Wir kommen trotzdem wieder :)
Pros:

Super freundliches Personal.
Sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war leider sehr, sehr klein.
Keine Haken für Jacken oder Ähnliches vorhanden.
Für große Menschen ist die untere Etage etwas ungemütlich.

Good hotel for a few nights in Tokyo.
Pros:

Cute little hotel close to Ueno and Asakusa areas. Could easily walk to Ueno Park and temple area is Asakusa.

Cons:

Very tiny room, mattresses were very firm. No bench space in the kitchenette.

dots. tokyo is my favorite Tokyo hotel!
Pros:

This was my second time staying at dots. tokyo, and it was just as wonderful as my first time two years ago. The rooms are very home-like and provide a good amount of space with the split floor design. Check-in was easy, and the staff are always extremely helpful. There's a convenience store nearby, and you're walking distance to all of the charming things in Asakusa. I also love how quiet it is at this location because it's in the middle of a more residential area. This place is always a must stay for me when in Tokyo.

Lovely hotel with great design, in a calm area of Tokyo
Pros:

Very cool hotel, loved the style and use of space, staff were all lovely and helpful and very responsive on messaging. Bed was super comfy, great shower and very useful to have a washing machine in the room and nice to have a kitchenette. Also appreciated the pyjamas! Space is tight, but that's expected with it being Tokyo! There was enough room to store our suitcases under the bed, and to open them fully at the foot of the bed.

We really liked the location, was in a nice quiet residential area. Ten/twelve mins walk from Senso-Ji and Asakusa, and about the same to the closest metro stop. We really appreciated being able to return to a quieter area after a busy day in Tokyo, and was nice being so close to Ueno Park for some calm walks.

Cons:

Honestly it was all great! I guess other people might want to be ever so slightly closer to travel links, but we loved the location, and there are lots of connections from Ueno station.

Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful. The living room area of the room was cute and added a good bit of space. The bathroom was large and the shower was powerful and hot.

Cons:

Where the beds were was a bit cold and draughty. There was a heater but it was a bit difficult to regulate the temperature of the room. I didn't love sleeping next to the boiler. The steps up and down were a bit steep and dangerous, especially getting bags down and up them.

Pros:

Cool concept for a room. Big fridge. AC worked great. The portable heater was the best.

Cons:

Bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Closest train station was a 15 minute walk.

Absolutely amazing how kitted out this clean and perfect stay for my 3-person family 4-nights. LOVE
Pros:

I stayed at dots with my husband and 11-year-old son for 4 nights in the smaller room that's offered. We travelled with another couple with an 11 year-old daughter who also stayed in the basic small room. It was so perfect! We absolutely loved our stay. The shower was great, it was clean, the space was big enough for the 3 of us and the bedding was really good. It was efficient and you need to bend down in the bottom bed area, but that was not a problem. Super! Kitchen, a washing machine, a TV with netflix and everything was perfect and clean and wonderful.

Cons:

I would have loved to be able to BUY the pjs that they provided for us to use :) and one day I stayed home to work, and it would have been better if there was somehow a desk. My husband said "mention that it's a "long" walk to the nearest station" it was about a 15 min walk. But the neighbourhood is really good, and there are plenty of pleases to eat and drink right there.

A wonderful taste of Tokyo living in our very own loft-style apartment!
Pros:

Cozy, unique, modern, loft-style room with kitchenette. Great location on a quiet side street in Tokyo, walking distance to shops, restaurants, and metro stations. Very friendly and helpful staff!

Bestimmt gibt es auch bessere Räume im Hotel
Pros:

Beheizte Toilette 🚽. Es war sauber und ruhig.

Cons:

Die Fotos vom Hotelzimmer waren sehr schön aber vor Ort hatten wir keine Betten sondern nur Matratzen. Man konnte sich nur gebückt im Schlafbereich aufhalten. Im oberen Bereich war es etwas besser aber das man jedesmal enge Treppen benutzen musste, stand nicht in der Zimmerbeschreibung. Schon eine Herausforderung für einen 70zig jährigen.

Ottimo hotel tra Ueno e Asakusa
Pros:

Posizione ottima a metà tra Ueno e Asakusa, 15 minuti a piedi dall'una e dall'altra. Vista dalla finestra? Lo Skythree, quindi fantastica. Zona tranquilla ma ben servita dai mezzi di trasporto, stazioni della metro vicine tutte le zone di Tokyo. C'è anche un ottimo panificio nelle vicinanze per prendersi la colazione, in alternativa ai combini. Camera non troppo spaziosa ma ben organizzata, con tutto ciò che può servire, compresa la lavatrice. Viene dato il detersivo per un lavaggio compreso con il soggiorno, per averne altri bastano solo 100 yen al pezzo. Trovare comunque una stanza per cinque persone in Giappone non è così scontato quindi direi ottimo. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile. Tutto pulito e in ordine.

Chose it because it was very reasonably priced and one of the only places that had rooms that fit 5 people. The staff we
Pros:

Great staff who were very friendly. Great price and lots of value for money. There were good facilities and lots of towels and sheets.

Cons:

The shower didn’t get super hot, which may be user error. And there wasn’t heaps of storage space which again is mostly our fault as we had 5 people each with large suitcases. Other than that it was great.
