Hotel MyStays Asakusa

Of the ten years of visiting Japan, this hotel is the worst stay. Never mind the price because I booked last minute, but it was pricey. Staff are professional and courteous so I will give them that. The hallway decor is not terrible and seemed to have done some renovation, but the basement is smelly. The room was very dated and tiny. Dirty, stained, and needs a total overhaul on the walls, floor, and kitchenette. No need for excessive furniture if the room can't support it. The room is quiet however but the heat is turned on even in the Spring, so you can't sleep at night anyway. The hotel is on the other side of Sumida River and although there is a bus stop in front, if you want to get to Kuramae Station, the walk over the bridge is windy. Overall, I would NOT recommend this hotel. APA are much better options.

Hotel MyStays Asakusa Let's do this! I found this hotel in Agoda about two months ago. It was reasonably priced, but I was having quite a doubt since the ratings and reviews were not, let's say, not convincing, although they were dated more than two years ago. That's before the pandemic. I continuously searched for other options. However, I kept the hotel in my cart in case I was unable to find anything more reasonable. In the end, a month before the trip, I finally locked it. Okay, location, I can say was very good. It's about two to three minutes' walk to Kuremae station of the Oedo line. It was not connected to the Asakusa station, but a 5 - to 10-minute walk will take you there for the Asakusa line and Ginza line. Basically, it's a great place to go anywhere in Tokyo. It was also, if you're a walker like me, near the Sensoji temple, also known as Asakusa Kannon, which has a lot of food stalls, souvenir shops, shopping stores and IG worthy streets around! The hotel was also a walking distance to combinis, Anytime fitness, and the Sumida River if you feel like jogging. Service was, below average. Although the frontdesk staff were accommodating, the hotel service overall is not hotel worthy. They don't offer room service and turn down service. Maybe because of the lowered rate, which is very low in comparison to other hotels around. We only paid about 17k (tax included) for 6 days! Other hotels will charge you 40% or more for the same kind of room as what we have. Trash will not be collected, so guests should segregate and take it to the basement. Laundromat is available in the basement as well. 300¥ for 30 minutes of wash, including the soap and 200¥ for 30 minutes of heated spin dryer. The room was clean and spacious enough in comparison to Japanese hotel room standards. The bed has crisp sheets, and the pillows are comfortable. The bathroom is Japan standard with Japan standard toilet seat. Yes, it has an automated bum sprinkler! Hehehe. Toiletries were available while you can refresh them by getting what you need in the hotel lobby. The liquid body soap, shampoo, and conditioner were amazingly scented! I actually love the smell! The room also has a hairdryer, air conditioning, mini refrigerator, television with local channels, air purifier, and a set of USB cables for charging. Wifi was not powerful enough to reach us when in bed. We have to go near the door to get a better signal. It's maybe because our room was situated at the very end of the corridor. It's not a deal breaker, though. For me, the only setback I had with the hotel was when they turned off the electricity for reasons we were not aware of when we checked in. They did inform us before we went to our room, but we had to move out after we got our bags settled. They said that the room might be warm if we stayed since the electricity would be turned off for almost three hours. Overall, the room served its purpose. It's not the best, but I think it is worth the price if I am to compare it with other accommodation around.
