Find hotels near Asakusa in Tokyo, Japan

The most perfect location. hotel is conveniently located directly on street level from Asakusa station, literally a 3min walk and is across the street from the Sky Street Mall and the Toyko Sky Tree tower is about a 20min walk from the hotel. Close to main cities like Ginza, Shibuya, Akihabara and so many more by train. Staff could speak a little english and tried their very best to accommodate our needs. The view from our room was not the best but the service and facilities that was provided made up for it. I would highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

the bluewave inn asakusa exceeded our expectations in every way. the staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are very clean and well-maintained, making it a great place to return to after a long day out. for us hair aficionados, we have your own stock of shiseido shampoo and conditioner. its proximity to train stations served by tokyo metro (ginza line) and toei (asakusa line) subway lines, it is a convenient location to base yourself for sightseeing. the area of asakusa is definitely worth visiting, the best part of staying here though, must be its proximity to the beautiful sensoji temple. though not necessary, we always walked to and from the station through the temple grounds to return to the hotel. i would certainly return to stay here, if only for this very privilege.

We incredibly loved our stay in Richmond Premier Asakusa! 5-10 minutes walk to anywhere in Asakusa area (10 minutes walk from the main Asakusa station/Kaminarimon Gate). Located on top of a small shopping mall with Don Quijote, Yoshinoya, Matsuya, Sukiya, Katsuya and a bunch of eatery & small cute shops in the heart of Asakusa it's really hard to beat the convenience and location of this hotel! If you're planning to explore in depth Asakusa and its surrounding area there's no place in Asakusa that can offer a better value than this one. The staff speaks perfect English, the rooms clean (albeit a bit small, but it's already bigger than any other average Japan hotel rooms), with complete amenities. They even offer a walking guide map of Asakusa and discount coupon for Don Quijote! Never been so hyped up for a hotel review, but I'm recommending this to all Agoda users who will visit Asakusa, don't hesitate you're not making awrong choice, you can click that book button now.

The room of this hotel for the Quadruple room is bigger than the normal Japanese hotel's room.4 people and 4 24"luggages, the room still has free space to be a little living room. The only thing that I'm quite wondering why 4-star hotel-like Asakusa View hotel hasn't got any fitness room for their guest?? The hotel has a fitness center for their MEMBER only but not allow for their hotel's guests. How weird it is!! In my opinion, the location is not as good as I expected. The nearest train is the Tsukuba line, which is the local line from MORIYA to AKIHABARA. That means if you want to travel in Tokyo by JR line. You always take Tsukuba line from Asakusa to Akihabara and then you can take whatever train both JR and Local line to go on. It wastes your time so much to do that or you must walk around 1 KM. through Senso-ji Temple to take Ginza line or Asakusa line. So if your concern about your transportation maybe this hotel is not suitable for your style.

Stayed here for 6 nights. Good location right next to the elevator exit of Tawaramachi station, great to walk around the traditional neighborhood of Asakusa. Check-in process is a little bit weird with you having to enter your information on a touch screen. TINY room that barely allows you to put and keep your luggage on the floor all the time, with just a couple of hangers on the wall and no wardrobe. Being so tiny and with a window that does not open, the air can get a bit stuffy. Bed is comfortable, and staff cleaned the room everyday providing new toiletries and clean yukatas, that you can wear to sleep or to go to the public baths on the 14th floor (the best part of the hotel!). They are separated by gender, with a few individual seating showers to clean yourself before soaking in the big common baths (a big one indoor, a smaller one outdoor, and two individual outdoor baths), where you can socialize with other naked people. They include free breakfast in the Komeda Café downstairs, with 3 set options to choose from (best one is the toast with red beans). It's very nice and filling, but can get a little repetitive if you are staying many days. After our 6 nights stay in this hotel, we went to stay in another area of Tokyo for 3 nights, and on the last day we had to pass nearby this hotel to take the train out of Tokyo. It was early, we had some things to do around there, and we had a lot of luggage that didn't fit in the public coin lockers in Tawaramachi station, so we asked if we could leave them in the hotel for a couple of hours. They refused because we were not "currently" staying there, which I can kind of understand (even though we had just stayed there 6 nights!), but it would have been a nice gesture and avoid us the hassle to go to Ueno station to find bigger coin lockers.

