I was a little worried after reading some reviews of this hotel, but I am very impressed. Very convenient to the JR line, and I wouldn't say the train noise is too bad.

The Ryogoku Pearl Hotel is located across the street from the JR Train Line "Ryogoku" station... it has no English language exterior signage, but look for a row of bright red, round paper lanterns adjacent to the main door (and ask a stranger if you're really stuck... that's what I did!) This hotel is an excellent value for those trying... More
