The Gate Hotel in Asakusa is a fantastic choice, offering great convenience due to its proximity to the subway and excellent connections to central areas. Our room was spacious, with a comfortable bathroom and a good selection of amenities. The breakfast buffet featured a wide variety of high-quality options.

Nothing significant to highlight—perhaps the staff could improve their English proficiency, but they are very kind and supportive. One tip: avoid bringing electric devices that require high voltage. My wife brought her Dyson from the UK, and it didn’t work because the voltage here is lower than in some other countries.

Location is good and just a short walking distance to Asakusa station, clean and very convenient. Staff are polite and smiley and feel welcome .

Just sharing ,there is no coin laundry in the hotel. Good that they have a coin laundry shop nearby, walk for about 5 mins or less. No hassle as the shop is nearby and the washing machine is available to use most of the time. There’s nothing that we don’t like . All is good

Awesome location. Really close to a couple of Subway lines with easy access to famous tourist points and attractions. One of the the most popular shrines in Tokyo, the Asakusa shrine is located just across the road. Starbucks is just next door, and lot of other eating places and restaurants all around the hotel. The hotel is close to the Ginza line and a few stops away from the Ueno station and park which is the get off point for the Zoo and a host of other museums. Another disxovery we had was that there is another line by which you can reach Akihabara which is just three stations away. We had earlier relied upon the Ginza line which took a longer route. The Tokyo skytree is also walking distance or can be reaches by the subway as well. The hotel itself is clean with great views from the lobby. The rooms on the lower floors are non smoking but don't have any views. The rooms are a bit small, but this is again expected for centrally located hotels in top cities. The staff is great and the breakfast is adequate = the options could come across as limited, but it's a pretty standard western fare. I also really liked the fact that the room had Nespresso machine with complimentary pods. Overall I would recommend the hotel both for the location and service.

This place knows what it's doing. Phenomenal. Huge room. Amazing bed. Fantastic location in a quieter part of Tokyo Asakusa. A phone power chord provided! An isolated, insulated shower & bath room, so nothing leaks! Incredible toiletries!

Not much. I guess the breakfast option is too expensive to really consider (I didn't try it so can't comment on its quality).

The Gate Hotel Asakusa offers an unforgettable experience allowing us to enjoy the energy of Asakusa without sacrificing tranquility. From the moment you step into the 13th-floor lobby, you are greeted with a superb panoramic view Asakusa, including the Sensoji Shrine and the iconic Tokyo Skytree. Beyond the stunning views, The Gate Hotel Asakusa excels in top-notch service. The staff's dedication is evident in every interaction, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. This was especially highlighted during our stay when my husband fell ill. The restaurant staff's thoughtful gesture of preparing a special soup and salad was a testament to their exceptional care and attention. The breakfast is truly amazing, featuring a gourmet coffee selection and a delicious spread of breakfast treats including delectable croissants. The rooms are beautifully designed, clean, modern with endless hot perfect water pressure. Location is another key highlight. The hotel's proximity to Sensoji Shrine and the Asakusa subway station allows for easy connections for exploration of all top Tokyo attractions. We highly recommend!

I liked the view from the 13 & 14 floor (reception and bar). I liked the cocktails and the vibe of the bar I liked the rooms that were small but comfortable. I liked the fresh orange juice at breakfast. I liked the staff that was very friendly and helpful and English speaking !

I didn't like everybody wearing masks ! Again ! 😷🤐😵 I didn't like the quality for money ratio of breakfast. Actually I don't b recommend booking accommodation with breakfast in Japan ! The location of the hotel is not very nice, including the Asakusa train station that has no escalators and a looot of steps. So I don't understand what makes this hotel more expensive than the one in Ginza ?!

So close to Asakusa station and multiple entry and exit to subway. Great view of the tokyo sky tree. They also have a veranda but unfortunately didn’t get to go and see it. Nearby to convince store and tourist location such Senso-ji temple, tokyo skytree and kappanbashi. Lots of tourist so the reception speaks English very well. Also they do Luggage transfer to other hotels which was very convenient. As the stations got so many stairs and you don’t want to be dragging and lifting those luggages. Lastly, you can take the keikyu line from the airport (HND) straight to the asakusa station and probably its only 6-8 mins walk to the hotel.

Nothing tbh

I've stayed at this hotel many times over about the last ten years. This was my first stay after Covid, and I was worried there might have been changes toward the worse. Well, there hadn't! I only noticed a few minor changes (the squeezing of orange juice is now done out of view of the guests). There is a little bit more wear on the rooms, maybe. Generally, this hotel provides excellent value in rooms some of which are large and have views of the Skytree (one of my rooms---I moved around a bit---had two windows towards the Skytree, one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom). The location, of course, is great, right across the street from the Thunder Gate (Kaminarimon) and an easy walk from Asakusa Station. But let me get to what this hotel is REALLY good at. The bar. Don't stay here if you don't like hotel bars---give someone else your spot. The bar is one of the best hidden secrets of Tokyo. It is intimate, open only to hotel guests, extremely fairly priced, and is staffed by at least two bartenders who are absolute artists. Just watch them preparing the ice... or making a simple drink, something as simple as a gin & tonic, with the care you'd expect to see someone using at NASA to assemble a Mars probe. They may not be the most adventurous drinks, but they are the most carefully made drinks I have ever seen anywhere---and at some of the most reasonable prices. And the view of the Skytree can't be beat. You can also take your drink out (have it delivered to you) on the heated patio (with an even slightly better view). Since the bar is only open to hotel guests, it is generally very quiet and relaxing. The bartenders are friendly and happy to try to converse in English. Oh, one improvement from years ago is that there's no longer any smoking indoors in the bar! Don't stay at this hotel without visiting the bar!!! And watch them make the drinks... and learn...!

nothing.

This hotel is very new and has some added bonuses such as the stunning view from the lobby and the rooftop terrace which was lovely after a big day of walking. The hotel is a welcome retreat after a big day in Tokyo. For our last day it was perfect for the souvenir shopping around Sensoji Temple as the hotel is right across the road. We booked a premium twin room and had playoff space to organise luggage along with separate toilets to the bathroom and a cupboard. At first I was disappointed that the hotel didn’t have an onsen however the bathroom was set up like your private one complete with seperate bath and seat to sit on to wash prior to getting on the bath. special mineral salts were provided to add to the water. With two ladies and lots of luggage from our travels, we had an excellent last night of our holiday at this hotel. We didn’t eat at the hotel but the restaurant looked lovely.

The lift to the subway if you want to catch the Asakusa line to Haneda is A2b. If you have a lot of luggage ( as we did) the walk is a little longer . This is no fault of the hotel however something to keep in mind. The G subway line is very close and only two stops from Ueno which is always a good option.
