Stayed here as a part of a 4 day trip to Tokyo. I picked the location mostly because of the convenience to the Asakusa Subway Station (Ginza and Asakusa Line, about 5-7 minute walk) and also to the Tobu train station in Asakusa (as I was going on a day trip to Nikko). I really enjoyed the location, it takes... more

Family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights in December. The room was better than I expected, although it could certainly do with some of the furniture being removed. The room had 4 single beds with a view of the temple from a smallish window. The decor was new and modern. The bathroom was tiny but had everything you need... more

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in June 2008, having already spent 10 days in Japan, staying in Hilton Hotels. This is not in the same class as the Hiltons, but is clean and comfortable. The first room we were given was a smoking room, so we asked to change and were given what turned out to be... more

After doing quite a bit of searching, we were having a hard time finding a place in Tokyo that would accommodate our family of four. Blue Wave Inn was a great find for us. We stayed for three nights in a quad room -- believe they only have one in the hotel -- with four twin beds. The room was... more

Very nice hotel, good value for money. We booked only a few days before arriving and for a discounted price, but they gave us a wonderful room with view over the temple on a high floor. The room is not big but the beds are extremely comfortable and there is no noise at all. The furniture is new and modern.... more

We stayed five nights at the Blue Wave, which we chose because of location, price, and reviews. We made bookings online but when we arrived, they had us booked for one night instead of five! The reception clerk leafed through a few pages and then gave us a triple room for all five nights. This meant we had far more... more

The room was alright, not anything special. It was clean, the beds were comfy, and our room had a pretty nice view of the pagoda, which is one of the big draws of Asakusa. I would consider the desk staff to be about average for anyplace but Japan, where service is generally extraordinary. It is about a 10 minute walk... more

The hotel is probably focused on business customers but that doesn't mean individual sightseeing tourists are not welcome. We had a fantastic stay there in a great location with a really nice and modern room. In comparison to the other places we stayed in Japan this was the best: decent room and bathroom size and a fantastic view over the... more
