Rooms and views
Room sizes differ, so check the room category before booking, especially if you are travelling with several people or carrying a lot of luggage. Executive suites are described as spacious and suitable for families. Rooms include amenities such as toiletries, brushes, towels and pajamas.
Higher floors give you a better chance of looking across Asakusa and the Sumida River. Some rooms face Tokyo Skytree, and the view can be especially striking at sunrise or after dark. Confirm the direction of the room when reserving if the skyline is a priority; a Skytree-facing room may cost more. The hotel also has Japanese-style rooms with their own garden.
Musashi and the hotel lounge
Sky Grill Buffet Musashi occupies the 26th floor. Its buffet covers Japanese, Chinese and Western cooking, with more than 150 choices prepared in front of diners. The elevated dining room looks out over Tokyo, including Skytree and Senso-ji. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served, and reserving ahead is a practical choice if this meal is central to your stay.
Families with lounge access can use the executive lounge for complimentary drinks and snacks. One family account describes it as kid-friendly, with hot drinks, alcoholic drinks, pastries and snacks. Breakfast is also available there, though the main restaurant has a larger selection.
Getting around and planning your stay
The hotel is in Nishiasakusa, within walking distance of Senso-ji and local shopping. The Tsukuba Express station is directly connected to the hotel, and Tawaramachi Station on the Ginza Line is a short walk away.

The lobby has a staffed front desk and concierge, and the hotel provides luggage storage. Noon checkout gives you extra time on departure day. Some guests have encountered weak Wi-Fi, noisy air-conditioning or morning construction noise, so ask about current room conditions when booking and consider bringing a local SIM or another way to get online.
