TOKYO-W-INN Asakusa - Hostel

An ok, inexpensive place to stay in Asakusa, with only very basic services provided (usually at a fee). The rooms could have been cleaner - I stayed in the same room for 10 days and didn't see the floor being cleaned once. The bed cubicles also appeared quite dusty. On the plus side - the beds are good size and give you lots of privacy. There's a lovely terrace on the top floor and the common room, although not large, was very comfortable to use. Really short walk to the subway station and lots of shops and restaurants around. Good wi-fi. Clean bathrooms and toilets, except for lots some hair lingering on the side of the wash basins and showers (this however was due to other guests not taking much care to clean after themselves as all the facilities are cleaned twice a day).

Staf helpful, nice view in the common area, near the sensoji temple

Booked for two nights and ended up staying for 5. The staff were very accommodating and it was no problem extending and staying in the same bed. Was staying around the same area in another hostel but was not happy so moved here. Not many reviews as they are a new hotel so took a risk and decide to give it a go. Great decision! Perfect quiet local location but a 10 min walk to attractions in Asakusa. Very safe area (like majority of Japan), close to subway station and lots of restaurant choices. Great view from the 6th floor and common area, although small... very cosy. Very clean and lots of showers. The only negative thing I would write would be that the fouton beds (with just one) are very hard on the body while sleeping) but I ended up getting two and it was just right. Also, the door locking system is quite annoying as it beeps everytime it opens so bring earplugs or get a bed away from the door. All in all would stay again if I came to tokyo again!

Value of money .. close to station and Narita Airport link ..
