come back again gladly even though it was farther.
Hotel Location - Hotel is located about 8mins walk away from Asakusa Station, Ginza Line (should you have huge, heavy luggage with you, this 8mins walk through the streets & traffic light might make it seems longer than 8 mins especially after carrying your luggage up those stairs from your train platform & out of the station).
Hotel Facilities – Room & toilet size was adequate based on Japan standard, we had the bunk bed room (single bed on top & queen-size bed at the bottom), walking space was manageable with closed-up luggage, should you need to open up your luggage (i.e. Size of 24” of bigger), you will just need to take turns to open them up at 1 corner of your room.
Customer Service – The staff that received us spoke very (extremely) limited English but they do have instruction card in English for better explanation on regulation for check-in/ check-out, housekeeping & complimentary breakfast hours etc. Check-in payment is via a machine (which your room's security code will be provided in your receipt generated by the machine) next to the reception instead of paying directly to the staff.
Note: Reception is only open from 6am – 12am hence there will be no one to assist to your queries during their closing hours (absolutely nobody).
Room Cleaning - Should you prefer to stay in the hotel room during their cleaning hours, do remember to inform the reception in advance that you require no house-keeping and you will be able to stay in your room during their allotted cleaning hours. You will see sign pasted on your room (as instructed to the cleaner for their efficient cleaning instruction) so don't be shocked to see signed paste on your room door as you step out during cleaning hours. And do take note that your level corridors will be very messy with linen thrown along the corridor due to cleaning process by the polite chamber lady. Clean towels will be provided in a paper bag hang outside your room door (by afternoon) despite no room cleaning request from you.
Basic amenities & toiletries were being provided (towel/shampoo/shower gel/hanger) so if you ain't asking much, everything in this hotel will suffice your basic amenities needs.
Extra Pillow – Extra pillow were being provided as an extra touch by Super Hotel whereby (limited no. of) extra pillows with various texture for you to chose from (at the reception, upon check-in) to enable one to have a better sleep with their preferred choice of pillow material (note that its based on first come first served basis).
Complimentary Toiletries Gift – As explained by the receptionist in Japanese, each guest is entitled to 5 packet of complimentary gift per day (i.e. 2 guests in a room are entitled to 10 packets of complimentary gift), these gifts varies from single packet of shampoo + shower Gel/ fizzy bath powder/ bath scrub/ comb/ hair band/ face mask to cooling gel mask for aching legs. Which, I personally feels - is an add-on touch for their guests.
Complimentary Breakfast – Breakfast is served from 6.30am – 8.30am, daily. They served a decent spread of croissant & bread (which is part of Super Hotel speciality as a business hotel), onigiri (rice ball), eggs of the day (e.g. scramble eggs/ omelette), pickles, salad (with various salad dressing to chose from) and 1 soup of the day (e.g. miso soup/ beef stew etc). And free flow of vending machine beverages (coffee, latte, green tea etc) from their vending machine at their cafeteria during breakfast hour should you need a quick caffeine fix.
Self-Coin Laundry – Super Hotel has the lowest rate for self-coin laundry & dryer till date. A 30 minutes laundry cost 100yen and a 30minutes dryer session cost 100yen (that includes drying of jeans material with 4days loads of laundry). Liquid detergent and fabric softener are provided free-of-charge with fragrance that leave your clothes smelling good thereafter.
Location – Super Hotel Asakusa is located just 1 – 2mins walk away from Sensoji-temple's 2nd Gate Entrance hence this area isn't too frenzy & crowded like the 1st Main Entrance gate. You could get quick access to the temple rather than having to go through the awfully crowded Nakamisen shopping street should you be visiting the temple during daytime. But should you like to walk in through the first main gate, don't forget to get a local map from the Hotel's travel information brochure rack and make your way round the peaceful, residential street of Asakusa to the temple.
There are quite a no. of yakitori and eatery (at very reasonable/ lower rate than upper-end of Tokyo cities) nearby the hotel but do take note that no English is spoken and menu are all in Japanese without pictures for some of the traditional eatery that served mostly local regulars.
