Fantastic location! Asakusa is a perfect place to stay: easy access from Narita airport by Keisei line/Asakusa line, lots of attractions, walkable distance to other spots in Tokyo. The hostel is simple with some common area, separate bathrooms for men and women; perfect if you only sleep there. Easy to find (Rox should be your point of reference then Lawson).
Thank you very much for your staying, and the feedback. We are delighted that you like our place, "location". We appreciate for your support, hoping to see you again.

Geat location.. 10 min Sensoji, 20 min Ueno stn (if you want to walk). Helpful staff - hold my luggage free of charge for 10 days! prior to check-in so I could travel with my backpack only. Personally I love places like this, they provide Japanese atmosphere thanks to futon, tatami, green tea set, sakura wallpaper. etc. In my reservation it was said "share shower room" but I had privet toilet and bathroom with bath and shower, so I was really happy. I have read other comments, and there were mentioning mold... i guess this is just the tatami smell, anyway maybe people with allergic reaction to everything should consider staying in places with tatami. Other advice.. if you are taller than me (170) you will probably hit walls of toilet with knee or elbow... if you want to use dryer wait till it shows "0" do not throw money quickly as you will never see then again. To sum up, it was a pleasure to stay at this hostel and when (not if) I visit again I will use this place for sure.
Thank you very much for your stay, and the feedback. We are glad that the stay was good for you. And hope you will have a chance to consider us again in the future, appreciating for your support.

the hostel has friendly staff who give us a lot of information to find exciting places nearby. They are really welcome to help you. The place is not easy to find because it get some blocks from main road, so you have to ask people around or using your GPS to get it. There is a lot of restaurants and minimarkets nearby.
Thank you very much for your staying, and the feedback.

This hotel wasn't expensive (I paid 4500 yen for a single room). The staff was friendly.
It had a pretty good location and is also close kappa bashi street (where they sell kitchen goods and I'd like to visit more next trip). It is a little old but still nice. You get a private toilet and tub. They had the softest pillows on my whole 1 week trip to Japan and the futon was comfortable. It was fairly quiet when I stayed there. I would stay here again and I thought it was good value.

Stayed here for 3 nights in a Twin room. This hotel is 6 min walking distance from Tawaramachi Metro subway station. Asakusa Metro Subway is further away on a 12min walk. Can be a bit tricky to locate as it is in a small lane. Rox Asakusa Shopping Mall is a good landmark to locate and can be found opposite the main street.
Staff were friendly and approachable. Hotel's bathroom and toilet is small but this is to be expected of most budget hotel in Japan. Will be good if there's hooks in the bathroom however as there's no place to hang towels or clothes. Room was relatively clean and there's tea set, bath/hand towels, basic bathroom amenities & Yukata for nightwear. You can get drinking water at the hallway outside. There's also a fridge at the hallway where you can placed your chilled items.
Hotel is near to many eating places and Don Quijote. You can walk to Sensoji Temple & Nakamise Street in 8 mins. Will stay here again if I stay in Asakusa!
