Henn na Hotel Premier Tokyo Asakusa Tawaramachi

This was my first stay here while sightseeing with friends. The ninjas, samurai, butlers, etc. projected at the front desk react during the check-in process, which is fun, but otherwise it’s a perfectly normal Hotel and not as “weird” as it sounds. Since it’s a new Hotel, the Room was clean, the linens were fresh, and the amenities were more than sufficient—in fact, some items like toothbrushes were better than at the official USJ partner Hotel we stayed at in Osaka the day before. It was a very solid Hotel overall. Being able to see the Skytree illumination from the rooftop terrace is a plus, and having a FamilyMart on the first floor made it convenient to quickly buy drinks and other items. Unmanned check-in/out was easy and convenient, and although I expected it to be completely unmanned, staff came by regularly to properly assist foreign guests and travelers who weren’t familiar with the process, which left a good impression. Breakfast felt pricey (2,200 yen if purchased on the day), so we didn’t use it. If you come expecting lots of “quirkiness,” you might feel underwhelmed outside of the front desk area—but as an affordable and clean Accommodation considering its location and facilities, I have no complaints. I’d like to stay again if I have another chance.

It was my first stay. I chose the Panda Room, thinking my daughter would love it. It's compact but clean, close to the station and near Kaminarimon, making the location excellent. Having a convenience store inside the Hotel is also a plus!
