Durch und durch äusserst zufrieden! Ein wirklich tolles Hotel!
Pros:

Alles aller erstes möchte ich die Lage beurteilen. Das Hotel war super gelegen. Es stand direkt vor dem Donnertor. Zusätzlich waren mehrere U-Bahn-Stationen nahe zu Fuss erreichbar. Wir hatten auch sehr viele gute Restaurants in der Nähe.
Nun zum Personal. Es war überaus höflich, begrüsste uns immer sehr zuvorkommend und hat immer sofort geholfen wenn wir irgendwelche Fragen hatten.
Das Zimmer war extrem gross und wir hatten eine wirklich tolle Aussicht auf den Tokyo Skytree. Auch war es super ausgestattet und sehr sauber.

Cons:

Einen kleinen Punkt Abzug gibt es für die Lüftung. Es ist Motzen auf einem sehr hohen Niveau aber sie war uns ein wenig zu laut und wir haben nicht herausgefunden, wie wir sie ausschalten konnten.

Very nice hotel
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and professional. The room was absolutely beautiful; clean and well designed and the location was very central as well. Also, despite being in a busy area, the room seemed to be soundproof and noise from outside was not an issue.

Cons:

The hotel was right next to Senso-ji Temple, which I enjoyed because it gave us a chance to see the temple grounds lit up at night but it is also very busy during the day so keep that in mind if large crowds aren't your thing.

Nothing, everything was amazing.

Pros:

Absolutely delightful stay in the heart of Asakusa! It's next to the busy tourist street but you don't hear it in the building. It was our first time in Ryokan and we were pleasantly surprised with how comfy the tatami mats are. The stuff are very helpful and friendly, we enjoyed our stay, great view and the comfort of the rooms.
We would like to come back!

Unbelievable location and great staff!
Pros:

Location location location!!! A beautiful peaceful property right at Sensoji gate. Tokyo was crazy busy with cherry blossom season and the last weekend of school holidays but we couldn’t hear anything. The staff were extremely helpful and allowed us to store our luggage before check in and after checkout. Will definitely stay again!

Hôtel bien placé mais je n’étais pas enthousiaste dans mon expérience après 2 mois 1/2 de voyage au Japon.
Pros:

L’emplacement est génial juste en face de l’entrée Kaminarimon
La chambre est spacieuse, ce qui est appréciable à Tokyo.

Cons:

La « fenêtre » de ma chambre single est petite et mal située, sans aucune vue. L’éclairage naturel dans la journée est très pauvre.
J’ai voulu goûter le petit déjeuner car j’ai lu des bons commentaires. Je ne sais pas si je suis mal tombée. Mais ce jour là, c’était un petit déjeuner japonais banal avec des portions rikiki pas terribles. Pour 4180¥ quand même. Et il faut réserver à l’avance quand même.

A near perfect getaway within the capitol city
Pros:

The service was impeccable from all staff. Also the room was beyond expectations -- the cleanliness, design, finishes, and overall attention to the details made for a virtually perfect stay.

Cons:

The slippers were a bit small for my feet.
