For Westerners this was a chance to have a more authentic Japanese-style hotel experience, with a no-shoes-inside policy and great onsen (hot spring baths) and Japanese breakfast. That can be different to get used to but enhanced the experience overall. It was overall a good experience. Room was attractive and clean. Bed placement in a corner wasn't great for a couple where we both need to get out. Great location.
We stayed the second time in this hotell, (first in December and second time in March again) because we like the hotel for many reasons. The basic room is comfy with spacious size, great view over the sensoji temple and sky tree, great location with walking distance to hobby street and the shopping streets. It has great onsen and well-maintained in clean condition. The bath products is pola which smells so well. The buffet breakfast is great and balanced with varieties of Japanese flavors which includes fresh sashimi rice, and western side with enough choices, cakes and snacks. The kitchen provides free supper noodle which is tasty and fresh! It has resting room with comics, massage chairs and free snacks like popsicles and yakults.
We also thank for the house keeping who kept our room nice and clean for the next day. Staff communicates not bad in English speaking with us, or a few using translator apps which works ok too. I would choose this place again when I come back to Asakusa! It is still my favourite after I tried 6 different hotels in this area for price and quality stay.
Baths were a highlight with sauna, jacuzzi, cold tub, and hot springs. Good location in Asakusa and clean, comfortable modern Japanese style rooms. Recommend!
