APA Hotel Asakusa Ekimae

The room was very functional and had everything you could possibly want & need: a refrigerator, water kettle, shower, TV, bins, Wi-Fi access, a double bed, all the toiletries you could possibly need, room for luggage etc. The location is honestly unbeatable being next door to a FamilyMart and a 5 minute walking distance away from Sensoji Temple + about 15 minutes from Skytree. Using the Keisei Line, it was very easy to reach the hotel from Narita Airport in about an hour (up to Asakusa Station, the hotel is one of the first things you see when leaving the elevator or stairs so it is impossible to miss). The staff is friendly, they do not speak a lot of English but plenty to get you settled in your room or help you out if needed. I gave them a print-out of my booking.com information and they were happy to help. Checking out is very easy since you can just deposit your room pass in the lobby if you have no remaining payments, so no worries there if you have an early flight back home. There is plenty of luggage storage underneath the bed if you have a large suitcase. The room is also equipped with a few USB plugs in case you do not have a universal travel adapter (I had one, but sometimes it was easier just charging through the USB outlet). All the controls for the lights were on a single panel next to the bed, the one for the bed I was able to dim in case you prefer a softer light source before going to bed.

The location was very convenient. You are like a block or two away from Sensoji temple, Nakamise street and tons of other restaurants. You’re also close to the river, subway station, and Tokyo Skytree. You can take the subway directly to and from Haneda airport on the same subway line. It’s about a 40 min ride which nice. It’s located like 10 feet from exit one off of the Asakusa subway station. The stairs to the exit are long though so dragging up suitcases is kind of a pain. Luckily you only have to do this during check in and checking out. Use the luggage delivery service if you can to make things more convenient. The hotel staff was able to help me fill the paperwork and deliver my luggage to the airport. The tv in the room has free movies-on-demand which is nice. We kept it on while getting ready at night and in the mornings. Warning, they do have adult content but you can block it if you deem it inappropriate. The hotel provides amenities such as razors, tooth brushes, combs, etc. The shower temperature and pressure was good. The bidet seat works well. The staff was very polite and professional. The WiFi worked well and there was plenty of lighting. Also the view from the room was fantastic. We could see Sumida river and also the Tokyo Skytree from our room.

Great location for a great price. Asakusa Station exit A1 is right in front of the hotel and exit A2b which has an elevator is right across from the hotel. 24hr FamilyMart right next door was super convenient and their fried chicken and yakitory were so good! Can't beat that! Rooms are very small but was clean and quiet. Great value for us since we stayed out all day and only came in to sleep. No laundry on site but the front desk recommended a 24 hr coin laundry only a block away. No need for detergent and wash and dry in one machine done in about an hour. Overall a great stay.

The hotel is located in front of exit A1 of Asakusa train station. There is also another exit A2b with lift nearby, which just across the road in front of the hotel. It is within short walking distance to few famous spots in Asakusa and restaurant/ cafe nearby. There is direct train from/ to Narita airport via Asakusa station, which take about 1 hr. The room is clean and comfy. The bed is big and cozy. I like the bed design which can store luggage under the bed. TV screen is big and can link to phone to watch video online. Chair with roller, easy to move around when need space to open luggage. The soundproof of the room is good, I can’t heard any noise from next door or from the corridor when stayed inside the room.

I liked the location of the hotel because it was right in front of the train station (marunouchi line) which was really handy, the ginza line was also walkable distance. It was quiet despite being in Asakusa, but still enough people around to feel safe at night (as a female solo traveller). The room was quite small but for the price it was pretty good, and there was space under the bed to store luggage.