There are at least 2 – 3 convenient store as you walk out from Asakusa Station to the hotel (apart from vending machines along the road) and at least 1 of the convenient store is ru on 24hour basis. There is also a 24hrs Yoshinoya eatery in between your route back to the hotel which you could drop by for a hot bowl of shiny pearl rice with delicious marinated meat as supper before heading back.
Security – Asakusa is basically a dead town after 9.30pm but is typically safe to walk in the night (including midnight hours) with view of skytree tower's light-up at one side of the road while night view of Sensoji-temple on the other side as you make your way back to the hotel. The overall feeling was peaceful and safe despite the quietness.
Hotel reception is at level 2 but entrance is through a lift at level 1 with security pin lock required at before you could step into the enclosed glass space to the lift should you only return back to the hotel after 12midnight.
Enjoy your stay if you are there too! :)
On the positive side however the rooms were well equiped. Just one exception : there is no intercom system. High speed internet connection is available in each room free of charge.Slippers and pyamas are also available.
Breakfast (included in the price) is buffet type with some japanese elements like soup and western elements like bread and marmelade. Cleverly the drinks automate in the lobby is free of charge from 6H30 to 8H30 so that how the coffee is served dring breakfast. After that the automate functions with coins.
Asakusa is a must when in Tokyo. Completely different from the high rise Shinjuku or Roppongi areas. The location of the hotel is very good: around the corner you have the Sensoji temple complex. The oldest temple in Tokyo surounded by a 5 stories pagode and other smaller temples. Linked to this complex is a fantastic shopping area with tens (hundreds?) of small shops. A good place to buy a yucata, a japanese sword or other souvenirs at decent prices. And then linked to that shopping area you have an area with many restaurants and bars. For the beer drinking tourists (belgians, british, germans etc...) I can recommend" D's diner". They have an excelent choice of foreign beers and the food prepared in the open kitchen is excellent. You are also close to the Sumida river where you can take a boot trip and view Tokyo from the water.
The breakfast is free to all customers but don't expect it to be some bread and milk. You will get a wide variety of japanese cuisine, espcially good for people who prefer to have warm food in the morning.
The triple room I stayed in consists of a single bed and a bunk bed. The metal bed frame is quite sturdy there wasn't any noise.
This is my first stay in Super Hotel series and I'll definitely choose Super Hotel in my next visit.
Location-wise, it's about 400m away from the Asakusa Station (Tobu Line & Tokyo Metro Ginza Line). Pretty straightforward walk, and it was convenient to get to the hotel from Narita Airport either via the Keisei Line or Skyaccess. Nikko was in my itinerary, so it's also easy for me since there is a direct train at Asakusa Station. While there is no Jr line at Asakusa - the subway still goes to places like Shibuya, Ginza and Ueno, transfers are generally quick and easy. You also don't get those hordes of people at Asakusa, which is something that I appreciate. The hotel is right next to Sensoji Temple, so you can easily access the temple day and night. Night view at Sensoji Temple is a must-see.
Room was comfortable and clean, albeit it being small. I travelled alone, so it was fine - there's just about walking space for you to open up your luggage. But since most hotel rooms in Tokyo are not big, this is really decent for the price you are paying. The double bed turned out to be quite comfortable, and you can choose your pillow at the front desk. The default one they had in the room is rather hard, with small pebbles in them. For ladies, you can also get a set of pyjamas, and also 5 toiletries items per night. Amenities in the room were great for a no-frill like Super Hotel, including a good hair-dryer, and wifi was very stable.
Breakfast is rather simple and self-service styled at an area near the front desk. I thought it would have been better if the breakfast was served till later, say 9.30am. It stops at 8.30am on weekdays and 9am on weekends. Service staff at the front desk were helpful and polite, and had a decent command of English. I could also leave my luggage with them for the day when my flight out of Tokyo was a little late. And I like the fact that no check-out is required, it makes things relatively easy.
Good stay experience in general.
