Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
My second time in this hotel and it keeps exceeding my expectations. Staff is really friendly and helpful and speak perfect English. And they go beyond the extra mile to impress. Lady, I wish I had gotten your name, I tried, but my sight is not good and I couldn’t read your name in the tag. All I know is she speaks Spanish.
I had a late flight and left my luggage in the hotel for a few hours. I asked how to get to Narita, expecting a brief explanation, and she started explaining every detail and I said I would get the maps later on. She left a note in the luggage with the maps. It was very thoughtful of her.
Like every hotel and hostel in Japan, rooms come with an assortment of amenities like shampoo (not that little sample thing), fabric refresher spray, etc. Products were all of good quality (body soap does not leave hands dry).
Location is really good and Asakusa is one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Tokyo. Bed is very comfortable, and towels are fluffy. Room has plenty space, including the bathroom - which is a rare thing in Tokyo.
I just don’t understand how come my non-smoking room costs more than a smoking room.

Stayed in this hotel last January 2020. The most commendable thing for me in this hotel is the location: around 5 minutes walking distance to Sensoji Temple, numerous places to eat nearby, and the best of all, barely a stone's throw away from Don Quijote Asakusa! The Ginza line is roughly 10-minute walk to the hotel, and there is a closer train station though not as used as the Tokyo Metro.
The rooms are relatively ok as far as rooms in Tokyo go, and staff is very courteous, polite and helpful. We had the hotel breakfast, and these are good too: I especially love the morning curry, which became my addiction for the remainder of our stay. Breakfast is a mix of Japanese and continental and they change it enough so that it's still nice even if you eat there for a few consecutive days.
All in all great place to stay, awesome staff, good food and superb location! Will definitely book again

Richmond hotel is in a great location with lots of activities surrounding us. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the laundrette as an added bonus for us. The rooms are clean and tidy. The bathroom could do with a a little freshening up and wish we had a safe in our room but would definitely recommend the hotel for people looking for easy access with a bit of culture. Great location during New Years as all the surrounding shops were still open due to the temple unlike other locations in Tokyo.

Usually stay at Richmond Premier next door but as it was fully booked decided to try the Richmond since it has also gotten good reviews. Unfortunatly there were some problems.
The first thing we noticed was how stuffy and humid the room was. In summer sure, but in the middle of winter? At first we tried the aircon, opened the window, but the stuffiness and humidity would not go away. It was almost hard to breathe and i was getting a headache. The windows were constantly fogging up and dripping with condensation.
So we went down to reception to ask about it and i will say that they had a good and helpful attitude, however their only suggestion in the end was to go up and wipe down the windows with a towel. 2 min later they of course fog up again because the problem is with the air/ventilation in the room. The toilet also had a smell like cigarettes.
There were some other minor lacklustre things and i was surprised because Richmond Premier has the best and most professional staff. Anyway we won't be returning to Richmond Asakusa.

Booked in part due to the free mobile wifi device they advertise on their website. Gutted to find out that this is no longer true in 2022. Nobody on reception knew anything about it and said they have never given them out. Breakfast is a sad affair.
Four choices only with the buffet being Japanese style food. No bakery goods, cereals or fruit. Also said my check out is 11 when i paid extra for a 12 check out.
If it weren't for a cheap rate (£40 per night) I would have cancelled after the first night and gone elsewhere.
The room itself is almost fine though. My first night I found so many hairs everywhere. It seemed that the carpet had not been cleaned well enough and thwy travelled onto my clothes and socks. Bed is ok, pillows aren't great. Fridge is useful. Lots of power sockets. Bathroom is a weird modular room but no other problems. The amount of little amenities they provide is excellent. Ear buds, flannel, tooth brush, toothpaste, razor etc... You can ask for bath salts and other things at reception too.

As the name suggests the hotel is in Asaksa, with many shops and transport options within easy walking distance. Similarly the Sensō-ji temple is around the corner. It can get a little busy, but not to the same levels as places such as Shinjuku and Shibuya. A nice place to ease yourself in to Japan if this is your first trip, as it was for me.
I was in room 702 which had a view of the Tokyo Skytree. The room (a Precious Single) was quite small from a Western point of view but in line with other Japanese hotel rooms I was in on this trip. The bed was comfortable, there was a small amount of storage space (via some drawers and hangars), a handy fridge, dehumidifier, a fairly well fitted out bathroom (I liked the non-fogging mirror) and aircon.
The TV was in a bit of a strange position, but given the room layout it was the only option. But as it’s a smart TV then you can use the apps on there or Chomecast from your device. The hotel WiFi worked fine. My only real problem with the room was that it didn’t have a safe.
As a nice touch there was a free bottle of water in the room each day. In line with Japanese hotels there was soap/shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom and various free other toiletries and bits and bobs in the lobby.
The staff were pleasant and friendly, it was a bit hit or miss as to if they spoke much English or not, but I managed to get by with a little Japanese and Google Translate and no problems with leaving my suitcase before check in for example. My booking had breakfast included, which was in the restaurant on the ground floor. It was buffet style with typical Western options (cereal, cooked, pastries, etc) and more Japanese fare. I was always suitably fuelled for my days of exploring Tokyo.
Overall I greatly enjoyed staying here and would happily do so again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Richmond Hotel! My husband and I stayed here for a week and don't have any complaints. The rooms are definitely a little bit dated and there were some items that had visible wear and tear, but overall it was a very comfortable/clean accommodation. Check in/out was a breeze and we appreciated that we could schedule whether we wanted housekeeping or not each night through the TV in our room. Any staff that we encountered were very kind and I loved the free amenities that you can grab from a stand near the elevators. Each night I would pick up my coffee and bath salts before heading up to the room and it was lovely.
As far as the area, we couldn't recommend staying in Asakusa enough! It was such a fun and charming area. Being so close to Senso-ji Shrine and all the little shopping booths nearby was awesome. Each night we would walk along the streets and do a little shopping/snacking. Even though it's still city vibes, this area felt a little more cozy and small town, in a way.

This hotel was great, friendly staff, clean, and in a great location. Was easy to walk everywhere we needed. Great price too ! Very close to main attractions and transportation the temple is literally a 5 minute walk away and all the Izakaya are across the road.

The location is very convenient because of its proximity to major tourist attractions (Sensoji Temple, Nakamise Street, Kamiranimon), train stations (Ginza & Asakusa Lines), restaurants, and shopping centers (Don Quixote, ROX). Hotel service was also very good. Our room was cleaned; towels and pajamas replaced; and water bottles were replenished everyday. Check in and check out were smooth, and the hotel was very responsive to emails/queries. Generally a very good experience for our family @ Richmond Asakusa!

It’s a very expensive budget hotel that’s really far from anywhere interesting. Paid about 150K yen for 6 nights. The staff were rude, linen dirty. Our bed linen had a huge brown spot in the middle which they took 5 nights to change.
The laundry machine is old and dirty. Wasn’t able to dry our clothes properly even after drowning ~1100 yen on this. Complaints were met with rude responses. Had to go to a hostel nearby to get this sorted.
Breakfast was playing but again the staff start to take things back at 9:40ish so unless you’re an early riser you might be missing this.

When we stayed check in started at 3 and there was someone around all night. The automatic doors do lock at midnight however the desk is staffed and there is a buzzer for someone to let you in if you don't have your keycard (which you won't have yet). Hope this helps 😊
