Friendly staff, very helpful. The staff spoke very good english. Very clean rooms, shower rooms and public areas of the hotel. Fully functioning kitchen, great for travelling on a budget. About a 10 minute walk to the train station, 10 in the other direction for the main asakusa shopping district. Really enjoyed my stay, had no troubles at all. Be prepared for a little walking, although there are bus stops in the main road Also plenty of convenience store around which is handy. Area is safe, as a solo traveler i felt fairly comfortable walking home at night.