To start off, the staff at Club Hokke Asakusa are among the most professional and attentive hotel staff I have ever seen. They greet you at every occasion, and provide wonderful services. The hotel itself is well furnished, clean, and hosts great attention to every detail. At entry the entire lobby has a nice relaxing fragrance that I found to be a signature of the stay. If you stay for more than one night, even if you choose not to have the room cleaned, you will find a new set of towels, toiletries, and pajamas left at the room door. The single room is tight and does not give space to open larger luggages except on the bed. The table is very narrow either and not great for working. Recommended for light travellers. The location is relatively convenient and only a 3 min walk from Kuramae station. However, it is about 7 mins to the two Asakusa stations (Ginza line and Toei Asakusa line). These two stations are rather perplexing to navigate. The hotel is close to the Sumida river buy set back from the Sensoji area and all the restaurants and shops. This will be a plus for people who prefers a quieter environment, but not the best for those who want to be at the middle of happening.

Tips - There's direct train from/to Narita Airport (Narita Sky Access train) to/from Asakusa Station Toei Line which is just around 5-7 minutes walk to the hotel - if you can't catch the direct train, fret not as it will require only 1 transfer on the same platform at the right station so you won't have to worry if you bring big heavy luggages. Just ask the staffs at the station and they will tell you the train you should take, whether to transfer and the time of arrival of the train - The Toei Asakusa Line has elevator exit. just follow A2b exit signage. Its really easy - The hotel is also nearby the other 3 stations which are ginza line (elevator also available), tobu sky tree line and tsukuba express line. Tawaramachi Station of Ginza Line is also around 5-10 minutes walk - Keep in mind though that Toei Asakusa Line train to the airport is pretty packed at peak hours so you might have to stand for some time - If you are in for a ride on the bus, bus stops are just in front of the hotel. - You can choose not to bring your sleeping wear as they provide pajamas (although a bit short on me) and they provide new ones every day - If you make your own breakfast like I was, I think it's better to bring your own mugs as they only provide small glass. Don't forget cutleries too Tips - There's direct train from/to Narita Airport (Narita Sky Access train) to/from Asakusa Station Toei Line which is just around 5-7 minutes walk to the hotel - if you can't catch the direct train, fret not as it will require only 1 transfer on the same platform at the right station so you won't have to worry if you bring big heavy luggages.

Stayed here with my sister and we really liked the hotel. It's very convenient since it is near to Senso-ji Temple and Asakusa Station (Ginza Line of the Metro). The nearby area towards Senso-ji Temple has a lot of shops and restaurants you can go around. You will have a hard time going around trying everything! I would definitely stay here again since it's so convenient and the room is quite comfy albeit small even for two people. There aren't a lot of compartments where you can keep your things outside of your suitcase. That's the only downfall. However, we spent most of our day outside to sightsee around Tokyo. Staff is great and refills toiletries everyday. Even if you put the Do Not Disturb sign, they leave a laundry bag full of fresh towels and toiletries for you.

My stay at Agora Place Asakusa was great! It is near exit 1 of Tawaramachi on the Ginza line. You can easily access the Ueno area, Sky tree, and Asakusa shrine from Agora Place Asakusa. As for the hotel, it was very nice and designed well. However, I did not like having to pay extra for the basic amenities. Such as shampoo, conditioner, tooth brush, and toothpastes. Though they were about 50 yen to 100 yen each, I would prefer it if they had included those in your room. The single room was small, nice, and comfortable. I liked how the bathroom included a glass encased shower! That is unique and a nice touch to the overall design of the hotel. Other than that, the staff were friendly, efficient, and communicated well. I would recommend a short stay here, but not for long term.

This is a nice clean business hotel in Asakusa. Hotel room is typical for this type. Small but clean and neat. It is conveniently located close to the subway station and about 2 blocks from the Kannon temple. There are many places to eat and a small park across the street. Great if you are a tourist in Tokyo. The Skytree tower is about 30 minutes walk away. Just cross over the nearby bridge and walk towards the tower, it's easy to keep in sight. The hotel has the standard amenities, free LAN internet, shaver, toothbrush, hair brush etc. A nice extra is the public spa bath, both indoor and outdoor where you can get a nice view of the city. At night you can treat yourself to a free snack of hot noodles in the hotel restaurant. Hotel staff are friendly and can speak limited English. You can get maps of the area from the front desk. We enjoyed our stay here.

