Tora Hotel Asakusa - Hostel

Just for the night since my plane arrived late - liked the late check in…

I stayed for a week and its a awesome place to stay to explore Tokyo. Also their coffee is great if you want to take a seat at their cafe to get some work done :)

Nice clean hotel at Asakusa Location nearby many nice food shop and station link to many places of interest. Highly recommend for budget travelers. Cheers.

It is under new ownership and management. Name was changed but it is the previous Oak Hostel Fuji with the same beds and rooms. They renovated the kitchen lounge area. Looks nicer but the bed types are not comfortable to get in or out even if you had the lower bed. So, honestly it is overpriced as long as they have these painful beds. 5000 JPY will get you a private room at a hotel even around Tokyo. Or you can pay 1,000 JPY more to find a nice hotel around Asakusa or in Yokohama.

Had a great stay here, really loved the area. It’s quiet at night but you’re close to many things if you want a more lively vibe. Liked the cafe downstairs, lots of space to sit and work, and there’s a kitchen and laundry available to use. Seemed like the vibe was geared towards remote work/digital nomad type travelers, had good wifi. Not super social. Showers on the first floor but I didn’t mind. Felt like the bathrooms and showers could’ve been cleaner but they weren’t disgusting by any means, not enough that it should deter you from staying here. Shelf by the bed a bit dusty. Lockers are really big, that’s super nice, beds are a good size too. And my room had a balcony that overlooked the city, it let in such nice light. Felt really safe and comfortable here.

Convenient place to stay in the city, good location, nice interior, comfy ned
