Staying at Richmond Hotel Premier Asakusa International was an absolute delight. The room was significantly larger than other hotels I've stayed in, offering a spacious and comfortable feel throughout. Cleanliness was excellent—every corner felt fresh and well-maintained. Location-wise, it's incredibly convenient: just a 10-minute walk to Senso-ji Temple, with plenty of local shops, cafes, and restaurants right on the hotel’s doorstep. I didn’t need to go far for food or essentials—everything I needed was literally steps away. The blend of comfort, cleanliness, and unbeatable location makes this hotel a top choice. I’d definitely come back here on my next trip to Tokyo. Highly recommended!

Absolutely thrilled with this hotel! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the metro station, and right across from Tokyo Skytree and its vibrant shopping complex. Walking into my room felt like stepping into a cozy retreat: spacious, well-lit, and with a stunning view of Skytree when I opened the curtains—truly magical. Complimentary toiletries were thoughtful and high quality. Breakfast was an absolute highlight—wide variety, fresh ingredients, and delicious flavors. I especially loved the toast recommended by the staff—it was perfectly crisp and rich in taste. Everyone on the team was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. I must give a special shoutout to the tall, kind front desk attendant who patiently answered all my questions and made me feel welcome. From start to finish, the service was exceptional. This place offers incredible value and comfort. I’ll definitely be back.

Staying at this hotel was a great choice, especially for the timing of events. Located just a short walk from Mejiro Station on the JR Yamanote Line, it’s super convenient—just exit left and you’re there. I’ve stayed in other hotels near Roppongi before, but they close early on New Year’s Eve when the subway stops running. This one, however, is right on the Yamanote Line, which runs all night during the holiday period—perfect for catching a late-night concert like Ayumi Hamasaki’s New Year show. Plus, they handed out a welcome drink voucher upon check-in, redeemable at the second-floor café for a wide variety of beverages—coffee, tea, juice, you name it. The selection was better than expected! Clean rooms, friendly staff, and excellent value for money. If you're visiting Tokyo around New Year’s or need reliable access to the city’s transit network, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

Staying at this hotel in Asakusa was an absolute delight! It’s just a short walk from the station exit, with plenty of dining options and popular shops like Uniqlo, GU, and Don Quijote nearby—perfect for grabbing snacks or souvenirs. The temple and Senso-ji Shrine are only minutes away on foot, making it ideal for exploring Tokyo’s historic heart. We booked a triple room, which was noticeably larger than standard rooms, and while the 4th floor view only showed half of the Skytree, it still offered a great glimpse. I’d imagine higher floors provide a more complete view. Traveling from Narita Airport via the Keisei Access Line is super convenient—direct service to the station with elevators right at the exit, making luggage handling easy. Overall, the location, comfort, and value make this a top choice. I’ll definitely come back!

Breakfast is decent overall, though the menu stays quite consistent across days. After staying four nights, I noticed the same few options each morning, so adding more variety would make it even better. That said, I saw many guests like me staying two to three nights, and I ended up extending to four—it’s clear this place has strong appeal. With its great value, convenient location, and friendly atmosphere, I’d definitely choose this hotel again when visiting Tokyo.