Can't say enough good about this hotel, its location, and staff. We were very pleased with the comfort and cleanliness of our room, which came with tons of nice amenities and a refrigerator, but best of all, was the fantastic view! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and we throughly enjoyed the breakfast, which was one of the best we've experienced in all of our travels. Staying in Asakusa turned out to be a great choice for us and we found getting around Tokyo by subway worked very easily from here, using either Asakusa Station or Tawaramachi Station, via the Ginza line. We stayed five nights and enjoyed every minute!

We book this hotel mainly because of the famous architect. The price is actually a little bit over budget, considering the nights we stayed. But it really offers more than the architecture itself. The size of the bed is slightly better than the avg Tokyo standard, comfortable for 2 ppl. And the front desk can speak English. Only one cute mid age gentlemen has some difficulty in communicating with us, but he can understand at least and did try his best to help us. We really appreciated it. The rooftop, another reason we book the hotel, opens only from5-7 pm, and closed during rainy days. So, basically, for travelers we don't have time to peak the view from the rooftop anyway. They upgraded our room to the street side, so supposedly, we can see the skytree, but, due to the angle problem ... we have to adjust our neck very much to see the great view. But we still appreciate. The neighborhood is anyway nice to have a view. The hotel offers free breakfast, simple but with sufficient and in time supply. Western breakfast style, with bread bacon eggs... and fresh fruits. The breakfast itself offers a lot of energy for us to explore the city. And the coffee there is also good. In terms of the location, I have to say, if one of the travel propose for you is shopping, then probably you should go to shinjuku or somewhere in the west part of the city. The hotel locates at Oshiage, northeast part of central Tokyo. At least 30 min necessary for you to travel to any other spot, except Asakusa and Ueno. But, the neighborhood around the hotel is quite local and neat, which offers you a view of their local life. Several restaurants near the hotel is nice, one bento station name origins and one BBQ worth trying after your whole day city trip.

Nothing much to be complaining for sucha spacious room, it fitted a closet, a dressing table, a queensize, a bath.. everything you can ask for a good stay.. Room is accompanied with LAN cable to go online, if you need wireless/WI-FI, get your ass to the lobby, ask the staff for the password and sit at the couch for as long as you surf.. Housekeeping ends at 1pm, so better to get out before that or you can jolly well skip that.. The hotel staff really call to enquire if you need housekeeping or not, they won't hang up until you answer.. lolll, i treated them as my 'morning' call before I head out.. There's a lawson/convenient store across the junction.. Restaurants close before 8.30pm so better settle dinner before that, or else lawson can be your next bestfriend.. Also, if you can get a map of asakusa district, you can find your way to the temple and a shopping street just around the corner, say maybe 10 minutes walk.. It's a touristy area, and gets populated every weekends, extremely!! How do you get to the hotel, if you travel to Haneda airport, take the keikyu express line direct to asakusa, about 40~60minutes. You must alight at Asakusa station of the Asakusa/Toei line, exit A5 facing the street turn left and keep walking straight.. You will pass the next big 4 road junction, that's exactly the tourist/temple attraction area, you will also meet a big shopping mall Matsuya and another train station by tokyo metro, TOBU line.. Cross over and head straight on the right of Matsuya, you will see Macdonalds on the opposite side of the road.. Walk stright until you meet another big 5 road junction, you can see Tokyo next big attraction SKY TREE. Cross the road again, keep walking straight you will see the hotel, it's about a 20~30mins walk.. It's horrendous to by dragging all your luggage to the hotel, so as much as I know, good luck!!

This hotel has a very good location. Very near to asakusa station if you took tsukuba express (just 2 stops from akihabara) and a few hundred meters to tokyo metro station. Very near to beautiful Senso-ji temple. And street shops near the temple. If you are searching for halal food, there is one halal restaurant, Naritaya Ramen near the Sensoji temple. The ramen and karagae (fried chicken) are the must try food! Very delicious! You should come early because it is full during lunch hour and you have to wait several minutes to get a seat. There is one halal sushi restaurant near the hotel too. And halal chicken kebab in front of the hotel (but the beef is not halal). The room is super clean and beautiful! I love the blind because it has picture of japan culture. Same goes to their toilet door, it has a skytree picture on it. The shampoo, conditioner and shower cream are all green tea base. Super love the smell! And the green tea provided in the room is the best! One thing this hotel lack is the microwave. It does not have a microwave, and the 7-11 near this hotel also does not have a microwave. I love to buy the fish that you can eat after heat from 7-11 and I couldn't do so during my stay here. But overall I will definitely stay again in this hotel.

