VESSEL INN ASAKUSA TSUKUBA EXPRESS

Bathroom in the room Couldn't be reimbursed for extra breakfast ticket that didn't use. The bed was hard.The breakfast was ok. There was no additional amenities. The place is far from the Asakusa station (15 min walking).

So kindness staff ,with superb hospitality. And so good breakfast The room a little bit small but functional

All was good ?

My two friends and I had a great experience at Asakusa Tsukuba Express. We wanted the comfort of each being able to have our own room within the same hotel, without breaking the bank, and that’s exactly what we got! Our rooms were clean and comfy, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the hotel breakfast was the best we had during our two weeks in Japan! Highly recommend :) N/A

Nice location. Staff was wonderful! Amenities were great! Loved our stay! Hot breakfast items were a bit cold

Staff were extremely friendly, room was a nice size and on a high floor. The breakfast option was convenient as well as free washer and cheap dryer. Additionally, the staff provided extra pillows at no charge (I have been charged for requesting this at other hotels). The location of this hotel is very far from any transit stations. The closest station is 12 minute walk away, with others as far as 20 minutes away to get connected more quickly to other parts of Tokyo. This hotel is very close to Senso-ji, which is beautiful, but I would think twice before booking in this location unless you know you want to be in Asakusa. I would recommend staying in Ueno to be a bit more centrally located to transit, but in the same general area. The bed was extremely uncomfortable in the "Comfort" room. It was hard as a rock, and provided little give. The bathroom floor was also nearly 18 inches above the main floor. This meant constantly hitting my ankles/feet on the entrance, and having to balance to move from bathroom to bedroom. Additionally, the bathtub drain was not cleaned, so I had to clean it myself before using the tub. The breakfast option was convenient, but it was extremely busy. On the days where I didn't show up before 7:30am (breakfast was open 6:30am-9:00am or 9:30am), there was a wait for a table. Additionally, food was refilled less and less as breakfast went on, so there were days where I missed sections of the buffet due to not being earlier.

Staff, location. None

The size of the room was bigger than I was expecting. It was so clean and felt like a home. N/A

Location was good for many things around Asakusa. Small room, noisy road works, not enough storage space for convenience items.

Helpful staff, we were able to upgrade our room very easily. Location-wise I would recommend. Easily accessible and close to interesting spots, but still quiet enough to get the right amount of relax from the crowds. I highly recommend booking the bigger rooms. The standard ones are still very clean and cosy, but your leg area will be very limited and 4 suitcases (even 2 actually) will eat up ALL your living space. Traditional breakfast is certainly an experience, and yet I wish there were international options as well.

Rooms small…excellent breakfast & staff

I liked the location since its off a main street. The subways are a little far but not so bad. We were able to take the airport shuttle to asakusa view hotel and walked 5 minutes to Vessel Inn. They also offer lots of nice amenities on the first floor. Toothbrushes, hairburshes, hair ties, shampoo, conditioner, etc just about anything u might forget as far as toiletries. they also offer free drinks like apple juice and coffee and other goodies. it was also nice that they have a bathroom on the first floor open for anyone so u dont have to go all the way upstairs again. Lets start with the staff. While most of them were nice, some were not very helpful. I'll get more into detail below. They also failed to tell us there was a curfew from 1am to 6am where they lock the front door and we'd need a code to get back in. This happened the first night, one of us went out at 12am and came back about an hour later and the doors were locked. The manager and a few employees were at the front but would NOT let him back in, didn't even ask if he was a guest and provided no help. If it hadn't been for another friend letting him in, he would have spent all night there. The room was small which is typical for japan, but the bathroom was exaggeratedly small. The toilet seat was children sized which was not similar to anything else i experienced in japan, this was not my first time in japan so this was definitely not the norm. It was honestly so bad that i dreaded having to use the toilet because it was so small. The beds were hard as rock which wasn't nice after walking 10+ miles a day and coming back to. They also dont do room service until after you leave, but they keep bringing new towels every day, which is excessive. We could have probably asked them to chill out on the towels but most of the staff only speak japanese or very little english. While i wouldnt stay again and wouldnt recommend, I do appreciate this being our home for a week and was definitely part of the experience

The staff was very friendly and helped us with our luggage forwarding on the last day. The amenities that they had also came in handy when we forgot things. The bed was a little hard for our liking, but otherwise we loved everything.

The staff is nice and the breakfast was great, and so are the common rooms. The rooms are equipped with a phone charger, which is great if you don't have enough AC plug adapters.

Walkable distance to 浅草寺. - The male staff member at check-in was kinda rude, constantly laughing and joking with the female staff member next to him. This is very uncommon in Japan and showed a complete lack of professionalism. - far from subway station.

Spacious and clean Location far from subway

Very good
