Great location, decent proximity to Asakusa Station for the price. The only downside is the scent of smoke in both the elevator and the hallways. Otherwise, as long as you get a non-smoking room, the smell is fine. The breakfast is quite decent as well, it's buffet style with all the staples.

Overall the room is small but all in all this is Tokyo so there is no...

First hotel when I arrived in Japan (3 nights) , salary man hotel, showa style hotel, all you need is there if you are not picky (razors, bathrobe, tea...). Rooms are a bit old, smells old, it's a bit unsettling at first but I got used to it. I would come back. And very nice staff. The breakfast however is not very tasty, but there's a Lawson right in front of the hotel. And the view by night !

Room is tiny and smelly. The corridor is smoky. Room amenities are old. It’s not renovated for decades. Moved out to another hotel nearby immediately.
