Asakusa YOSHII Hotel

We enjoyed our stay here! Although the hotel is farther away from the Tokyo Metro than we anticipated. It is near the Tsukaba Express line, about 5 minutes walk; but you will mostly use the Asakusa Line, Ginza Line etc all part of the Tokyo Metro, to get to most places. The Tokyo Metro is about 15 min walk from the hotel. But we appreciated that it was near the hustle and bustle of Asakusa. You'll be near the Sensoji Temple, a lot of restaurants and shops, most especially the 24/7 Don Quijote. There are also pharmacies nearby for any emergencies. We arrived at around 4pm, and there was a front desk staff present to help us check in. They speak good english and understand it well too, so you wouldn't have any trouble communicating with them. They aren't around in the morning, I believe they are only there from the afternoon til night time. We checked out really early, around 5AM and no one was there but upon check in they instructed us to just leave the keys in the box at the front desk. Also, they leave notes on the front desk that can be helpful for you. Like they leave the telephone out just in case you need to call a cab, or call whomever; and if you ever need any toiletries, towels etc refilled, you can easily grab what you need at the hotel lobby where they have everything ready for you. The hotel also has an elevator, which was so convenient given that we were carrying 4 baggages, and we were almost at the top floor. The hotel room is just enough for two people. The beds were two single beds pushed together. The bed and pillows were comfy to sleep in especially after a day of walking 20k+ steps in the city. There is space for your luggages under the beds so we didn't have any trouble with that. We had two 26" luggages and one 30" luggage and one duffle bag. The bathroom has toiletries ready, hand and body towels, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash etc. Also a hair dryer and extra toilet paper rolls. I'd say I have all that I need in the bathroom. The toilet has an automatic bidet and heated seat. Shower and toilet is separated by a door. Shower and bathtub has a heater. I wasn't sure if they offered laundry services for clothes, but there is a nearby self-service laundromat that we used before out trip ended. Overall I'd recommend this to someone who is on a budget, wants a comfortable stay, and most importantly is ok with walking long distances (but tbh if you're going to Japan you definitely have to be ok with walking A LOT).

The best budget hotel in Tokyo I could find. Location is great: Senso-ji temple is just around the corner, and Family Mart is two minutes away from the hotel. Close to Akihabara and Tokyo Sky Tree as well. For two person room, seven nights stay was less than $400! The room itself has two beds and just enough space for two big luggage bags. All the amenities you would expect to see in the 2 or 3 star hotel are present. The only thing I missed was the clothes dryer. Bathroom is clean and somewhat spacious. Didn't have much chance to speak to the staff, but I think I've heard Chinese speach a lot. Overall, quite enjoyable and affordable stay.
