My stay at The Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon was good. The location was perfect for sightseeing, right across from Senso-ji and close to the Tokyo Skytree. The hotel lobby offered stunning views, but there were minor issues with room maintenance that I noticed. Overall, it provided an excellent base for exploring Tokyo.

My stay at The Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon was generally fantastic, highlighted by the helpful staff and great views from the rooftop. However, I did experience some issues with food service in the restaurant that were disappointing. Overall, the convenient location and modern amenities made my trip nice.

I found my room compact yet functional, with all necessary amenities. The view from my 9th-floor room was decent, but I hear the higher floors offer even better scenery (next time, I'll aim for a higher floor!).

The location of the hotel is superb, located right in the atmospheric Asakusa area, close to temples and shops. Plus, the metro was just down the road, making it easy to explore Tokyo.

While breakfast had a great look with lots of options, my experience with the restaurant's food service was subpar. Dishes arrived cold and not timed well, which was disappointing given the beautiful dining area.

The hotel features modern conveniences and a lovely rooftop terrace for drinks with amazing views. However, the tight space in the room made storage tricky during my stay.

My stay at The Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon was fantastic overall, with excellent service and a great location near Sensoji temple. The room was a bit small, but comfortable, and the breakfast had plenty of options. However, the lack of a view from my room was a letdown for the price I paid, and I did have some issues with room cleanliness.

Rooms

8.0

The room was small by American standards, which made it a bit challenging with more than one suitcase. However, it was pretty comfortable with a spacious bathroom and great amenities like a Nespresso machine. I recommend opting for a larger room if you have more luggage.

Service

The staff was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond. They helped me with some coffee and pastries before breakfast hours and even sent someone to get earplugs for me at 1:30 AM when I misplaced mine. Truly amazing service!

Breakfast was a buffet with a variety of options, but I found it a bit pricey for what it offered. It’s best to allow extra time if you plan to go early, as there could be a wait.

Although the hotel didn’t have coin laundry facilities, there was a laundromat nearby within a five-minute walk, which was helpful. Other facilities like housekeeping were efficient and well-maintained.

I had a really great time at The Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon! The location is perfect, being just a short walk from the Senso-ji Temple, and I loved the views from the rooftop. While I appreciated the quiet and relaxed atmosphere of the hotel, the breakfast could use a bit more variety, and my room had a view of a wall, which was a bit disappointing given the price. Overall, I would definitely stay here again for the convenience and nice service.

The breakfast offered a good variety of options, though it was a bit pricey if not included in the room rate. I just wish there were more fruit choices on the menu.

The hotel has great views from the rooftop and lobby, and the overall ambiance is quite relaxing. However, there could be improvements in the breakfast buffet variety.

My stay at The Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon was quite pleasant, though not without its drawbacks. The location in Asakusa is perfect for immersing yourself in traditional Japan, with Senso-ji Temple just a stone's throw away. However, the room, while comfortable, felt a bit small and dark for my liking. I did enjoy friendly service and delicious breakfasts, although the limited variety left me wanting more.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in was clean and suitable, but quite small and somewhat dark, which affected the overall atmosphere. The bed was on the firmer side, but I still managed to get a decent night's sleep.

Service

I found the staff to be generally friendly and welcoming, although some struggled with English, which made communication a bit tricky at times.

Location

The hotel is ideally situated in a vibrant area with easy access to restaurants and shops. Plus, being right by the metro made getting around a breeze, despite a bit of a walk with luggage in the heat.

Dining

Breakfast was included in my stay and offered a decent selection of tasty options, especially the freshly squeezed orange juice, although the choices felt somewhat limited.

Facilities

While the hotel provided basic amenities like housekeeping, I was disappointed to learn there was no on-site coin laundry, but a nearby shop made up for it.
