Rakuten STAY Tokyo Asakusa

It's a man-less hotel, even the concierge is just 3 tablets for self check in / out. Therefore I'm marking it 3/5 for service as service staff is literally non-existence lol 😂 The self check in requires a short video call via the tablet for the staff to perform some verification, but the staff did not speak English which made it an issue. He didn't explain clearly either and we were left on hold. Hotel room is super compact but for the price paid, I think it's worth it. There's a tiny wardrobe that fits only 4 hanging apparel 😂 The in-room fridge was practically not cold even though I made sure it was switched on. Suggestion to hotel: drill some hooks on the walls for hanging of jackets! The hotel has no common facility, usually we don't wash our clothes when we travel but when we wanted to, we realized there's no laundry machine. No microwave or oven either. Suggestion to hotel: have a common area for such amenities on level 1 since it's restricted access for hotel guests only anyway. Location is very convenient! Just a 5-10 minute walk from Honjo-Azumabashi station, Asakusa line, which is very convenient as this is also a direct line for the airport express train. Also, we saw many photo reviews of cute panda amenities but we were not given any. Probably because we booked the cheap room (low floor with no sky tower view) thus the differential treatment 😂😂 I personally didn't like that we were treated differently due to lower price paid

The price is reasonable for unmanned hotel. I’m not sure what happen for this keypad. It doesn’t work for my room. That means I have to use the key from this key box by using password to unlock it. Also, the automatic door lock doesn’t work. I have to use key for lock the room when I left every time. It’s very inconvenience when you carry many things and have to take off the cover under keypad for getting key in. Also, there is black stain on the bathroom’s curtain that make me feel this room is not clean enough.

Clean hotel near Asakusa. Book this about 2 months before our trip and got it at a great price. Seen several negative reviews...so was not sure if I have got the right choice 😉. Just need to be sure that the access code is received a day before your stay. Will require a bit of time to check in as there's no reception like a regular hotel. Once you are done, contact the customer service and room number will be given. Witnessed a few travellers facing problems checking in. Glad we had a smooth check in.

The room was great, more bigger than i expected. At least i can open baggage luggage at room. But reception is bit not easy for me

Stay away form this hotel. I face a problem since check-in to the hotel. No reception, just only Ipad and it running error so The ring was rang for many times and no staff comes to help you. The room smell not clean and we found many hairs on the bed and in the toilet. The stuffs in room also not clean, many dust on the table, Bed. You can’t leave the luggage at the hotel since they’re not have staff stand by there. We book for 3 nights but only 1 night we decide to change the hotel! The hotel staff are hardly to contact and they won’t refund money even you complaint or not stay in the hotel. Not recommended especially for traveller!!

The location was good, the area where the hotel was located was quiet and accessible to subway stations. Also within close proximity to the Tokyo Skytree. The only thing that we didn’t like was that the hotel did not provide housekeeping services for the 8 days we stayed there. Housekeeping must be requested and will not be provided automatically.
