Great location and hotel
Pros:

The location is great. Close to the Asakusa shopping and temple area. Great rooftop restaurant with breakfast buffet. Yum! The staff was so friendly and everyone spoke English which was a bonus! Clean, nicely decorated modern rooms. We booked another Gate hotel during our visit. We like it that much.

Cons:

Nothing

Perfekt
Pros:

Die Lage ist super, zudem der Ausblick auf den Skytower. Die Größe des Zimmers war ok und das Bett bequem. Badezimmer war sauber und recht neu.

Cons:

Der Rezeptionsbereich könnte etwas gemütlicher zum Hinsetzen sein.

Unexpected privacy, calm, and comfort.
Pros:

The soundproofing was excellent, and the beds were very comfortable. Housekeeping was impeccable, with thorough cleaning and thoughtful replenishment of amenities. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff were attentive, professional, and consistently helpful.

Because breakfast and check-in were located on an upper floor, the hotel felt especially private. We appreciated being able to go directly to our room and rarely encountered other guests on our floor. Given the busy neighborhood and frequent rain during our stay, the hotel’s calm atmosphere was a welcome retreat. Elevator wait times were never an issue.

Overall, we were very impressed and would gladly stay at other hotels in this brand.

Cons:

After our trip was disrupted by the typhoon, we had to rebook at significantly higher rates and paid extra for a deluxe room with a view. Unfortunately, our initial room was dated and overlooked a neighboring building and air-conditioning units. A staff member quickly resolved the issue by moving us to a larger room on a lower floor, which we loved. Their assistance turned around what had been a difficult start to our trip. While Asakusa is very convenient, many nearby subway stations are older and lack escalators, making travel with luggage challenging. The area is also extremely crowded on weekends.

Pros:

The hotel was in a central location which was right opposite to Sensoji and it is just a 5 minute walk to the Ginza Line Asakusa station. There is also 2 bus stops near the hotel that brings you to Ueno quickly if you do not want to take the metro. Room is spacious and clean. The staff and hotel was also very observant and noticed that the bidet in my room was damaged and offered to change my room.

Cons:

The Wifi in the room was spotty and sometimes not able to stay connected. Not sure if it is because I had multiple devices connected to the Wifi. Also, the hotel doesn't have a self laundry room, but there is a self-service laundry spot called Na Laundry that is about a 5 mins walk away from the hotel.

I will definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Very close to Asakusa train station and the major attractions of Tokyo Skytree, Nakamise Shopping Street and Senso-ji Buddhist Temple. Great view of the area from the reception as well as the top deck.

Great modern hotel in perfect placement
Pros:

Roof top view was excellent and great twin room size for brothers sharing - organised luggage forwarding to Kyoto with no hassle!

Cons:

Room/ lobby/ entrance floors took some thinking to remember directions - but no real hardship!

Great hotel
Pros:

Second time we stayed here. I like the Gate Hotels in general and their concept of having the reception and lounge area on a higher floor, friendly staff and excellent service. Everything was great at this hotel and we had a large room, which is rare in Tokyo. Hotel is perfectly located close to trains and metro. It is clean and well maintained. Excellent value and comfort for Tokyo.

Cons:

One minor thing is that very dark colours have been used for the interior and it looks a bit dated.

很棒的住宿体验,以后会再来。
Pros:

位置很棒就在雷门对面,距离各个地铁站都很近。天台夜景绝佳,晚上俯视浅草寺是一种享受。但最值得称道的是他们家的马桶大小很好,不再是日本常见的逼仄的小马桶,坐起来非常舒服。废除了浴缸的空间把空间给马桶的设计也很符合时代进步,整体价格也很好,很惊喜的一架酒店。

Cons:

希望能提供摆行李的架子。睡衣不够宽松,是套头衫偏紧。
