We needed to stay overnight between flights arriving and departing Narita. Deciding to avoid airport hotels, we chose the Asakusa View as being reasonably accessible from Narita (take the Skyliner to Ueno and a short taxi ride). We arrived at about 4.00 pm and departed at 7.30 the following morning. The hotel itself was adequate for a short stay, although... more

My partner and I stayed here for 6 nights in October. We arrived at the Asakusa View Hotel after 16 hours travelling and were delighted to find it even better than described in the other reviews here. As you come in through the door – helped by uniformed porters and doormen – the Mimosa café is directly in front of... more

Whilst I would agree that the staff are friendly, I would stress that, in our experience, they are no more so than in rest of Japan. I would therefore consider the reviews below to be misleading. I would consider the hotel to be a little tired/dated - the room we had was a bit '80s. The worst thing about it... more

I agree with the past few reviews about this hotel .The staff were very polite and helpful especially the concierge lady who couldn't do enough for us .The room was clean and comfortable (if a little 1970's in decor) .We only ate breakfast in the hotel which was a buffet with a range of Western and japanese breakfasts .

But as my taxi pulled up I was pleasantly surprised, as I was met by a smart hotel porter and ushered into a... more

Thought we had picked a medium size, medium priced hotel. Walked up to find fancy lobby - doormen - the works. English speaking staff is not as prevalent as you would wish - but that is true throughout Tokyo - surprised us how little English there is. Concierge is helpful to a fault - came to our room loaded down... more

The Asakusa View Hotel is both affordable and spacious - two factors which are rare in Tokyo's hotels. I was a solo traveller and requested a non-smoking room. They provided me with a top floor room facing the Senso-Ji temple, which I thoroughly recommend as the views are spectacular. The interior decor is aesthetically pleasing and the rooms are spotless.... more

We spent two nights in the Asakusa View Hotel. We actually experienced two different rooms at the hotel because we spent one night, left our suitcases at the hotel (which they held for us for no charge), took an overnight excursion to Hakone, and then spent one more night at the Asakusa View. The hotel is a large, modern hotel... more

ein ungewöhnliches Umfeld haben wir gewollt und erwartet. Wir fanden die Lage toll und das Personal immer freundlich und äußerst... more
