A bit far from stations but with complete amenities

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Dec 2, 2012
Before I arrived, I expected some difficulties in moving in this hotel with luggage. In fact, it was easier than thought. Japanese footpaths contain slopes which make towing luggage on a long walk an easy job. We can tow our luggage from Kuramae subway station all the way to the hotel without needs to lift it up. A walk across Sumida river is nice with Tokyo Skytree view that we feel obliged to take a photo when we crossed for the first time.

The premise has complete amenities including microwave in your room, which we used to heat-up frozen ramen/ packed meal set bought at convenience stores nearby for tomorrow breakfast. Laundry room consists of both washing machine and drying machine (with hot air). Bathroom facility is a bit old but is clean and in good condition. Other furniture looks new and clean. Our triple room has one small bedroom and living/dining area in another room. The bedroom is already full with three beds so it feel cramped if you have some luggage. As for internet, it has free LAN cable in the room, which we used with pocket access point to get WiFi connection for our moblie phones.

Overall, it's a very good accommodation given what we pay for, better than expected and complete our requirements for the trip.

Note: if you come from Kuramae/Oedo line with luggage, use exit A5 with elevator instead of exit A7

Thank you very much for staying at Weekly Mansion Asakusa.

We are sincerely appreciated by reading your feedback.
Hopefully, you and your family could spend pleasant time during stay.
As you mentioned, our closest train station is Oedo Line, Kuramae station.
It takes about 5 minutes from Exit A7.
If you take Exit A5, there is an elevator near wickets for people who have carrying items.
Some people might think it is a little bit far from the station, but most of our guests provide same comments and opinions with you.

Weekly Mansion Asakusa has been carried out construction of renovation until end of 2012.
However, we are still operate with some guest rooms have been remodeled.

Staffs are trying very hard to provide the best deals.
There are many different types of plans or discount available depending on the stay plan you choose. Please refer to Weekly Mansion Tokyo official website for various offers.

Thank you very much again for taking your time to review your stay with us.
We will look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Have a wonderful winter holiday season!

This was my 4th year staying at the WMT Asakusa. It represents great value for money . I don't spend a great deal of time in my room while on holiday, so having ultra-luxury is not important for me. What's important is all there ... free internet, desk, tv, phone, fridge, microwave, and especially the on-site laundry machines. One of the biggest drawcards of this hotel for me is the cheap bike rental - just 1000yen for a month (shorter times available too) is less than you'd pay for a single day in many other countries. Cycling around Tokyo is a great way to see the city, and being able to rent the bike from your hotel is super-convenient. Areas such as Ginza, Akihabara, Asakusa and Jimbocho can all be reached easily on bike within a half hour's (easy) ride.

The hotel is in a quiet suburb - but Post Office, Supermarket, Subway and convenience stores are all within a block of the hotel.

The reception staff are all super-friendly and helpful, making a stay at WMT Asakusa always a pleasure. For sure I'll be back next year!

My trip to Japan was a lengthy 22 day trip, 16 of which we stayed at this weekly mansion, and it would only have been possible to make such a long trip with this little gem. Check in was easy and they let us split the payments, letting me pay the remainder when we wanted, the staff were friendly, understanding and very helpful however not all fully fluent in english, but they seemed to keep a fluent speaker on hand. My only surprised was the size of the room, it was smaller then I expected, especially the bathroom, if you are taller then average (greater then 6 foot), you may have some difficulty otherwise it had all the amenities that mostly anyone would need, (if you need to iron something ask the staff for the iron and board) For many of the 16 days we saved a lot of money by using the fridge and set-top cooker and pans to cook our own meals. In terms of comfort, the bed was very nice, sheets were warm, best of all the window has a solid sliding door which keeps the room nicely dark for those late morning wake-ups. As for location, you can easily walk to Asakusa, Tokyo Sky Tree, many different convenience stores and mini-marts and several train/subway lines, the closest of which is only a 5 minute walk once reached will take you to almost anywhere else in the city via subs/trains.

Essentially, for it's location, amenities, and flexibility, Weekly Mansion Asakusa offers one of the best deals for those looking to save money on a very expensive city like Tokyo. And i highly recommend it, especially if your looking at staying longer then just a few days.

This is truly a find for travellers who need value for money in Tokyo. At first we were a bit worried about the location: the fastest and cheapest way to get here from Narita (1060yen) is to take the Keisei line - but you need to change trains at Aoto, then Oshiage to get to Kuramae station. It's not as bad as it sounds, and you only need to cross the platform to take connecting trains. Just check that the train is the correct one, not express or branching off. The train carriages have the stations on a screen, or the platforms have a subway map. When you get to Kuramae, you take exit 2 to street level, go right to the end of the street, then right again on Kasuga Dori across the bridge. Cross over to the left hand side of Kausuga Dori and Weekly Mansions is 2 blocks down with a highly visible sign indicating entry. Staff is of course, efficient and polite.

We get to the room, and despite the small rooms which is to be expected: you need to provide nothing as everything is provided for your stay. Towels, dressing gowns, slippers & toiletries including liquid soap, liquid shampoo, toothbrushes/ paste, hairdryer, induction cooktop, pots/ dishes/ cutlery/ cookware and even a little rice-cooker. There is a lan cable for free internet, heating in both bedroom and main room, a good sized refrigerator (we are in a twin/ triple room).
You can get a good area map downstairs in the lobby - which we used to find a 24hr supermarket 20 minutes walk away, as well as precise locations of food places and train stations. It is now our third day here, and we borrowed the portable washing machine available for free, just to see what it was. It's like an electric salad spinner that you fill up with a few clothes, soap and water, and it agitates away. Japanese ingenuity!
There's a lot more that Weekly Mansions provide, but this is just to give you a good idea. Please contact me if you want to know more - it is only our third day here, and we are so impressed!
ps the reason I gave sleep quality a little less, is because of the wheat pillows which I personally find a little hard. But this is purely subjective: otherwise there was plenty of clean bedding/ duvets/ blankets.

Room tip: there was only my daughter and I, and the price of the twin room was the same as a triple. We used the extra bed for unpacked clothing - and I would imagine the amenities were for 3 persons - not needed.
