COB HOTEL Asakusa

Very was check-in, friendly staff, free amenities and drinks, easy luggage storage and all together very pleasant

I had nothing to complain about during my stay!

It is quiet and relatively close to the asakusa train station as well as relatively walking distance to sky tree.

Given that it is a small hotel and room, the walls are thin and you can hear alot from the other rooms.

La posizione, lo staff, la vista sullo Skytree

The staff (girl) at reception was very pleasant and friendly; the place was very clean; the projector in the room (in place of a regular TV) was...interesting; it was good to be able to access the top floor terrace area and appreciate the views; the location is really good - away from the hustle and bustle of Asakusa, but, not so far away; the window actually opened (in some Japanese hotels it is fastened - terrible), so I appreciated being able to access fresh air and...atmosphere from outside - and being able to see SKYTREE, although it did involve twisting your head quite a bit to the left; the toiletries on the bed were pretty...

There was no KETTLE in the room (it is really inconvenient not to be able to access hot water for beverages and food in your room); there was no BATH in the room - I had been looking forward to relaxing in a bath (maybe I should have read the hotel description more carefully before booking, but I just had expected there would be a bath...); it says there is a 'desk' in every room, but my desk was a board that I suppose was to be placed on your lap...?; the microwave placed in an area only accessible by steps and so close to reception is not ideal...In conclusion, this is a nice hotel - hostel - but I was a little misled by the 4 Star rating as well as the word Queen being used to describe the room - bed. I live in Tokyo, so I was expecting something more...luxurious as a "getaway" for a night!
