Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast buffet is Japanese-focused — While the breakfast is well-regarded, the selection is mostly Japanese with only a small Western section. Guests wanting a full Western breakfast may need to look elsewhere.
- Facilities score is the lowest category — Facilities received a 7.5, lower than other aspects, suggesting some limitations in on-site amenities beyond the basics.
- No pets allowed — The hotel policy prohibits pets, which may be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight cannot check in until the next day.

8.6Verified guest“Excellent stay – the facilities were top-notch and breakfast was delicious with a great variety of Japanese dishes and proteins. Perfect location by the Sumida River, close to the temple, museum, gardens, Ekimise, Asahi, Skytree and Asakusa Station.”
8.6Verified guest“Great accommodation right next to Don Quijote, cafes and restaurants in a lively area with festivals and markets. Staff were knowledgeable and perfect, service in and out was amazing. Food was appetising, and breakfast was delicious and sensational. Great choice for a trip.”
8.6Verified guest“The hotel feels very new and the extras were fantastic – bathroom accessories and a complimentary gift package for women. It's a different side of Tokyo compared to the lights of Shinjuku – we loved the old shitamachi vibe. We chose it for being close to Asakusa Station for our early train to Nikko, and it was much better value than Shinjuku.”
8.6Verified guest“The breakfast deal was perfect and delicious, with Japanese options, hot meals, and Japanese fare. Central location, easy to get to Nakamise shopping street.”
8.6Verified guest“Don't miss the octopus millefeuille at Karaage Toyama-an – a lovely crunchy delight! The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and I slept quietly. The location was spot-on for exploring Asakusa's vibrant streets.”
8.6Verified guest“Excellent breakfast to start the day with Western foods and options. Charming location, a short walk to everywhere.”
