Hotel Keihan Asakusa
New Year's Eve visit to Senso-ji Temple was unforgettable, and thanks to road closures afterward, finding a hotel within walking distance was crucial. Hotel Keihan Asakusa turned out to be the perfect choice—just steps away from the temple, making it incredibly convenient. The location is unbeatable, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Clean rooms, great value, and a peaceful atmosphere made this a memorable experience. I’d definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Tokyo, especially during festivals or busy times.
Other Space Asakusa
Staying at Other Space Asakusa was an absolute highlight of my trip to Tokyo. The location is unbeatable—just a quick walk across the street and you're right in front of Senso-ji Temple. The common areas are spacious and well-designed, perfect for working or simply relaxing with a good book. Breakfast was a real treat—fresh, varied daily options that kept things exciting. My room had a direct view of Senso-ji, and the rooftop terrace offered stunning views of the Tokyo Skytree, especially beautiful at sunset. The overall vibe is modern, clean, and welcoming. Staff were incredibly friendly—housekeeping even greeted us with a smile and a thank you. There’s also a language exchange event hosted in the dining area (paid), which was a fun way to meet other travelers. The only minor issue was that the duvet felt slightly damp, possibly due to humidity, but it didn’t detract much from the excellent experience. Overall, this place offers great value, comfort, and charm. I’d definitely come back.
Richmond Hotel Tokyo Mejiro
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.
Hotel Nihonbashi Saibo
Staying at Hotel Nihonbashi Saibo was an absolute highlight of my trip to Tokyo. The location is unbeatable—right next to the subway station, making it super easy to explore downtown areas like Ginza and Shinjuku without any hassle. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed with excellent natural light pouring in through the windows. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby—no noise, no disturbances, just pure relaxation. Everything was clean, modern, and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches throughout. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. Breakfast was a real treat: a great mix of Japanese and Western options, fresh and delicious. I felt like I was getting more value than I paid for. From check-in to check-out, the whole experience was smooth and seamless. This hotel offers outstanding value and comfort. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to everyone I know.
Richmond Hotel Asakusa
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!

The nearby Ryogoku Park is a lovely spot during the day, and the neighborhood is peaceful at night—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The hotel itself is small but thoughtfully designed. My room was more spacious than expected, with no cramped feeling, and the bed was super comfortable. Cleanliness was excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Whether traveling solo for business or with friends, this place hits all the right notes—great value, quiet, and well-located. I’ll definitely be back.
Dormy Inn Ueno-Okachimachi Hot Spring
This was my second stay at this hotel, and the experience was just as excellent as the first. The front desk offers self-check-in and check-out, which is super convenient, and they also provide luggage storage—perfect for early arrivals or late departures. I arrived around 8:00 AM on day one and checked out after 5:00 PM on the last day, giving me a relaxed and stress-free trip. The hot spring baths are clean, well-maintained, and incredibly soothing—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring Tokyo. Evening snacks were a nice touch, offering a cozy, homey feel. What really stood out was the special New Year’s Eve meal: free soba noodles to ring in the new year—such a thoughtful and memorable gesture. The only minor downside is that there’s only one elevator, so waiting times can be longer during peak hours. Still, it’s a small trade-off given how much else the hotel delivers. Overall, fantastic value, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere—I’d definitely come back.

I appreciated the complimentary self-service amenities; everything I needed was available and well-stocked. The sleepwear was especially cozy and comfortable—so much so that I actually wanted to take it home! There’s also a vending machine and an ice maker on each floor, which came in handy during my stay. The only minor note: the room lighting is a bit dim, but it’s not an issue when you’re trying to sleep. What truly stood out was the care I received when I unexpectedly fell ill during my visit. The night staff went above and beyond with kind support and assistance—I’ll never forget how thoughtful they were. This place isn’t just about location and comfort; it’s about genuine hospitality. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Tokyo.

Staying at Vessel Inn Ueno Iriya Station was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from check-in onwards—great service! The room is compact but very clean and cozy, with a lovely view of Tokyo Skytree right outside the window. It’s especially magical in the evening when the tower lights up. The hotel is super convenient, just a short 5-minute walk from Exit 4 of Iriya Station. There's a 7-Eleven and a drugstore nearby for all your essentials. If you're heading toward Kitazawa or north, Exit 4 is perfect; if you're going toward Nakameguro via Ueno Station, use Exit 1—easy navigation.
