My family had a wonderful ten-day stay at Oriental Lodge. Takeshi-san was a kind and gracious host and very responsive. And his place was a great "home away from home" for my family with all the amenities that we needed. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well stocked, and we loved that the place was in the middle of a normal part of Asakusa where we could experience "every day life" in Japan.
Added bonus: Oriental Lodge is very close to Sensoji Temple which has always been a favorite place of mine in Tokyo. The temple and the grounds are beautiful (go early in the morning or later at night for a calm, tranquil experience.) The road leading up to it (if you enter at the Kaminarimon) is full of great shops for gifts or street food. (Bring lots of cash as most don't take credit cards.) The streets adjacent to Sensoji are also good for shopping and full of some great restaurants. Be sure to get to Don Quijote as well - an "only in Japan" kind of shopping place that's full of just about everything you can imagine.
Don't miss Cafe Reise (right beside Oriental Lodge) as well. The coffee is amazing and they offer light food options that were perfect for breakfast. What's more, the owner and his wife are very kind and gracious and they made us feel very welcome.
Highly recommend staying at Oriental Lodge and we hope to stay there again one day!
