Cons far outweigh the pro’s
Hotel strictly enforces 3pm ck in even though rooms are vacant.
Before even using my bed, I found hairs on sheets and comforter, NOT MINE ! ( some were of pubic variety)
Called housekeeping, they replaced promptly,BUT
“Mattress “ below sheets was heavily soiled with stains.
Quite gross.
I made up my mind that I was not going to sleep on that.
Tried calling hotels.com who called hotel directly to arrange a refund/cancellation but no one returned their call.
Thus I waited all night for a call that never came.
Tried sleeping on bed, but the thought of what was under the sheets did not promote a good nights sleep,
plus the bed was super hard.
After a restless night, I decided to ck out @ 0400.
To my surprise, there is no one manning the front desk.
There is a number to call, which I tried, but no one answered, quite useless to leave an after hours number, and not answer it.
FYI, front desk is manned after 0800.
I left at 0500, and put my keys in drop box.
The hotel is quite far from mrt and eateries.
There are a couple of Lawasons, but that’s it.
Don’t let the name fool you, it is quite far from Asakusa station.
We ended up taking a taxi to/from hotel about Y820 each way.
Highly recommend you spend extra $ on a better hotel near MRT, cause $ saved will only be spent on taxi fare.
Besides, this is a very very budget hotel and it truly is.
Pro’s
Room is bigger than other rooms in Japan.
Private bathroom, but has mold on walls.
