Hotel Keihan Asakusa

Firstly, I LOVE the location of this hotel! The location is very strategic! Its about 5 mins walking distance to ROX (small departmental store), Donquijote and Uniqlo is just behind the hotel as well as Senso-ji temple! Amazing! 7-Eleven is just 2 mins from the hotel too. There is a Family Mart, Lawson and Mr. Donut across the street. For muslims, there is Sushi Ken which is about 5 mins away, on the same block. There is also a kebab store across the street that sells scrumptious shawarma! Regretting not getting another shawarma a few days before we left. The subway locations is quite near. Those that carry more than 2 pieces of luggage, please stop at Tawaramachi station as it has a lift. Do not stop at Asakusa station! Oh, there is also a duty free pharmacy on the same block about 5 mins away. No worries about forgetting any essential basic first aid. The hotel has very attentive staff that are at the front desk 24 hours. They can converse in English very well. Checking in was a breeze and it only lasted a few minutes. However, if you plan on checking in early and the room is ready, be mindful that you may have to pay a certain fee for early check in. If you don't want to pay the fee, you can leave your luggage near the front desk and roam around Asakusa area until its time to check in. The hotel has amenities that you can take at the front desk for free. Amenities include, moisturizer, toner, body lotion, body towel, toothbrush and toothpaste, tea, coffee, etc. Basically, you can come here without bringing any toilettries with you! More room to bring home awesome Japanese skincare. Ladies, please bring your sanitary pads, though. They have a 2 in 1 washer and dryer which is very convenient and you have to pay 500 yen at any given time for both functions. Bear in mind you would have to do the laundry either bright and early which is before 6am or later around 11am to avoid the crowd as there are only 2 units of the washer and dryer.

We liked every aspect of this hotel. The location was just a few minutes from Asakusa Tsukuba Station which isn't JR but you could easily go to Akihabara to transfer and get to anywhere you wanted to go. You were just a few minutes walk from Sensouji Temple. Great location! The breakfast was excellent. I love curry and it was served every morning. Both Japanese and western foods were available. The coffee was excellent and I was super happy they had ice and water to fill my water bottle. The rooms were spacious for Japan and the beds were so comfortable. Coin laundry available and you didn't have to buy detergent, it was included. Staff was super nice and no language issues at all.

The hotel location is near to Asakusa shopping and stone throw to Asakusa Tusbuku line. The walk to Tarawamachi Ginza line is about 6-7min. The room is very small so if you are travelling with multiple luggage, it will challenging. The furniture in the room is very old. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bathroom amenities are self service at the lobby. This hotel is recommended if you wanna explore Asakusa and Ueno area. Its walkable to Ueno, about 20 mins walk. Nean a 24 hrs DonDonki and 711.

From top to bottom really impressed with the hotel. Rooms are basic and a little small but that's par for the course in Japan. Great location (multiple stations within 10 mins walk for easy access across Tokyo and even for a direct line to Nikko). Breakfast had a small amount of variation day to day but the variety on offer we found great, also the option to take small snacks over breakfast later in the day (with breakfast included bookings) was nice to have. Facilities on the whole were solid, good bathrooms in the rooms and in shared areas, adequate laundry etc. Staff were also excellent, good communication and helped with every question we had. Would highly recommend.

1. The TOTO bathroom was nicely equipped with toilet, bath & shower requirements. 2. Housekeeping - room is vacuumed & cleaned daily. 3. Quiet - the standard room is pleasantly quiet. 4. The hotel’s entrance is disabled friendly; no steps & lift from ground floor (level 1) to upper levels. 5. The hotel was responsive & helped to arrange overseas delivery of an item I left behind in the room.
