Rakuten STAY Tokyo Asakusa

Very easy to use and convenient location for anyone wanting to go to Skytree or usd the Asakusa line. Only negatives were having all the lights connected to one switch, and finding some receipts and postcards from previous guests under the mattress.

No staff, no assistance. Annoying check in process.

The false fire alarm made for a rude awakening on Sunday morning. It wasn’t the fault of the hotel, yet I hope the hotel’s cameras caught the culprits.

Great place to stay if you are on a budget. I enjoyed my stay at Rakuten STAY. Nice area, transits and convenience stores nearby and not far from the Sensoji Temple.

I enjoyed my stay here at Rakuten stay in the okaimono panda room. The only small issue i had was the ac would drip on me at night when i was sleeping. Everything else was really nice. Great area to stay in. I'll definitely book here in the future.

Really loved my stay here, check in was seamless, room was very clean and just the right size for one person and the area was quiet and convenient to get around. Would love to stay here again when I’m back in Japan :)

good for solo travellers

The things I liked about the hotel are that it was super convenient, safe and had easy access to public transport. It’s also in the heart of Asakusa and therefore close to some of the popular tourist spots such as Senso-ji temple. However, I must say that there was no active staff working in the hotel - no staff at the reception so whenever we had issues we had no one directly to speak with. We had issues with AC in our room and had to go down to the lobby area to call through tablets to speak to someone and that someone was not even the direct management person. So it made the whole situation even more difficult. But in the end, we got another room and the issue was resolved.

The property is good but how do they expect foreigner to get through the glass entry who have no phone service. I was never emailed a gate password.

Room was pretty clean, but things like the shower curtain were stained and there was a stain on the carpet. When contacting the hotel support through email, they weren’t as gracious or accommodating when I asked for my room to be cleaned, and asked me to leave the room for an 8 hour window, from 8 AM to 4 PM. Not sure if that was appropriate, considering I paid for the room and had to leave for basically the whole day from really early in the morning, just because I asked for the sheets to be changed? Felt like they were punishing me for asking. When I wanted to book another night, they were pretty rude and unhelpful, telling me to simply book on my own (which would mean checking out, checking in after 3 PM and being in a new room). Seemed like they didn’t understand the convenience of extending a stay means I don’t want another room. I guess you get what you pay for with this place. If you want better hotel service and better support, I wouldn’t suggest staying here. If you like to be left alone, don’t plan to stay in your room at all, with little amenities, then this place is doable.

Pros: 1. Close by Skytree & Asakusa 2. Restaurants are nearby including Sushiro, Tokyo Sumidagawa Brewing, Muya and etc. 3. The Closest train station is Honjo Azumabashi [A3 exit] 4. Room is clean. There's Nescafe pod, electric kettle, cups, toothbrush, hair dryer. No microwave 5. There's 24 hrs coin laundry nearby and is called コインランドリー - 2 Chome-3-3 Azumabashi, Sumida City, Tokyo 130-0001, Japan. No detergent needed since the washing machine comes with it. 300 yen per wash Dryer - 100 yen for 10 min & you will need at least 30 to 40 min. Cons: 1. No room service by staff - For 8 days, there was no fresh sheet or towel 2. Called the phone number regarding with the fridge that got no power, they sent me email instead. Until my friend who know how to speak Japanese & they finally come fix it. A button on the wall with Jap writings on it fixes it. 3. The fridge is moldy. I think the previous person got the same issue but they didn't need it. I had to clean it with disinfected wipe before using. 4. Didn't receive the door code the night before. Until I realized they sent it to me over the email few hours before my arrival in Narita. 5. Make sure you know your reservation number beforehand, you need it to check in and check out on the tablet. 6. When you use the hotel tablet to call them, the line is usually busy and tell you to call back at later time. 6. It's hard to understand the staff over the phone. But if you know Japanese, you should be fine.

・部屋の狭さはあるが、立地が良いのでお値段はリーズナブルに感じた。 ・新しい雰囲気なのでまだ良いが、清掃がやはり雑に感じた(髪の毛や毛玉がチラホラ、食べカス、ゴミ箱にコーヒーの乾いた滴など)男性が掃除しているのでしょうか？きめ細やかさがない感じがしました。 ・冬に泊まったのでまだ良いが、冷蔵庫が全く冷えていないよう。冷蔵庫から電源のヴーンと音がするが、翌日ペットボトルを出しても全く冷たくなかった。夏はヤバそう ・シーツの生地が冷たく、冬なので布団が冷たくて寒かった。 まだ新しめなので、内装のキレイさから良いが このままの内容であれば、年数が経ったらなしかなと思う。

宿泊中の問い合わせにも快く対応して頂き 不安なく過ごせました。

綺麗だった

コーヒーメーカーでおいしいコーヒーが飲めます。そのほか日本茶などはなし。加湿器・レンジなど備え付けなし。バス＆トイレは清潔感があり広めで使いやすい。ミラーの一部がくもり止め加工されていて気配りされている印象。ベッドが広い分、デスクまわりや廊下は狭めです。

タブレットで受付などが完結するので無駄がない。 駅から近くて便利。

価格が安く、立地は最高。 チェックイン時に通話が発生するが、音が聞こえにくかった。

自販機が敷地内にあるとあったのだが、見つからなかった。 また、前日にリマインド用としてメールが来るが、そこでは宿泊者の情報を前入力してくださいとある。入力すると、チェックインに使用するバーコードが送られてくるが、実際にチェックインのときは使えなかった。スタッフの人から宿泊番号にしてくれと言われた。使わないなら送って欲しくない。ややこしかった。

No towel change, difficult checkin

盆期間前後に宿泊したが、安くても2泊で2万ほどを覚悟していたが、1万5千円もせず楽天の運営しているホテルということで安さと安心感があった。チェックイン時はタブレットで通話するが、他の人とタイミングが被ると聞き取りづらいかもしれない。 部屋は狭いが、都内で浅草、スカイツリー、両国まで徒歩30分かからず行ける範囲で、レンタサイクルをするとすぐに着く。ただ、浅草は自転車で行くと自転車の置き場に困るため、基本は歩きが良い。特に最寄駅である、本所吾妻橋駅からは1本で羽田空港まだ行くことができるため、飛行機で旅行する際には良い。 パジャマは日数分あったが、1枚腕のところに血の後のようなものがあり、少し気になった。また、そこらじゅうで洗面所の扉を開けて風呂に入らないように、入ると火災報知器が誤作動するとあったが、お風呂の換気扇は扇風機と間違えるほど音が大きく、換気してます！感が満載の換気扇なので、お湯を使いおわり熱気はものの数分で無くなってしまい、とても気持ちの良い風呂上がりになる。 ちなみに、コーヒーマシンがあり、ウェルカムドリンクだそうです。確認をしました。朝の目覚めのコーヒーになりました。気になるところもあったが、この値段ならいいかと感じるレベル、徒歩で観光もでき、交通も便が良い為満足度が高い。
