The APA Hotel Asakusa Kuramae hotel is set on a busy commercial street close to the Sumida River. An on-site bath house and a chic restaurant are the standout features of this sleek, high-rise hotel. Minimalist accommodations with plain decor feature flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges and tea/coffee making facilities. Some quarters afford river views. The hotel bath house is a traditional (i.e. communal) affair with a hot tub and an open-air bath. Other amenities include free Wi-Fi and a coin-operated laundry. Massages and parking can be arranged for a fee. A breakfast buffet is served in the stylish Gin Yuba Restaurant (replete with coloured parasols). Vending machines are also available. A selection of restaurants, cafes, convenience stores and bars are located close by. The APA Hotel Asakusa Kuramae hotel is a three-minute walk from Kuramae metro station and a 15-minute stroll from the revered Sens?-ji Buddhist temple. The iconic Tokyo Sky Tree Tower is just over a mile away.
The fact that this hotel is less than ten minutes' walk from two metro stations (Kuramae and JR Asakusa) ensures it makes a very agreeable place to base yourself. Having the lively Nakamise Shopping Street and evocative Sensō-ji temple (the oldest in Tokyo) just up the road is pretty sweet too.
The traditional onsen (communal bath house) housed on the top-floor of the hotel is a real treat as, in addition to having the ability to literally soak up some Japanese culture whenever you like, you can enjoy some glorious views of the Sumida River and the Sky Tree Tower beyond. Night time vistas are pretty special, especially when you have the place to yourself.
If you’re a stickler for cleanliness then you’ll love staying here; everywhere - accommodations included - is absolutely spotless.
There’s no getting away from the fact that, like so many other three-star properties in Tokyo, the guest rooms in this hotel are very short on space. If you’re travelling with lots of luggage then you may want to look elsewhere...
It has to be said that, by metropolitan Tokyo standards, the Wi-Fi here is very sluggish indeed at times. Something to bear in mind if you’re visiting for work reasons and/or need to be online for long periods.
Numerous visitors have complained about the extremely flat pillows used in the guest rooms. Do yourself a favour and bring an inflatable one with you!
