Had a pleasant and comfortable stay in Tokyo with easy access to public transportation.
Pros:

Great location across the street from the Buddhist Temple and Tourist area. Short walk to two subway stations for 2 different routes.

Fantastic freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast.

Cons:

The breakfast menu was a little limited.

The roof top bar was a bit expensive.

立地のいいビジネスホテル
Pros:

浅草駅から徒歩3分圏内と立地はいい
浅草メインに観光したい人にはいいかもしれない
テックインした後に外出してきて部屋に戻る際に
フロント階を経由しなくて済む導線はいい

Cons:

フロントや食事会場の華やかさが客室にまで波及していない。
このBooking.comでも最初に出てくる画像をイメージして泊まるとがっかりするかもしれない。
また客室はフロント階より下にあるためひらけた景色ではない

Low-standard, smelly hotel
Pros:

Very good location, nice view from the reception.

Cons:

Terrible breakfast with a poor selection and questionable freshness of products. The non-smoking rooms reek of cigarette smoke. The reception, which has a nice view, is located on the top floor, but the rooms are below it, and the view from the room window is very ugly. The room wasn't very clean, and the bathroom toiletries were low quality. The furniture is old, scratched, and battered. Overall, the room was dark and smelly.

Great home base for your Tokyo visit
Pros:

This is a great hotel for a number of reasons:
1) Location - It is almost directly across the street from the famous Asakusa Gate. This part of town is super popular during the day as a tourist attraction. However, the dinner scene here is pretty good as well with tourists and locals alike. There are many restaurants and bars to fit any budget. It is also only 1 trin stop away from Tokyo Skytree. If views from tall towers are your thing, this is a good one. (It isn't my thing but it's beautiful to look at from the hotel.)
2) Although busy, it is not as crowded as other main subway stations. Even during the popular daytime rush, it's not nearly as bad as the Shinjuku or Shibuya areas.
3) They do have a breakfast included rate with a fair breakfast.
4) The room we had was spacious and well appointed.

NOTE: you can get here directly from Narita Airport using the Keisei Access Express (basically just the subway) and, while not the quickest train, is super easy. If you have luggage, be ready to carry them up a number of flights of stairs at the station. Exit the station using exit 4 and turn right (toward main street). Then turn left and you will see the gate. The hotel is about 3 short blocks down, across the street from the gate.
