APA Hotel <Asakusa Tawaramachi Ekimae>

It was located just outside Tawaramachi Station on the subway, making access extremely convenient.The building feels a bit dated, but parts of the interior seem to have been renovated and were kept clean and well maintained.Check-in is done via a self-service terminal, but the front desk staff explained everything carefully, so I was able to complete the process without any confusion.Because the corridor to the guest Rooms is an open-air walkway, it felt a little hot walking from the elevator to my Room on a sunny, warm day.The Room was compact but well designed. Although it was a single Room, the bed was relatively spacious, and there was enough space to open my suitcase.The large public bath had plenty of space overall, though the tub felt somewhat shallow. It is an artificial Onsen, but personally I noticed a slight odor.The open-air bath was compact—probably full with two people—and there were also two small pot baths.For check-out, if there are no additional charges, you simply return your room key to a box. There are no procedures at all, so it was very smooth and stress-free.At one point I felt the Accommodation Fee had become quite high, but recently it seems to have returned closer to its previous price range.With excellent access from the station, I think this Hotel is very convenient as a base for sightseeing around Asakusa or for business.
