The hotel was very nice, the room spacious and the staff quite helpful. They spoke enough English to accommodate us, but we were the only non-Japanese couple we saw. The room service was very pricey but there was a grocery store down the block. It also has a subway station RIGHT outside the front entrance. Overall, a great choice for... more

Nice, clean hotel; friendly staff; close to metro stations; rooms facing the front have views over the famous Sensoji Temple; 4 restaurants and 2 bars; lots of restaurants and shops across the street more

The Akasuka View Hotel is in a terrific neighborhood for wandering, shopping and eating. Although it requires two different train/subway lines to reach from Tokyo Station, the Yamonote or Keihin-Tohetsu, then the Tsukuba Express, once leaving the Tsukuba Express, you are only a half a block from the hotel. The rooms in the hotel are fairly spacious by Japanese standards,... more

We only stayed at the Asakusa View Hotel for one night, but it was in a great location, lots to do right across the street, close to metro stations, and very clean, nice hotel. I would stay here again! more

I really enjoyed our stay in Asakusa. It was a bit like staying in the suburbs rather than "Any City" Japan. The metro was a 10 min walk (2 stations in different locations) but the Tsukuba Express is 2 mins away and links to Akihabara. The entertainment area is across the road but does not intrude or make one feel... more

Me and my husband booked this hotel for "Hotelclub" website for 4 nights for 180$ a night not including breakfast. This was the second most expensive hotel in Japan (out of 5 hotels in 3 weeks) but by far the worst. There were hairs in the sink, on the bed, in the tub, something smeared in the toilet, dust and... more

I knew I wanted to stay in this area of Tokyo, because of proximity to the Asakusa Kannon Temple, the old style Japanese feeling of the area and the shopping area at the temple. This hotel exceeded expectations because the room was much larger than expected. There was a sitting area and a floor to ceiling window. The western style... more

* A luxury hotel in quite a down-to-earth area • Staff are very helpful and welcoming • Decor is opulent yet slightly old-fashioned • Double room was huge with a fantastic view • Japanese restaurants inside were very tasty and a great experience more

We needed to stay overnight between flights arriving and departing Narita. Deciding to avoid airport hotels, we chose the Asakusa View as being reasonably accessible from Narita (take the Skyliner to Ueno and a short taxi ride). We arrived at about 4.00 pm and departed at 7.30 the following morning. The hotel itself was adequate for a short stay, although... more
