FAV TOKYO Ryogoku

A lovely hotel that I would stay at again. I booked the bunk bed, which my roommate and I felt really comfortable in. Staff were quite friendly and most understood/could speak English. It says self check-in on the booking page but there was someone present to help us through the check-in process. Note that there's an accommodation tax (900 yen per person) that needs to be paid on check-in. Since we stayed for more than five days, they did full housekeeping (changing bedsheets) for two out of the eight days. However, they also were able to provide fresh towels and clear trash daily (we just put their provided magnetic notice on the door and left the items at the entryway). Showers were small, but amazing. They provide a day's worth of toothpaste, a toothbrush, a hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, an electric kettle, a microwave, plates, utensils, cups, scissors, detergent, and two pairs of room slippers. There was an HDTV (with an HDMI port) that we directly connected to Netflix (no need to logout) as well. This hotel is about an 8 minute walk away from Ryogoku station and 11 mins from Asakusa station. If you have a really physical day or have hefty luggage, then this might feel a bit far, but the area generally feels safe, and you get to cross the bridge over the Sumida river to/from Asakusa, which is nice. Other things to note: There is one shared washing machine for the whole hotel that's free to use, and it takes about 2H per wash and tumble dry cycle. There was no quick wash setting. We had to do ours in the wee hours because other guests were quicker to use them in the "prime" hours (7-9am and 8pm-12mn). A QR code and/or number code is used to unlock your door's digital lock. It's also used for checkout, so save the sheet of paper they issue. Otherwise, remember to take a picture as there's no service staff after a certain time and they will lock the doors to the entrance where the only way to get in is the issued code. Someone pressed the fire alarm accidentally one morning, which brought the fire department, ambulance and police to the hotel and the alert was deafening and heard neighbourhood-wide. Look carefully before you press/lean on a surface - there's no covering on the alarm button, but it is in the centre of a giant red circle. It was an eventful morning but we did not enjoy running down and climbing up 8-storeys worth of stairs (they shut the elevators in emergencies). Overall, a relaxing, cool vibe that feels clean and cozy.

The room is smaller than what the pictures show, typical “Tokyo-size” that you would expect. First room we checked into had a big cockroach on the wall; the staff was helpful to help us changed to a different room right away.

This hotel is very good, staff are nice and helpful, however there are some improvements for the hotel, such as the cleanness and the offered consumables of the room.

Bardzo miła obsługa, dobra lokalizacja blisko metra, dobre śniadanie i ciastka i kawa :)

飯店採自助check in,這次是兩個大人加一個一歲半的嬰兒，房間照片看起來很大，但實際放兩個行李箱就會有點卡卡，這次比較失望的是一進房間發現打掃沒有很乾淨，還有前房客的頭髮滿多的，然後冰箱上都是灰塵。飯店提供的毛巾漂白水味很重，建議自帶毛巾。 地理位子離車站大約15分鐘，唯一值得高興的是隔壁的鰻魚飯很好吃。

近地鐵站 附近都有便利店 有餐廳 住宿環境很不錯 非常滿意

房間不算大，兩個大喼要放置於梳化床 但勝在企理乾淨，服務員態度親切 床褥夠厚度夠成托力，阿女喜歡上下格床

房間小但是很乾凈 作為中轉酒店非常經濟且方便

I like the location, as it's very close to Ryogoku Station which makes it easy to travel to other parts of Tokyo. Also, I do a lot of running, and the path along the river is perfect for my morning workouts. The breakfast is quite basic, a sandwich or granola and yogurt, although the baristas provide good coffee to go with it. The rooms are small but very clean and have surprisingly well equipped kitchenettes. Laundry is free. It's a good option if you want to avoid hotels that are expensive and/or outside of town.
