Asakusa Kokonokurabu

An absolutely great spot to explore the city. It’s a few blocks off a Main Street and close to the train and bus lines. It’s close to several amazing temples and shrines, with numerous hidden gems all around. The staff speaks English far better than my Japanese, and anything beyond that was covered with translation apps or simply pointing. Clean, kind and cornered near some of the best things Tokyo has to offer.

One of the more spacious hotel rooms I have stayed at in Japan. Very clean, comfortable bed, and loved that we have a balcony. Steps from all of the action, from stalls to shopping.

Excellent neighborhood. Easy walk to Senso-ji and all of Asakusa’s vibrant streets. Hotel is on a quieter street. We took a large room with a balcony and really enjoyed having an outdoor space to sit. Staff are attentive and helpful, with few language challenges. Lovely smaller hotel with a boutique vibe.

This was the worst bed for our backs. I ended up taking the topper and placed it on the floor just to try to get some sleep. Maybe some people like beds with zero support but definitely not for me. Also the bathroom door opened out and had a big step which I slammed my toe into and the tub was so small. We walked so much we wanted to soak at the end of the day like we did in all the other hotels and there was no room to even stretch your legs. The bathroom so small compared to every other hotel. The remote has a Netflix button but not Netflix and the windows did NOT keep the light out, so we’d struggle to fall asleep on the mattress and then first light we were up because the light came right in.