We stayed at Hotel Wing International Select Asakusa Komagata for 2 nights. The hotel situates in a very prime location & close to subway. We were informed about free small breakfast each morning (bread + drink), which was nice but we didn't come down to take them since we don't usually have breakfast. The staffs were very nice and polite and also told us to checkout their rooftop if we have time. We booked for a Japanese twin room type since it was the cheapest and was happy with the room. The beds were comfy and the room was clean and new. There were also luggages space beneath the bed. The coffee machine was easy to use and a plus. The wifi was superb as each room get specific login+password so no bandwidth stealing during peak time! The tv was a smart tv so you can connect & stream from your mobile device. The most awesome thing was the rooftop of the hotel where you can see the Asakusa area with Tokyo skytree etc! Overall, this was the best hotel we stayed at during our trip.

room is consired big for Japan standard. 10 minute walk to tawaramachi station ginza line. Hotel is very lenient. Can rent bike at asakusa tsukaba line station about 7 minute from hotel. Asakusa don quijote about 5 minute walk. Overall very nice experiance will book this hotel again if im going to tokyo again. Only special room have microwave other room have to share near counter. wifi is good at 4th and 5th floor room. Thank you.Shinobara Inn Asakusa hotel looking foward until our next stay.

By far the best hotel we have ever stayed in Tokyo. Value For Money/Facilities - Executive Double Room: 1) Spacious by Japan's standard; 2) Has a kitchenette complete with the basic electric stove, kitchen counter, medium-sized refrigerator, rice-cooker, table ware and cleaning ware; 3) Has a washing machine which is easy to use; 4) Has decent-sized walk-in closet enough to fit 4 luggages; 5) Has standard Japanese toilet with bidet, shower but no bathtub (which is not a big deal); 6) Has very comfortable bed; and 7) Hotel lents you a smartphone with unlimited internet which is very convenient etc. Location: The hotel is very near to the Asakusa (Tsukuba) Station (3-min walk), Don Quijote (popular discount shop, 1-min walk), Asakusa Sushiken (sushi restaurant which is halal certified, 3-min walk) and Asakusa Nakamise Street (popular tourist shopping area, 3-min walk). If you arrive in Tokyo via the Tokyo Station and carrying luggages, the travel via train from Tokyo Station to Tsukuba is hassle-free as all the train stations stops (Tokyo Station, Akihabara and Asakusa Stations) have elevators/escalators so you don't have to worry about carrying your luggages using the stairs. Cleanliness: Tip-top! Staff: The staff in-charge at the lobby can speak English so there was no communication issue. Will definitely stay here again!

I stayed 5 days at 3F. A small room with two bunk beds on the left and right inside the room. I stayed with my wife and my teenage daughter. I allocated one bed to place our 3 big travel bags. The shared bathroom is very clean. The men and women restrooms are separated. I came at 11 am, so I had to put my luggage and returned later to check in. The kitchen is on the first floor. Everything is prepared, coffee, creamer, hot water, cold water, spoons, sugar. Don't forget to clean up everytjing after using it. Washing machines are available, you need to spend 300 yen to use it. I didn't use it because I brought enough shirts and pants. The hotel is pretty far from the nearest Minami-senju station, it's about 10 minutes walking. It's not a big deal. You can use Metro since it's the nearest station. I used Hibiya line almost daily. Lawson and 7/11 are available around 4 minutes walking from the hotel. Overall, if you are a traveler who uses hotel only to take a rest, then this is the best choice near to Asakusa.

