Good value, great location and helpful staff
Pros:

This was our first night in Japan, and the view of Senso ji from the room as well as the top floor were fantastic. Staff was particularly helpful - while checking in & checking out as well as taking care of shipping our bags to the next destination.

Staff in the dining area were very helpful with suggestions for vegetarian options as well as preparing food quickly.

Pros:

Geweldig hotel. Vriendelijk personeel. Uitgebreid goed ontbijt, nette en dagelijks goed verzorgde kamer. Grote bonus zijn de locatie in het hart van Asakusa en om de hoek van de Sensoji tempel. Daarnaast niet te vergeten het uitzicht vanaf het dakterras en het restaurant. Elke avond kunnen genieten van de lichtshow van Tokyo Skytree.

We enjoyed our stay, location was excellent and access to public transport easy.
Pros:

The hotel is well situated and close to transport. The room was clean, staff were friendly, fresh orange juice at breakfast was delicious and the breakfast itself was great. We were travelling with friends and requested rooms close together and away from lifts, both requests were complied with which was appreciated. The rooftop bar had a fab view of Skytree and the Asahi 'golden statue' and it was a relaxing place to finish after a long day of sightseeing.

Cons:

Our room was a little 'worn' and could do with a refresh, there wasn't much space for clothing and belongings. We were on the 7th floor and the view was of adjacent buildings but at least it wasn't a brick wall....request a higher floor and it might be better.
