APA Hotel Asakusa Kuramae

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.

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 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.

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.

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
