The pictures are clearly very old and do not reflect what you’re getting. The place had horrible fluorescent lighting, shabby furniture, and holes in the paper wall dividers. We were genuinely shocked when we arrived there. As many other reviewers mentioned, the walls are thin, and you can hear loud construction (and your neighbors) early in the mornings. Basically, the location is great and close to a bunch of shopping — and that’s about it. Only redeeming quality was that we weren’t there all that much during our stay in Asakusa.
