Good hotel with a great location, only 5 min walk from Tawaramachi station exit 2. This area is a bit out of the town, quite quiet during night time. But there is a Family Mart and 7/11 nearby the hotel. The room is small but well equipped, is great for couple.

Well the photos are all very positive and show the best of the hotel's recent refurbishment. However entering the room (which wasn't the smallest we had in Tokyo) it was rather sparse. Items which we had been provided with in a similar priced hotel were optional extras, more pillows, ionizer (they love them in Japan), tea bags, hairdryer etc were all added extras to pay for at the reception. Hotel was however reasonably priced for the two of us for two nights. Our room had a limited freshen up (new wallpaper), but the shower/bathroom was tired - we must have had one that wasn't updated. The staff were friendly enough and did let us leave the bags after checkout for a few hours. There's a good amount to do in the area and the hotel is almost on top of a subway station (Tawaramachi).
Excellent hotel! We got a very good deal online and after backpacking for three weeks this was super luxurious! Very friendly staff, super nice room, good location with close to two subways, great beds and the toilet was awesome with a heated seat!
I can highly recommend it. Only bad thing - no breakfast!
Hotel is brand new, the rooms are very small but that's the standard in Japan. Room is very clean and bed is confortable. If you don't speak japanese, there is no point of turning the TV on.
Wi-Fi sometimes doesn't work properly in the room. The hotel staff is very helpful and ready to help in any questions you might have.
Great location, just a block away from the subway station. Great hotel for the price charged.
Since I live near Tokyo, I am constantly searching for a hotel that is reasonably priced that doesn't have beds that feel like I may as well sleep on the floor. I almost achieved it with this hotel.
Asakusa is far out of the way to Shinjuku and Shibuya but Asakusa offers a ton of touristy things to do and it is an easy walk to Tawaramachi subway station and about a 15 minute walk to Sensoji which is a main tourist attraction in the area.
The room, of course, was tiny. This is just life in Tokyo, though. TV was wall mounted so you still had some desk space which was nice. My room was on the 8th floor, and had a little view of Tokyo Sky Tree which was an added bonus. It wasn't a clear, full on view, but still.
The bed was firm. It didn't quite match what I wanted. The comforter and pillow were acceptable, though which put it a step above most crappy beds in Tokyo.
As for price, i got a great deal though one of the major hotel booking sites. The place is good, but don't bother spending over 8000 yen for a double room or anything.
When I went to check in, the staff told me to wait on an English-speaking staff member. I told them it wasn't necessary and they continued to check me in. So, it does seem that they have English speaking staff but if it was a busy day, you might have to wait a while to check in.
They rent a variety of things like hair straight irons and ipads. I didn't check the price and was a bit surprised to find it not written ANYWHERE in the hotel itself. That information is on their website but no where to be found in the rooms or lobby.
The design is very modern and trendy which sometimes makes a big difference in how you feel about the place.
Stylish and Modern hotel and very conveniently located - literally 1 minute walk from the metro station. Must admit that the standard double(bed) room is quite small (barely layout my luggage flat on the floor), but to me the most important thing is being in a "clean & tidy" room.
The staff are friendly and can speak enough English to respond with everything we asked.
I'd definitely recommend anyone who plans to stay in Tokyo for just a weekend / quick get-away to try this out!
