Pros:
- very clean. Shoe free-zone inside the hotel and there's a locker for your shoes. House keepers clean your room everyday and provide you with fresh towels.
- close to Sensoji, so the neighborhood is very pretty and old-timey
- tatami mats - very nice to experience it all thru out the hotel interior and in my room
- felt safe as a solo female traveler
- very nice staff
- quiet - couldn't hear my neighbors at all and certainly don't hear all the screams from the amusement park right next door
- free coffee station for everyone every morning (note there's Fuglen coffee shop is a block away and opens at 7am with v good coffee)
- umbrellas provided to borrow
- a minute walk to conbini (but that's prob true for most hotels in Tokyo)
Cons:
- small room (but this is Tokyo so kinda expected it)
- room faces the alleyway so not a nice view but I did get a discount on the single room and was barely home anyway
- slower wifi. If you need hotel wifi for work, I would reconsider. (I got really good eSim so it wasn't catastrophic for me)
Considerations:
- longer walk to the two closest train lines (Ginza and Asakusa lines) so beware of this when you book, esp if this is your first time. 12-15 minutes walk is long when you carry around souvenirs. I knew this going in and was fine with it for the most part.
- breakfasts not included and is an additional fee per day. I personally liked it. Very simple favor profile, basic fare, very Japanese. But not much variety from day to day. You can get extra servings. I'm glad I got it for convenience's sake but I wish I didn't get it for everyday I was there.
- If you have small tatts, get waterproof bandaids to cover it up. If you have large ones, you cannot go into the onsen and therefore this might not be the hotel for you.
