    Location near the Asakusa temple, you can see Tokyo sky tree view, very nice and convenient. Hostel is close to the MRT. takes 10~15 min to walk. The room was a little smaller than in the pictures, but very clean.

    - super dusty carpet (after extra cleaning, the air quality improved a little bit) - room doors open outwards + window super small -> no option to leave room if door is blocked from the outside in an emergency - room is tiny (even smaller than what we expected based on the pictures), ok for two nights but wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay

    - superb location - common area to hang out, eat, drink tea - fair price

    The room is quite small than I expected and not that much soundproof.

    I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is great, just a short walk from Asakusa Station and very close to the Sensoji Temple, which made sightseeing super convenient. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was clean and well-maintained.

    Room was clean but felt a bit cramped. But since I’m solo travelling, it was ok. Just that it’s some way from Asakusa Station so be prepared to walk.

    The only negative was the pillows were super hard. But the beds were comfortable.

    The room was a good size, clean and comfortable. Stunning view of the Tokyo Skytree. The balcony was lovely for some fresh air and extra space. Coin laundry onsite was easy to use and efficient. Great location, so close to Senso-ji Temple. Staff were lovely and always helpful.

    It was about a km walk from metro, so location wasn't very comfortable. Also room was very small barely any place to keep luggage, No window but a small opening for light in the room. If you are looking for place to crash in the night, this is a good choice as it's cheaper option. You can not spend entire day in the room.

    Staff was very friendly, they had vending machine at the Ground floor so hot and cold drinks were readily available, they also had a water filter available on ground floor.

    Everything was great!

    My boyfriend and I spent two nights at Softlight Inn. We had a lovely stay here! The front desk staff was very polite. On the ground floor, there is a laundry for guests to use and a cozy area with tables and vending machines. Although the room was not very big, our bed was really comfortable and there was plenty of space under the bed to store our luggage. The room also had a kettle to make hot tea and a small, nice private bathroom. The Senso-ji temple is at a walkable distance from the inn. If you walk a bit further, you may reach Ueno, where we visited the Ueno Zoo.

    The location was decent—situated in a quiet area, which was nice, though I would have preferred it to be a bit more central. The room was a bit small for three people.

    There isn't much to dislike, this hotel was excellent. Like many buildings in Japan there are thin walls so sound insulation isn't amazing. For this price this is about as good as you can get though.

    This is a lovely hotel in an excellent location. Staff are all extremely helpful and seem to speak a pretty wide range of languages. It's a fairly cheap hotel in a super good location in Tokyo so the rooms are small, but they're well equipped with nice bathrooms and comfortable beds.

    Not for the hotel, i just didn’t expect to have so many stairs going up and down at the train station.

    Perfect from HND airport, just one train to take to the hotel’s closest station. The location is quiet at night and there is a 7 eleven close by.

    Room size is on the smaller side, but if you are travelling on your own, it shouldn’t be a problem

    Location in Asakusa is great, walking distance to senso-ji temple (10 min) and tokyo skytree tower (20 minutes). Also to samurai museum. Room was small, but for single person stay ideal, clean and comfortable. Staff very polite and helpful

    Nothing actually but it will be good if the room has a fridge. Distance to the train station is a bit far other than that all good.

    Almost every staff is kind and respectful. If you need something just ask they try as much to assist and they really will. They are always ready and happy to help. Room is clean too. The reception area is very spacious and luggage storage available. There are 3 huge dining tables with plenty of seats for you to rest or dine in. Water & tea beverages are also free flow.

    Toilet was a bit small but i'm not a small man either so it is understandable.

    Room was clean and have enough space. There were a few fire alarm at around 12midnight which woke us up. Funnily it was a pretty interesting experience as a bunch of us went downstairs to the lobby together to ask what was going on. Truly the Happy new year gathering. Shout out to my new friends Yuji and Nevo, hope to meet again one day.

    Tiny room- but they manage the lack of space by having higher beds and lighting under the bed so you can use it as storage. Good idea to deal with this issue, I’d suggest going the whole way and and making a top decker bed (climb up like in double deckers) so you have actual space to maneuver luggage.

    24h reception, clean

    I don't have any major complaints. Maybe go for a hotel with slightly bigger rooms if you're planning on staying inside a lot, but if you're going to be out all day and are only planning to rest at your hotel then it's perfectly fine.

    Good location, comfortable room if a little cramped, but that's to be expected from solo travelling in Tokyo. If anything the room was well optimized with plenty of space under the bed for my huge suitcase and next to the bed for all the stuff I bought. Staff was nice, good location (15min walk from Asakusa station and close to senso ji, one of the best parts of Tokyo).
