I booked this hotel to try something new in a new area for a night last month.  As with new unknown hotels, there's always a risk, but was looking forward to try it out.  Plans changed and I thought I had cancelled it online, but for some mistake, it wasn't properly cancelled.  I later found out they charged me the full 90,000 JPY and told me to go take a hike.  I get that it was my mistake and they have their policy, but these things can happen with online bookings.  They never sent one single email to anticipate the check in or call me to ask if I'm going to show up or not.  Nothing but a silent charge to my credit card.  The least they could have done was to give me a credit for my to stay another time.  Their response since then has been horrible customer service.  They're not looking to build much of a reputation as a newcomer looking to cater to the foreign travelers!  With inflexibility like that, they won't succeed.  Beware!

Charged me 90,000 for a booking mistake without saying a word

Magnificent ryokan very well placed, an excellent welcome and a Japanese breakfast beyond our desires the room was superb we had chosen with futon and slept perfectly well calm and serene that's what sums up the place

It's a great ryokan.

Gorgeous rooms in the perfect location. A small place, with probably just 15 rooms or so, but the rooms are spectacular.

I'd avoid the breakfast if you have Western tastes. None of the four of us liked it, though I'm sure Japanese people would have eaten it happily. We like a lot of Japanese dishes, but not the stuff they eat for breakfast.

Very little English spoken, but Google Translate helps a lot.  

A very nice stay, overall.

Worth the money

The position is just one of a kind of this ryokan.
I stayed here for three night , upon check in they gave me a room not overlooking the temple. Staff was super attentive and kind and after one night they changed me to a bigger room overlooking the temple. Hotel is very clean and staff is extra gentle .
Be predated to sleep on the tatami , some like some don’t , it’s a matter of choice.
Congratulation keep up the good work 

Super location and extremely friendly staff 

Perfect hotel in an awesome location while visiting Tokyo.  There are lots of things in walking distance; tourist spots, shops, restaurants, a supermarket, convenience stores, local atmosphere...etc.  Even, you have a Starbucks on the first floor of the same building!
The staff are great.  Also, the rooms are wonderfully decorated and everything is brand new.  Please try their Japanese breakfast.  That was so wonderful. 
Don't be confused by their old photos which sometimes are on some booking sites. 
雷門のすぐ横！新築の素晴らしいホテルです。
何もかもが新しく、またセンスのいい館内で快適に過ごせます。スタッフさんもとても親切でした。４人で泊まったので和洋室を利用しましたが、ヒノキのお風呂も大変気持ちよかったです。夕食の提供はありませんが周辺に多くの飲食店があるので食べ歩きも楽しいですし、スーパーやコンビニもすぐです。
予約サイトによっては以前の建物の写真が掲載されていることがあるようですので混同されませぬよう。

Great new hotel in Asakusa

The best hotel to stay at if you are looking for a Japanese style hotel, great hospitality and amazing Japanese food. Everything about this hotel is perfect. It is walking distance to the station and the Kaminarimon gate is right next door! The quality of the interior design as well of the structure of the rooms are incredible. A modern Japanese style hotel. There is nothing like it in Tokyo. Honestly, one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at.  Also, Starbucks is on the first floor. Who can argue with that?!

Highly Recommend!!

Very friendly, friendly and attentive staff, accommodation in good condition and very clean. The only shortcoming is the lock and the fixed shower times, limited to morning and evening. Would I choose the Japanese style for a hotel again? Probably not. With a week later, I still lacked a proper bed, a proper mattress. But this is subjectively considered and is not related to the accommodation. You are not doing anything wrong if you spend a few days here for your stay in Tokyo.

Traditionally

My friend and I stayed  in the Ryokan style hotel. It's pretty basic ryokan style but it is clean,quiet and comfy. The hotel is situated in the heart of Asakusa and  close to the Asakusa station. With the hotel's location and price, I found the room's size is sufficient (there were 2 adults and one child). The staff were nice, helpful. Great service. For sure, I will be back if I have a chance.

A very recommended place to stay

Fantastic location. Very close to the subway and the lines that take you to and from the airport. And you'll be taken in many photos of tourists. But you won't fit in the room, you won't even be able to sit. Through the windows you'll be entered by a cold death and all the noises of the world. The bathrooms, an insult to an establishment that self-classifies as Riokan. Although not significant, in 22 days in Japan, the only hotel in which the tap of the water was not automatic...A shell, go. And all this for 16,800 yen.

Not everything is worth it.

I stayed for a few days in this hotel in the beautiful district of Asakusa. Position: Very comfortable from the subway station and overlooking directly on the Kaminarimon. At night the area is very quiet (if you are looking for the movida you should choose another neighborhood) Staff: all very courteous and available at any time, as the reception closes at 24:00. Room: I booked a private room, all bright, very clean and tidy every day, moisturized view on the Kaminarimon, I would have liked a bit more efficient dark curtains but I never had any significant sleep problems. Hotel highly recommended to those who love peace and family atmosphere
