The place was very clean and stylish. The location was pretty convenient in terms of access to subways. It takes about 30min to Shinjuku or Shibuya. You can walk to Asakusa along the river which was very nice. Also the breakfast was very tasty. They only had western style breakfast plus little buffet. There is always one kind of pasta and one kind of soup which was so yummy, at some point i didnt even order the breakfast dish they offer and just went for the buffet. I had a great time here. Everyone was very professional, nice and helpful.

Staff and hotel are lovely. We really did not appreciate how good we had it here before touring the rest of Japan. This has been the only liveable sized room we stayed in, it has definitely outshined it’s competitors.

Very modern hotel near Ryogoku station, only within few mins walk. Hotel is next to the river, it should be a very lovely area to walk around if the weather was more cooler! The twin room is very spacious, clean. We only stayed for 1 night and didn’t have time to explore the nearby museum and stadium.

Noisy, but good for sumo fans..
The Sumida river view was constantly bombarded by train and street traffic. View was ok, but noise of the subway was very noticeable. The laundry service was nonexistent, especially on the weekend. Had to go to laundromat 20 minutes away, and no supplies. The plus side was easy access to watch some sumo matches during some tournament being held that Sunday.

The hotel was in an excellent location. 5 minute walk from station which took you anywhere you needed to go. Local shops were also minutes walk away which was very handy. The hotel itself is beautiful. Our room was stunning looking over the river, decor and cleanliness were fantastic. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again.

The location is great. It is close to the train station and lots of restaurants around the hotel. The hotel is located by the river. The scenery is great, but my room was faced to the highway. It was noisy, especially after midnight. There were lots of trucks passing and I had a hard time to go to sleep.
