Good position, close to Gina line subway and about 600m from Asakusa train station. Lots of food place around for breakfast and dinner. Twin room had good space but the beds were quite hard. Microwave provided on floor 2 and coin laundry and ice machine on floor 3. Would be happy to stay again.

Staff was courteous and readily available. Amenities were easily accessible in the lobby and we had a smooth time checking in and out of the hotel. However, the cleanliness of the rooms could be improved, as well as the layout. We found that the lack of racks, hooks, or counter space in the bathroom made it challenging to use the bathroom hygienically and conveniently.

We had a great stay. The place is super close to the Ginza line subway and close to a lot of nice places as well like Donki, Gu, and the temple to name a few. The staff are nice as well. The room that we had stayed is small but cute and clean. We got the room next to the smallest one in size. It's enought for two large baggages and 2 carry on luggages. They also have free toiletries close to the front desk as well as coffee and juice. Laundry and ice on the 3rd floor and microwave and vending machine on the 2nd.

Very close to the main Asakusa sights but far enough that you don’t have to be in the crowds around the hotel. Very close to the Ginza train line and that was really great after a log day out. Felt safe walking early in the morning and late at night. Continence stores and restaurants close by. They have coin laundry on site that worked well.

Room is extremely small - only enough space to open a medium or carry-on suitcase, with almost no walking space. Bathroom is tiny and outdated, feeling more like a camper van washroom, and could use some upgrades. Nice amenities and excellent location near tourist attractions and the Ginza Line station.

Highly recommended. Less than 5 minutes walk from Tawaramachi Station(Ginza Line). From Toei Asakusa Station Exit 2B (which serves both Narita & Haneda Airports) is less than 12 mintues walk. The reason you need to use Exit 2B is because this is the exit that has an elevator to go to street level. The hotel provides 24 hr coffee and juices at the lobby at a DIY corner. Easy access to everywhere in Tokyo using the Ginza Line. Many F&B outlets around but location is not over tourism. Walking distance to Asakusa and Kitchen Town. To ensure you get a good rate, book 6 months in advance like me.

Smelly, not clean

The lobby is nice but the rooms are in rough condition. The bathrooms smell bad and the carpet was dirty - they seem to have trouble cleaning. The air conditioning barely worked - the room was too warm and humid. I found other people's hair on the desk and in the bathroom. The only nice things in the room are the pillows and duvets. I really can't recommend staying here, it's gross. I also stayed in an APA hotel which was amazing in comparison, and it was around the same price.

Location and staffing was great.

Cleanliness, however is poor. Can see the dust and dirt around the corners of the room and shower area. The room doors have gaps so you can hear everyone from the hallway, and walls are thin enough to hear the vacuum cleaning and cleaners.

Additionally for those that have dust allergies or sensitivity to bedding/rooms, I would avoid this hotel if possible. The duvet sheet was too itchy for me to use. Luckily the hotel had provided thick blankets new from the cleaners, but this shouldn’t have been necessary in the beginning. Also I found bug bites where my allergic reactions to the sheets was; and I wouldn’t be surprised it was from being in the hotel bed.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had mixed feelings about my experience.
On the positive side, the breakfast served at the hotel was good, they have a western style and Japanese style breakfast. We liked both.
However, I felt that the hotel needs some renovations as it looked a bit run down. The walls in our room were pretty dirty and in need of a good cleaning. Speaking of the room, it was incredibly tiny which made it hard to move around, even though my daughter and I are both petite women. Overall, while it was a decent stay, I wouldn't recommend it for a vacation trip.\"

Hotel and staff nice but my room, not so much...

The hotel and staff was good but my room wasn't. The window was facing a wall (it was less than 2 meters away) which made the room very dark and claustrophobic. One of the lights wasn't working so the room was even darker. But worse of all, there was a very loud \"turbine\" sound at night which kept me awake most of the nights (I stayed there 3 nights).

I'm sure the other rooms were fine. I was just very unlucky to get that room. So if you're travelling alone, avoid the rooms nr 31 of each floor. They're the ones facing the wall of the other building.

Good hotel, well located, a bit dated.

We checked into the hotel as normal and was given a small room, which is the standard size in Tokyo. The hotel was easy to find, just round the corner from the metro, with easy connection to Ueno station by the Ginza line (2 stops away) , and from Ueno its direct to Narita airport, therefore, very practical if you are flying from Narita Airport.

The air in the room was humid and there was condensation due to air conditioning on some objects around the room. Upon flagging this to the hotel staff, they were quick to move us to another (larger) room which we greatly appreciated, therefore, service is very good, and staff are excellent and very nice. The second room had much better ventilation. The room itself is a bit dated when compared to 2 other hotels i stayed in Tokyo, especially the bathroom, but everything worked with no issue. To be aware that the laundry's dryer did not dry completely our clothes which we had to hang around in our room to let to dry.

First time in Tokyo

We stayed in 2 different rooms withkn the hotel. The first was extremely small and almost clostrophobic. The second was much bigger and very comfortable.

The hotel is only a few metres from a station on the Ginza line which is accessible from Narita airport (Google this to make sure catch the right train). This also allows you to easilly and relatively cheaply travel around Tokyo.

The hotel is a short walk from a variety of tourist sights as well as a great variety of restaurants and a number of mini marts.

I would happily stay there again.
