Hotel is in great position close to public transport and Asakusa also on the Sumida River which is good for a long stroll along the river path. Nice to have a soak in the spa after long walks around Tokyo. The #42 bus stops right outside the front door giving quick, cheap travel to Tokyo Station and others along the route. Return stop is only about 100 meters (maybe less) on other side of the street.

I had no real problems with hotel or staff overall. However, it was difficult to explain that I wanted to place travel documents and some other items in a security packet. It seems most of the staff had no idea that they had the facility. I had stayed in this same property at 31st March and had the same problem. Many hotels now have small safes in rooms this one doesn't. I wasn't upset about this and for my part I regarded it as a "training" exercise for the staff involved. But despite the language problems it's hard for me to accept that they are not trained to deal with this request.

Typical APA hotel room nothing bad or exceeded my expectation. Fresh daily towels and cleaning of the room every 3 days. Good location between train stations. 10min wall from the shrine and busy Asakusa streets. Cute cafes around. I would, however, stay again as it's really for sleeping and showering.

The lifts totally suck and they are so slow, especially during peak times. You can be waiting 10 minutes for a free lift. The check in machines are ok but pointless when staff members still need to check passports etc Only 1 washing machine and 1 dryer for the entire hotel on a first come basis. That's fine, unless someone hog's the dryer.

We stayed at the APA Hotel Asakusa Kuramae and overall had a positive experience. The location was very convenient — just about a 15-minute walk to the main area of Asakusa, which made sightseeing and access to restaurants and shops easy. The hotel kindly held our luggage prior to check-in, which was a huge help. However, the check-in process itself was a bit confusing, as we had to individually check in each member of our family, which took more time than expected. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with daily restocking of coffee and tea. We also appreciated that fresh towels were provided daily and left in a clean bag outside the room, which was a nice touch.

The main downside was the air conditioning. We weren’t able to control the cooling system ourselves, and the room stayed warmer than we would’ve liked. We ended up having to keep the window open at night, but unfortunately, traffic noise from the street made it hard to sleep at times.

1. The location is very close to subway station, can get to Narita airport directly. 2. The community is calm and comfortable, just besides the Tokyo skystreet. 3. The room is very comfortable and enough space compared to other hotel in Japan. 4. Hot spring in 12th floor is amazing, must try!

1. The AC in my room making some annoying noise, so I have to turn it off and just open window. 2. If you have tight and busy schedule, better to live close to city centre or JR station. Kuramae is very attractive community but bit far away and take some time to transfer to main station.

The room was small but that was expected as it was clearly stated in the website. My daughter and I managed just well with our luggages. It was well located to two train stations -making it easy for us to move around. The room was clean. Even though they do not clean the room on a daily basis, they provided clean towels daily. The staff are friendly, helpful and speak reasonably good English. There are 7-Eleven and FamilyMart nearby. If you are OK with small space --this is value for money.

Just teh samll room..but if you watch the TV --they tell you why their rooms are small..which kind of make sense. I seriously think that they can make do without the bathtub.

My boyfriend and I only stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, but we can definitely say that it was an incredible experience. The reception staff are very friendly, the rooms are clean and have many facilities. In addition, the hotel has a public bathroom on the upper floor (which is divided for men and women), with hot water and a bathtub that has a small view of Tokyo Skytree, so it's beautiful at night!! Not to mention the location of the hotel, which, although it's not in the most popular areas of Tokyo, is a very beautiful area, with a lot of Japanese culture and essence. It was definitely the best hotel we stayed at in Tokyo and it's definitely worth the trip!

Service was amazing. After a couple of nights in a room with musty sheets and next to the elevator with people talking and waking me up a few times a night, I asked to be moved. Not only did they move me, but the room was ready right then and gave me a room on the 12th floor - very convenient to the amenities. First room and women's bath had a beautiful view of the river and Tokyo Skytree. The bath was great and rarely very busy. Room was very clean. Very convenient between 2 metro stations and a bus stop right out the front door.

First room had musty smelling sheets and while the walls are well sound-proofed, the doors are not. Also sad to hear of the owner's troubling controversies - would be the biggest deterent of staying again.

Small but compact room, enough for a one person or a couple. Helpfull staff. Luggage storage after check out was usefull,i was in town anyway so it didn't matter that the luggage was in the lobby instead of the room. Fresh towels,

Im not used to having ac inside so i was kinda hot at night,i didn't knew it's there,english text next to things would be usefull(its already there on tv remote) No english subtittles for movies in vod really turned me off,i would have love to watch them.

I came with some expectations after reading a lot of reviews, so my experience was very positive. Basically if you don't have high expectations, you will have a good time! -The location is just perfect, close to subway stations and just few minutes walking to Sensoji. -Outside it's noisy but the windows have good isolation -The amenities provided are very good -Very clean

Even if I'm giving 10 starts (because I think the price-quality is good) there's some things that you should consider: -Rooms ultra small for 2 people -The staff is not friendly, they didn't say even "hi" when we arrived -There's some stains in the walls

The location is a convenient 4min walk from Kuramae station (there are 2 Kuramae stations so it's the one further north) and 10min walk to Asakusa station. It has an on-site restaurant (with special offers for guests) and two onsens (one indoors and one open-air) with a great view of the river and Tokyo Skytree. We were allowed to leave our suitcases before check-in, although they weren't secured in a room but left out in the lobby with a tag on them. The hotel is not responsible for the safekeeping of any valuables so be aware. The rooms are cleaned every three days but a new set of toiletries, robes and towels are left out every day.

There's only one laundry machine and a long queue quickly formed to use it. It does have self-dispensing laundry detergent so no need to bring your own. However, the dryer isn't very effective for large loads. There's also black mould around the vents in the onsen changing room and the linoleum floor is sodden and peeling.
