It was my first stay in Tokyo & it’s good. The room is relatively small for 2 pax but I would say this is probably normal for Tokyo. Room is clean, the neighbourhood is nice & quiet (as it’s a residential area). Also felt safer on this side of Asakusa…There are 2 supermarket & a few convenient stores down the street. Also quite a few eateries/izakaya - if you’re coming in late. Closest subway station (iriya) by foot is approximately 10mins, and bus to Ueno is approximately 20-30min (best is by cab if you have luggage, will take about 10mins max).
Just a few things to note if you’re considering to stay here:
1. Self check in after 7pm (the front desk will send you an email/Airbnb text for instructions. It’s clear & pretty straight forward.)
2. You need to collect your own (extra) amenities at the front desk after 7pm. Bins need to be placed outside your room.
3. Luggage forwarding service can’t be done here :(
Overall, I don’t mind staying here again for a short while in Tokyo!