Location is fantastic, right near the Asakusa station. Closest exit is A2b but if you have luggage, look for the elevator near A2a. The hotel is pretty standard for the area. It's pretty cozy, meaning small, but it did have a storage area beneath the bed which was nice. I could keep my suitcase open. The bed was superb, great support and very comfortable night's sleep was had. The bathroom is really small and has almost no counter space. In addition, the ceiling is really low. I'm only 5'9" but I estimate that if you are over 6' tall, you might rub up against the ceiling when you're standing in the tub/shower. The facilities are pretty minimal. This hotel does not have a laundry room. There is a breakfast cafe on the first floor but I did not eat there. I just picked up things at the nearby convenience stores. There are vending machines on the top floor. Overall, it's a good place to stay while exploring Asakusa but if you are tall, you might want to look elsewhere.

I have never written a review of any place I've stayed before, but I've made an exception just for this one place: The owner and staff were just too nice to not do it! I ended up staying almost 3 months in this hostel. I've stayed at many places, even in Tokyo - this was by far the Best. Advantages: Great value for money, newly built, renovated and clean! Good facilities with common kitchen so you can cook your own food if you're conscious about not spending too much eating out at restaurants all the time. Best of all I think is the common space at Enaka if you want to hang out and connect with other guests. The location in Asakusa is nice and serene in a more "traditional" area of Tokyo. Access to other popular areas such as Akihabara, Shibuya and Roppongi via metro. But the brightest 5 stars of this hostel goes to all the staff who are simply too friendly, helpful and cute in every way! I ended up staying three months in this hostel, as I am looking to relocate to Tokyo, and both the owner and staff have helped me beyond measures to assist me in both translating Japanese and finding apartments and so on! Some of them are good friends now! I can strongly recommend anyone to stay in this hostel when visiting Tokyo! I give it 5 stars! 10 out of 10! Excellent!

We had a great stay at Edo Sakura! We arrived after midnight and the host was still very gracious and helped us get settled into our room. All throughout our stay the staff were all very warm, sincerely helpful people and they all spoke good English as well as Japanese. We loved the traditional futons to sleep on and the public bath which could be reserved for a private session, was a thoughtful touch. The room was very clean with traditional tatami and a nice scroll of Mount Fuji and a modern bathroom and shower. The location was a little further from Shibuya/Shinjuku area, but we found many nice things nearby like Asakusa, Ginza, Nippori, Ueno and having the train just a few blocks away really helped and we managed to easily get everywhere we wanted to go. The train day passes (we got the 48 hour one) was very helpful and allowed us to get all around. Thank you, Edo Sakura for a wonderful stay. Your unique hotel and amazing hospitality was very much appreciated!

We booked a 3 night stay at Asakusa Hotel Hatago for a last minute trip to Tokyo during the busiest times of the year. Needless to say, most hotels in our budget were already full and were grateful to get any room that wasn't outrageouly expensive. Needless to say, this caused us to think that for the last minute booking and price we paid that it would just simply be a place to sleep at night. We surprisingly were wrong! First of all, the location is excellent and is only a few minute walk from the subway, which we used to get everywhere we wanted to go. The Asakusa area of Tokyo definitely has enough to see and do for at least a whole day's worth of activities; it was nice to be within walking distance of so much. Another thing that we appreciated about the hotel was the friendly staff. The receptionist helped us on three different occasions to print out the English version of the subway route of where we wanted to go, when things were open, recommendations, etc. A bonus of this hotel was the view; they have a roof top deck that you can take amazing pictures of the river and Tokyo tower. As mentioned by other reviewers, the rooms are very small. But, they were very adequate for our family of 3 and still a bargain for the price we paid.

I liked that it was tucked in a quieter area in the metro. Also it was only a 2-minute walk to Iriya station (Hibiya line) and so Akihabara, etc were an easy access. For JR pass users though, the nearest station is about a 15-minute walk , Uguisudani. We had a bit of a difficulty finding an elevator and so we had to carry the luggage and stroller down the flight of stairs. Nevertheless, the free Japanese sweets from 2-9 pm (rice cakes and flavored shaved ice) plus a wide variety of drinks really made our kids’ day! I also appreciated the free rice from 9-11 pm plus the face masks etc. Saboten was near and the neighborhood seemed peaceful and kid-friendly. The room is slightly bigger that the small Japanese hotel rooms I’ve been used to. Sean and his partner in the front desk spoke good English and he assisted us regarding Asakusa. Overall a great stay :)

Sakura Hostel Asakusa is located behind Sensouji and a few minutes away from the Ginza Line and Asakusa Line. It's very convenient if you're in a hurry to go sightseeing immediately after arriving. I did get lost though but afterwards, I found a shortcut so everything went smoothly. As for the staff, everyone knew English and other languages. If you're bored, you can talk to them too! The rooms were clean but the wifi was not so strong in my room since it was in the 4th floor. The lounge had a very strong signal. I could even play MMORPGs there. My only qualm about it is the hallway going out of the room to the next hallway. You can definitely feel the wind outside and since I went there in winter, it was chilly. If you want a cheap, clean, and friendly atmosphere, you should definitely check in here.

