Aesthetically beautiful, elegant, peaceful stay, right over the Kaminarimon Gate.
Pros:

It was aesthetically beautiful. Simple, elegant, peaceful. The location was right over the Kaminarimon Gate and next to the shops and restaurants. I had a view of the SkyTree building from my window.

Cons:

I'm not sure, but I don't think they had any exercise room. I was there just for 2 nights, so I never checked.

Definitely recommend, right in front of Kaminarimon gate
Pros:

The location, the staff, the room everything was amazing! You see the Sensoji grounds or I should say you are living inside them! You get the access of the temple at night and early mornings that was a plus to enjoy the peaceful empty ground which is super uncommon! The staff members were really polite and helpful! We booked the top floor Ryokan and cannot describe in words how detailed and ambient it was!

Great location
Pros:

I love that the ryokan sits right in front of Kaminarimon gate. There are plenty of souvenir shops, drug stores, traditional Japanese products and food places around it including Starbucks just below the ryokan. The Asakusa subway station is just 2 minutes walk. The place is clean, the staff friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Nothing
