85%Hotel Sunroute Asakusa

Business hotel.. Good value for money especially in Tokyo.. Perfect for getting over jetlag since it's close to Ueno (easy to get to from Narita), and very quiet. Not so great for meeting people.

This hotel was excellent. It was well located around the corner from the Asakusa shrine, and just a few blocks away from the train station that could take you anywhere in Tokyo. It was close to a really cool Samuri Cafe, where the english-speaking bar tenders welcomed us with open arms....

Very nice place for the price. One of the maps I saw online misled me about the location of this hotel, erroneously placing it nearer to Tokyo Station (in the middle of the Imperial Gardens!). Nevertheless, I was very happy to find it and sleep off my jet lag.

This place is a great deal -- clean, spacious, affordable, an easy train ride to major attractions. It is better than some of the fancy hotels near Tokyo station and half the price.

Good location near subways. Very clean. Staff helped me understand the payphone system in English. No English or French channels on basic cable on the TV. I unplugged the mini-fridge for quiet during sleep time.

Clean cheap hotel with reasonable sized rooms very near the subway and Ueno station. Less than 90 mins from Narita Airport. Staff speak good english and are helpful. A good base to explore Tokyo and surrounding area.

The cleaning crew was never intrusive and always friendly. The location is excellent! It is right across the street from the metro stop. You can see the hotel as soon as you get out of it. It is less than a quarter mile to the local touristy spots. There are tons of food choices and convenience stores around. It's all-around a great choice for a good price.close

A decent "business hotel" but perfectly good for the tourist as well. Front desk staff spoke resonable English. Very close to a metro station and plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Although the hotel was not in the centre of the Tokyo action, Asakusa is a great area for eating and shopping. In fact, Asakusa was one of our favourite areas of Tokyo! The hotel was really close to a train station which made getting around really easy. The room was small, but the bathroom was...

Rooms are big enough, considering Japanese tight rooms.close

The location was great - just a 50m walk from the subway station. The only problem was that the bar fridge in our room was a little noisey at night, but we didn't notice it after a couple of nights.

We recommend that arriving guests with baggage travel from Narita to Ueno and take a cab from there for the short ride from there to the hotel. The closest Metro station, Tawaramachi, has no escalator or lift. We followed the hotel's advice and took our bags to Tawaramachi & hauled heavy bags up many stairs. When we left however, a taxi to Ueno [connecting to mainline to Narita] was cheap and quick. A very good hotel, friendly & helpful staff, with English spoken, a good location and no negatives to report.close

It was amazing - there are two original Joan Miro paintings in the lobby! The free Internet access was great, too. It's a bit pricey, but an excellent place to stay if you're looking for something classy and comfy in Tokyo.

Can't give character too high of a rating as it's a typical hotel. Very nice interior though. Access to a Jonathon's on the second floor. Well placed between two subway lines. Some of the staff were very outgoing, others were rather distant. Overall a rather pleasant experience.

I was afraid Asakusa would be really quiet and desolate. In retrospect, this location in Asakusa was perfect for my boyfriend and I (we are in our late 20s). It was 1 minute from the subway and within walking distance to Sensoji Temple and surrounding shopping (5 minutes or less). Shinjuku ended up being too busy and crazy for us Japan newbies, so Asakusa was perfect. While Asakusa is not desolate by any means (it still had larger buildings/neon lights/shopping), it wasn't overwelming like Shinjuku might have been. And it is true what they say about great, inexpensive souvenir shopping.close
