If you like to sit in your hotel and enjoy the ambiance, this is not the hotel for you. But if you are on a budget and plan to be out seeing Tokyo most of the time, then it is ok. The room is very, very small, the beds are hard and close to the ground, and the walls were kind of dirty. But, the a/c worked well, it has a private bath (again, small) where everything worked, and they left fresh kimono and slippers for you. Best of all, it is very close to metro station Asakusabashi. We took the train from the airport and easily dragged our bags to the hotel. Staff was friendly and spoke enough English to get by, and they offered us umbrellas to take out when it was raining.
