The hotel is pretty okay, the room we got looked a bit run down with the wallpaper coming off on some walls and what looked to be mold on the window sill. The bed was clean, which is all that really mattered to us, as we spent our whole days outside anyway. The staff are very nice, and the cleaners were thorough, even arranged our plushies in a cute way. The location is okay, you got a shrine nearby, as well as some konbini, however it's kinda far away from the main attractions of Tokyo. What really irked me is the fact that you have to pay 1000¥ per day to watch videos on demand, 1000¥ for the whole stay would have been okay, but daily is a bit greedy, considering hotels like APA have more for free. All in all, if you can get a cheap price, it's not a bad stay if you're out all day.

Stayed here with my wife for two weeks last year.The service was good. They offered basic hygiene equipment on the reception (Sponges, toothbrushes, slippers etc.)Cleaning service every day between 9-11am.We booked breakfast, but the taste is different from European breakfast. They had omelette, fish, rice, miso soup, sausages, coffee, tea, and a few more things. However, after the first 5 mornings you might get bored because the food selection is always the same.We had a double room, size was as small as you can expect in Japan. It was enough for us.Minifridge, tea kettle and tea mugs were available.Location is great. Asakusa station 10 minutes away, Park on the river, Ferry to Odaiba 10 min away, Skytree 20 minutes away and of course the Asakusa temple and underground/subway from Asakusa station to Shinuya covering all important stations.

The room is quite small, and toothbrushes, razors, combs, etc. are provided.Get it from the lobby on the first floor. There is a room for two people, but the bed should be a single king size.The toilet is also small, with shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, and lotion.The smell is consistent, it should be some kind of tea smell, not too strong,0.9-1 km from any station in Asakusa,It is inconvenient to walk with luggage. There is WiFi but it will disconnect and reconnect from time to time.After using it for a period of time, it will start to cause your eyes to roll🙄👈🏻🤣🤣🤣,If you just sleep for one night, it's still acceptable.There will be no cleaning on the second day of the two-day stay, only replacement towels will be provided.The air conditioner is a central air conditioner, and only the air volume can be adjusted.The price is lower, but the above conditions need to be considered.
