“All are good except internet service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Just like the title says, all services are good.
Location is quite far from Asakusa station, but is easy to find from exit 7 (just walk straight for 10-15 mins).
Room is neat & cleaned everyday, but they don't provide water inside the fridge.
Also no computer, but LAN cable is available.
Laundry is convenient (300yen for washing, 100yen for drying).
Staff are nice, though their English is limited. Just talk to them using simple sentences & they'll understand.
You can use the phone inside your room with reasonable charge.

The only weakness that I experienced is the internet connectivity. Sometimes the connection was cut in the middle of browsing..and it happened often,which was irritating coz I needed to find some info about the places I wanted to visit.

Room Tip: no tips coz all rooms are fine

“Good basic hotel”

This hotel is situated very well if you are travelling via the Narita airport. I used the new Skyliner train to get to Ueno metro station and from there with the subway to Asakusa metro station.

The hotel is easily reached by subway from anywhere in the city. There is a 5-10 minutes walk from the Asakusa metro station. There were easy to find a taxi.

The room was small but clean and functional. In the room there were a refrigerator and a waterboiler. The aircondition worked well. The staff was very polite but had rather poor level of english.

“Good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011

Smile Hotel Asakusa is nothing fancy, but it is definitely a good value for Tokyo. We got a rate of less than $60 per night, and while the room was tiny, you can't expect much else in Tokyo. All the necessities were included, it was clean, and it was affordable.

Pros: Good location if you want to explore Asakusa (which has a lot to see), clean, comfortable, affordable, right on the main road

Cons: Long walk from the metro (15-20 mins depending on which line), only one elevator

“You get what you pay for”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2011

As it is a budget hotel I wasn't expecting anything amazing.
The room was clean and the shower was good. It was a little noisy the first time I stayed as I was next to the laundry room. When I came back for a final night at the end of my trip that room smelt of smoke. The staff were all very polite and helpful. Bearable but next time will spend more money elsewhere.
Would reccommend for people on a tight budget.
