HOTEL PLUS HOSTEL TOKYO ASAKUSA 2, Tokyo

The hotel sits in the heart of Asakusa, 2 minutes from Hozomon Gate and the Sensoji Temple complex. Asakusa Station on the Ginza Line is a 5-minute walk, the Tobu Line is 2 minutes away, and the Toei Asakusa Line is an 8-minute stroll - giving direct connections to Narita and Haneda airports. Sumida Riverside Hall and Tokyo Skytree are within walking distance. The neighbourhood is busy with shops and restaurants, making it convenient for sightseeing, but the location also means the surrounding streets can be lively at night.

The hotel offers double rooms with one double bed, and family rooms with six single beds, each in a private room with a bathroom that includes a bath and shower. Rooms are air-conditioned and heated, and upper floors are reachable by lift. Private rooms have a private toilet and bathtub. Dormitory floors are mixed gender with 26 beds per level, including capsule-style lower bunks and open-top upper bunks. Storage is available on each floor but only small lockers for items like a wallet or phone are provided. Laundry bins and luggage are often visible on corridors, so expecting a tidy lobby area may not be realistic.

The hotel does not have its own breakfast service. If you book a rate with breakfast, you receive a voucher for a café (often an American-style restaurant) located a few minutes on foot, serving a basic set meal. For more variety, there are convenience stores (FamilyMart, Lawson, 7-Eleven) and numerous restaurants within a few hundred meters, including Asakusa Kagetsudo and several local eateries. The shared lounge on the second floor has a microwave, toaster, and water heater, so preparing quick meals from a convenience store is possible.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building and is fast and reliable. Luggage can be stored before check-in (from morning) and after check-out, but the storage area is in the open lobby without a secure lock or staff supervision. There are coin-operated washing machines and dryers (400 yen per wash). The shared lounge on the second floor has a microwave, toaster, and water heater. No daily room cleaning is offered; guests must request it by a morning deadline. The building has a lift and is air-conditioned. Accepted payment methods include major credit cards. Pets are not allowed, and the entire property is non-smoking. Gowns and towels can be rented at reception.
