My favourite hotel

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 May 2023via mobile
This is an old fashioned hotel and has not been modernised.
However, many aspects of old fashioned have advantages.

We have stayed here regularly over the years, attracted by
the hotel’s perfect location. It is a short walk to the Asakusa
underground station and the Tobu line. It is also surrounded
by hundreds of shops and restaurants to suit all budgets.

Sadly, the Covid epidemic has lead to some of the familiar
faces at reception having disappeared, but those remaining
and the new additions maintain the same friendliness and
high level of service.

The rooms in the main building are quite spacious, with ample
room for our four cases. Two large double beds, good lighting,
plenty of electrical points for charging cameras, laptops and
other travel essentials. A good sized wardrobe and chest of
drawers. Large TV and refrigerator. Good desk and side table
with two chairs. Not everyone travels with an IPhone so telephones
on the bedside table and in the bathroom, with outside
connection were extremely welcome. Most of the hotels during
our trip had no phones and the few that did were only for
contact with reception.

Ice machine, coin laundry and microwave available on third floor.
Restaurant, with low cost breakfast on first floor and convenience
store on the ground floor.

The decor is a little dull, the carpets near the lift on the upper floors
are somewhat stained, but the space and convenience are more
than adequate compensation.
Date of stay: May 2023
Room Tip: Try to book a room on the 5th or 6th floors. The 7th and 8th floors were formerly smoking rooms...
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

First off, the location is incredible - literally steps from Senso-ji. This makes it a great place to stay especially if you are a first time visitor to Tokyo and want to see the main attractions - the skytree is also within walking distance. It was my third time in the city, so I knew my way around already, but I did enjoy walking away from the tourist places and finding new sides to Asakusa as a district.

The staff members were fantastic. My room was a little dated, but super clean and had everything I needed. Endless eating/drinking options on the same street, and there's even a 7-11 inside the hotel. It's also within walking distance to Ueno Station too. If you enjoy walking and want a break away from the tourist vibe of Asakua, then I recommend walking along the banks of the Sumida river - steps from hotel - from Asakusa, heading south and enjoying the little known solitude that Tokyo can provide.

I just spent 5 nights in a single room at their main building. I love the location and how it is close to everything in Asakusa. The room was soundproofed so I didn't get the street noise. The housekeeping was done by lovely elderly ladies who leave a bag of neatly folded towels and pyjamas at your door if you have a 'do not disturb' sign out.

I didn't sleep very well as the duvet was a little dirty. They use a main duvet and line it with a bedsheet on its underside which means they don't wash the duvet and change only the sheet during room service. I found dust and hairs on the duvet so I requested for extra sheets to put between myself and the duvet. The management should seriously reconsider their bedding, especially for guests who are allergic/sensitive to dust.

The front desk staff were helpful enough. Oddly, they refused my request to make a table reservation for a restaurant. I approached 2 staff members and they were adamant about not providing this service to guests. Finally, after much persuasion, I managed to get a lady to very reluctantly make a call to the restaurant. It was a very strange policy.

I wish to thank a front desk staff - a young, bespectacled man- who assisted me in booking a taxi on 28 Jan, around 10:45pm and very very kindly took the trouble to take my luggage out in the pouring rain for the taxi.

Overall, my one and only complaint is the bedding. Otherwise, I had a good experience and the location can't be beat.

The only great thing about the Hotel is it's location. The breakfast was disappointing - choices as well as service. The restaurant was under staffed. We requested for a portable phone with wifi service but there was none. Pajamas was provided but it came in one size only -small. The heater in my room was not working and it was difficult to get help as the staff couldn't converse in English. Disappointed.

Affordable for a 4 day 3 night stay. If you'll be out late because of exploring and touring you'll be please to know they have a microwave you can use to heat or re-heat the food you bought before going in your room. Sufficient for your stay. They also understand English which is great if you don't know how to speak Japanese that much.

This somewhat dated but very clean comfortable hotel has a great location in Asakusa, just a few blocks from everything you want to see. Easy to find from Asakusa metro station, the staff is very friendly-they even offered me a choice of rooms. The onsen/spa in the basement is quite nice and the toiletries smell wonderful, like green tea/pine. Even the breakfast (included) was more than adequate. The room had a retro-style headboard with lights, clock, etc built right in. There's a little pot in the room for tea but also more than big enough to boil a couple of eggs. The window even opened (I was on the 5th floor) giving me a breath of fresh air in the morning. Would definately stay here again.

Room tip: Room 511 is very quiet
