HOTEL TAVINOS Asakusa

Excellent hotel, with a simple check-in and check-out process. Rooms are small, as is typical in Japan. There’s space to store suitcases under the bed. We had small suitcases; in my opinion, it would be difficult to manage with large ones. Suitable for a couple for one or two nights. The shower is spacious and there’s always hot water. Great value for the price.

This was a great hotel in a very nice area. Although the rooms are small we found them to be well equipped and comfortable. We especially liked that there was a common area where you could get coffee and tea for free and use it to have breakfast from a nearby convenience store. The area is very cute and full of restaurants and anything you need. We would stay here again!

Great location with plenty to see and do. Plenty of transport links to key areas you may want to visit. The self check-in was extremely impressive and a fab time-saver. The staff are fantastic - so warm, friendly, helpful, and fun. The manga themed hotel has neon lights and a strong identity. Very contemporary aesthetic and fun to be in after a long day out. The air-con was a godsend in high heat. The walk-in shower was hot and powerful. The charging points and good quality hairdryer were very useful. The shared area is spacious and airy with some free drinks and pastries. There are manga books to read for free (Japanese text). There is a free luggage area with a huge amount of luggage stations. There is also a small inexpensive laundry (free detergent!) and a vending machine for drinks. The bed was comfortable and the cleaning staff were really friendly and great at their job. What a fantastic place. Thanks so much!

I had an amazing room on the 10th floor with a perfect view of the Tokyo tower which mesmerised me each night as I watched from my window. The hotel is located right above a Lawson's which sells the best fried chicken you can find for an early morning breakfast which you can eat in the hotel lobby which has lots of seating just for this reason. They have 4 cheap coin laundry and dryer machines which get the job done. You can see the status of the dryers from your TV in your room so you don't need to make the journey with all your clothes if they're all in use. There's a machine in the laundry room which can break down 1000 yen notes, and you can break higher value notes into 1000s at the front desk.

Location's a little far from the train stations, but the route is on main streets so it's easy to negotiate. Also, we liked the sushi place right across the street. Great fish, friendly chef who likes to practice his English and appreciates it if you practice your Japanese. (When we went, 5/2025, he was offering a 10% discount if you were staying at Hotel Tavinos.) The hotel also offers some helpful info about Tokyo, including how to travel to Narita from Asakusa station for cheap on public transportation (you need to scope it out carefully to figure out which is the right train, but if you do it right, it's cheap and easy, and we were very appreciative of the information).
