Vessel Inn Asakusa Tsukuba Express

A go-to choice for anyone visiting Asakusa! I always stay in a single room, and the bed size and room space are just right—not too cramped, not too spacious. The bathroom is clean and very functional, making it easy to use. What really stands out is the check-in starting at 2:00 PM and the welcome drink available until 11:00 PM—such a thoughtful touch. During this stay, I was lucky enough to catch the 'Moon Viewing Thief' event—a fun, festive little experience that added a unique charm to my visit. It’s rare to find such a cozy hotel with such warm hospitality and special events. Highly recommend!
