“Fantastic Location”

Stayed here for 3 nights with my boyfriend during the first part of our stay in Tokyo, before moving onto Shinjuku. Location wise, it is excellent. A short walk from Senso-ji Temple and the vibrant shopping streets, we were spoilt in terms of nearby activities. It's still a busy area, but I'm so glad we stayed here first rather than going straight to the more overwhelming Shinjuku. Jet lagged me doesn't like too many crowds. The room was clean, with cleaners coming every day. The shower was nice and warm. The hotel also offers free beer though we didn't have time to try this. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms are a bit on the small side but for 2 3 nights I didn't mind this. Oh and one of the most important things- the bed was very comfortable.

“Amazing location at an affordable price”

Small business type hotel but it's an amazing location and the staff are kind and helpful. The rooms are on the small side, as it usual with a business hotel in Japan. Things looked a little older, but everything was clean and worked. The front desk staff were always kind and helpful. They help… more

Small business type hotel but it's an amazing location and the staff are kind and helpful. The rooms are on the small side, as it usual with a business hotel in Japan. Things looked a little older, but everything was clean and worked. The front desk staff were always kind and helpful. They helped us forward our luggage and answered questions about the area. There is also free beer, like a hotel sponsored happy hour, in the lobby at certain times. We picked this hotel because of the amazing location. You can walk to Senso-ji in like 8 minutes from this hotel, yet it's not insanely crowded in front of around the hotel. It is also fairly close to several train stations.

“MINIMAL BUDGET HOTEL FOR A SHORT STAY”

This was a good average standard 3-star hotel, recommended for a possible night or 2 nights (max). Remember this is a 3-star hotel, nothing more, nothing less. The positives/The good: - Great location in the Asakusa area. Literally around the corner from the action. - Service was good, what you'd… more

This was a good average standard 3-star hotel, recommended for a possible night or 2 nights (max). Remember this is a 3-star hotel, nothing more, nothing less. The positives/The good: - Great location in the Asakusa area. Literally around the corner from the action. - Service was good, what you'd expect from a 3-star hotel. - Rooms were very clean and with good amenities (the Japanese have redefined the amount of amenities in hotel rooms - which is excellent - and better than any other country) - Free beer in the evening for about an hour. A nice little touch. Honestly, I've stayed in countless hotels around the world and have never seen this before!! The negatives/not so good - Very small rooms. The rooms are VERY TINY. We did stay in a standard room, and honestly, it was just too small for my liking. It was hard to move around with 2 pieces of luggage on the floor. I think there needs to be a minimum size for a hotel room, and this just did not meet it. I understand it's Japan, but the room was too small. So I'd recommend only a night or 2, we only stayed a night/day stay. Other than that, it was fine. It was not a bad hotel at all.

“Needs to try harder”

Great location near a metro station and the Senso-ji Temple, BUT inferior to many hotels in Japan. In particular, the breakfast buffet is very disappointing. As often happens in Tokyo, the rooms are very small. Stayed with Explore tour, so not chosen by ourselves.