My 4 nights stay at this hotel was excellent! The sleeping area is large and I appreciate that you can store your luggage under your bed. The bed and pillows are comfortable. There is 1 power outlet and 1 usb outlet inside your capsule. There is also a mini table, mirror, tv (japanese channels only) and a mini locker for your valuables. There is also an alarm clock installed inside your capsule so you don’t have to worry if you have an early morning flight :) What I like the most would be the ameneties! Each day you get a fresh supply of 3 towels, 1 toothbrush, 1 body sponge and set of pajamas which is left in your capsule. More amenities inside the shower area and you can take as many as you like (cleansing oil, facial wash, toner, moisturizer, q-tips, earplugs, comb, hair tie, shampoo, conditioner, body wash). Hairdryer and flat iron is also available. There is a laundry area for 300 yen and the dryer for 100 yen. (Laundry is kind of expensive, considering its just a quick 30 mins cycle for 4.5kg clothes) You don’t have to check out everyday unlike most capsules hotel in Japan but you have to be out of the sleeping area when they clean it (10am -4pm) Its also very close to the Kuramae subway station Asakusa Line & Oedo Line. Very convenient to get to anywhere in tokyo! Just a tip, if you’re going to / coming from the airport via Asakusa Line, use the A0 exit because this has an elavator! The A0 exit is not the one beside MyCube, its across the street nearby MiniStop (3 min walk). More convinient if you have heavy luggage. Points for improvement: The sliding door for the luggage locker is quite noisy. It’s kind of annoying especially when you need to take out stuff from your locker at night. It has a weird crinkling metal noise. Hope they change the material to lessen the noise? Overall, highly recommended! Would definitely stay here again when I go back to Tokyo!

It is a very great and new hotel. I like the Slumberland mattress and very comfortable Japanese brand feather and down pillows and comforters. I stayed in this hotel 3 nights but I didn't want to wake up for every morning. I came back to my country and tried to purchase the same mattress but the seller said this model is exclusive for hotel only :-( Needless to say the location of this hotel is super good. There are 3 important things to do in Asakusa. Asakusa temple, Skytree, Cruise to Daiba. It just takes 5 mins walking distance from subway station to hotel. Temple and ferry terminal are also 100 and 200 meters from hotel. Please don't waste your time to take any Skytree pictures in the street since the 13/F hotel lobby floor is the best angle to view the tower! ( lobby window is super clean and transparent ...) I really suggest you to choose this hotel in your last few days of your Tokyo trip like me (b/c it is far away from western shopping and nightlife area likes Shibuya, Shinjuku... I would like to thanks Mr/Ms. Erika from the hotel. He/she replied my request point by point after I booked the rooms from Agoda before my trip. It never happen for so many previous hotel bookings from Agoda before. Many thanks for your good service! I will choose this hotel again if I stay in Asakusa.

Gracery Asakusa is just what you'd expect from a middle range priced hotel. It's new and clean, the interior is very nice, modern with Japanese hints. The staff is formal, friendly, speak English well. The room has everything a traveller would need, micro oven is on 2nd floor as well as coin laundry (400 yen, no detergent needed). The shower and bath room is separate with the toilet and sink, actually the former is too large, while the double room itself would be a bit small for two people with suitcases. The biggest advantage of the hotel is of course its strategic location, just a few minutes to Asakusa station with 2 subway lines, direct connection to both airports and areas south of Tokyo like Yokohama, as well as north, like Tochigi. The area around the station has a lot of shops and eateries. I only wish there were hair conditioner in the bathroom, it's important for those whose hair gets tangled and most hotels have it. Also, the tea pot was giving an unpleasant taste to water.
