Asakusa Kaede

Rating: 6/10 Acceptable 5-day accommodation in Asakusa, Tokyo. Spacious (as of Tokyo standard) and clean room at a convenient location. Good to have blackout curtains and instant water heater in the room. The staff are also friendly and helpful. However, beds and pillows were uncomfortable. The staff gave us extra pillows but it didn’t really help. It also took us 2 days to figure out how to turn off the auto-reset function for the air con (it automatically drops to 20 degrees at night which is quite cold). Please understand a good sleep is the most important thing during a hotel stay - that’s why I would rate it a 6/10. Furthermore, there is no housekeeping staff so we must go downstairs to get additional amenities (e.g. toothbrush). They seem to hire part time cleaning staff and one was so careless that they only gave us 2 sets of towels for a 3-person room on one of the nights. I would say it’s overrated given its price (¥130000 for 5 nights, deluxe room, on Trip.com).
