“In my opinion, this property struggles with fundamental cleanliness and comfort, which overshadows any potential positives, like staff friendliness. The reports of pest issues and lack of air conditioning, especially in peak summer, raise serious concerns. For travelers seeking a reliable and hygienic base in Asakusa, I'd suggest exploring other options.”
