Tamayura Hotel Asakusa — Hotel in Tokyo

This was undoubtedly the worst hotel we stayed in during our trip in Japan. When we arrived, our luggage was kept in the lobby, which was already cramped with many other suitcases. They do not have a backroom to securely hold your luggage.

Don't be fooled by the photos-the rooms look nothing like them and are TINY, even by Japanese standards. There wasnt even a nightstand or table anywhere in the room for us to put our things. We were constantly stepping over our own luggage while moving about in the room. There was a giant greasy smudge on the mirror in the room, a cracked toilet lid, and a gross yellow dripping stain on the wall behind the bed.

There was two hangers off the bathroom door for us to hang our clothing, which was kind of ridiculous. Our room was right by the elevator and the rooms were not soundproof- I could hear the guests next door hocking loogies and every single car that passed on the street outside.

I would recommend bringing your own toiletries- the conditioner smell was very off-putting and honestly reminded me of urine.

The location is convenient and the front desk staff were nice, but I would steer clear of this hotel if you care about cleanliness...

As i have travelled with an elderly, i appreciate the ramp that they have in the lobby instead of stairs, so it was easy to move around. Room is japanese style, decent size as i still could open the big luggage and do the packing in the room without any barriers. If there is one thing I could comment on that the lighting is somehow a little too dimmed for my own preference. They serve simple light bfast, bread, preserves, coffee tea, could be brought into your room. They also provide the scale to weight your luggage before you check out.Location is in asakusa proximity, the great thing is we travelled via Tokyo Station and there is a bus that stops exactly at the opposite of the hotel (komagatabashi) so its very convenient to get around. Metro would be a little hassle to walk for elderly but that is fine....
