BANRAI HOTEL

Place was super clean and staff was friendly. The only thing that is an issue is the bed is uncomfortable. I weight about 150 and I can feel the springs. It’s tolerable for 1 night stay but for this reason I can’t recommend. Everything else is great. Clean and good shower pressure. And they even recived packages for me and let me store luggage when checked out. Price was great for location.

My family and I booked this hotel last minute and we loved it! From the location to the service, this place is awesome. They have an elevator stairs to go up to the rooms, including a restaurant on the first floor. We booked a room suitable for up to 8 people and it was very clean and presentable. Our only issues were the bathroom door is opaque so you won’t get much privacy when using the toilet/shower and there was not a lot of noise filtration shielding us from the outside, as a lot of noise was able to come inside the room (but was expected because of New Years, not the hotel at fault). Other than that, this hotel was awesome! I’d book again :)

Great location near to Senso-ji temple and markets. Also, only a short walk to Tokyo Skytree. Room was very comfortable and spacious, with decent sized shower.

We pre-booked and paid for our rooms in May 2024 for an October stay. Come October, we showed up with confirmations in hand and was told that the rooms had been overbooked and we didn't have the rooms we requested. Staff was apologetic and immediately re-booked us with an Air bnb that had 1-bathroom/toilet for 12 people. We finally checked-in at around 10 pm but was told that we had to be checked out by 10 am due to a previous booking. Not sure how the overbooking happened but check 72-hours before you arrive regardless of having paid ahead for your stay.

Great stay overall - breakfast was very filling (rice, miso soup, egg, sausage, fish, cold tea), and extremely convenient location right next to Ginza and Asakusa lines. Room was a bit on the smaller side, and the ceiling a bit low too, but overall okay even with two luggage bags (can’t really open them both at the same time). It can be a bit noisy at night because of the rooftop bar so something to note when booking. Great value for location and service.

Fantastic location and great staff, but be aware that the Standard Room listed on expedia has NO WINDOW. The expedia lists that rather important detail under 'other'. It felt like staying in a storage closet.

Staff are incredibly kind. Walkable to all tourist areas in asakusa. Only complaint is there is a bar below and on top of rooms so it is quite noisy. They do offer free ear plugs.

Location and convenience. Right smack in Asakusa, 2 mins from nearest metro station, 5 mins to Kaminarimon, lots of food and dining options.

the first night they put in a room with no window then moved to another room at least it had but the bed was very uncomfortable and the air-conditioning did work well i would stay here again i ended up moving to another hotel so i could get a good night sleep

The hotel is located right next to the Asakusa station A4 exit. You can walk to the Kaminarimon (landmark temple gate with huge lantern) within a minute, no joking. That says the hotel is in prime location of Asakusa. The staffs were nice and warm, even though some are not fluent in English but they will try their best to explain things. My son also got 5 Pokemon cards :D from the staff. The breakfast was nice. The room is bigger that what we expected, I believe they upgrade us to a 2 bunkbed room, which can easily sleeps 8 ppl. This hotel is awesome even though this is not a big hotel or from any well known hotel chain.

Exceeded expectations. Awesome, helpful staff. Great rooms. Great location. Great value.

Located in great area with lots of shopping and dining options. Near train station. Added shade on 1 window is great but other windows didn't and it can get really bright in the room.

Very comfortable stay and like the location here. So convenient.

What a hidden gem. Wish I had found it earlier and I would have based my entire stay in Tokyo here. Awesome staff, great food and a top notch location.

Lovely, large room and perfect location

Location is right on the left side of one of Asakusa stations's exit, it's 2 minutes walk to Kaminorimon so I really enjoy to be able walking around Asakusa at night. For the price and location, it's a steal. My room was meant for 3 person, so its very spacious since i travelled solo. there's a restaurant on groundfloor, rental kimono on 4th floor and rooftop bar on 5th floor, so its convenient if thats what you're looking for good laundry room - the noise is big reason why i won't recommend this place. I'm not a party person, so listening to electronic music from 7 to past midnight while trying to sleep is not fun. If i may suggest, it should be a mandatory that door between floor & hallways need to be kept closed when the bar is operating to reduce noise, because it really disturb guests. - I really love the Japanese style room, however mattress was quite thin, i can feel the metal peer inside the mattress perhaps invest in better one. I think if they improve amenities, service and noises, there's big potential for this place.

Great location with English speaking staff. Can highly recommend karaoke at the bar on the first floor at night. It's no frills which, in my opinion, is exactly what you want as especially a single traveler. Sometimes Japanese hotel hospitality can be overbearing, but this place feels friendly and casual.

This was the worst experience hotel I've ever been to. As soon as I walked into the room (with no windows) I smelled a strong chemical odor but didn't think too much of it. Took a quick shower, bathroom was nice (great shower pressure and very new and clean) and went out. Came home late and went to bed, woke up a couple hours later and could not go back to sleep because of awful chemical smell. Pretty sure it was Formaldehyde. Disgusting chemical smell that made it impossible to go back to sleep. Now several weeks later I still have a burning sensation in my throat. The Hotel refused not refund me for the night I spent but agreed through Expedia Rep to cancel and refund the rest of my stay. I never complain or leave negative reviews, but this place is not safe, please do not stay here! I still worry about the effect this will have on my overall health.

The staff were extremely nice. Very straightforward, it’s got everything you need. Clean and comfortable.

Booked thia place last minute and it was excellent. I felt safe and the location was near many things to do while visiting Tokyo! Great staff, very nice and helpful with all my requests!
