Top choice
"About 2km north of Asakusa in the Sanya area, the minimalist and modern Andon Ryokan is fabulously designed in form and function." Full review
"Enjoy the free tea and coffee here while taking in the compact design of this ultramodern ryokan."
"It bills itself as ‘Tokyo's first designer ryokan’, but you'd probably do better to think of Andon as a high-end backpacker hostel." Full review
Budget
"Andon Ryokan is a very basic but clean budget hotel that's popular with young travelers and is conveniently located within walking distance of the subway." Full review
"An updated version of a traditional ryokan, this is a small inn with only 24 rooms--all filled with antiques hand-selected by the owner." Full review

"Asakusa's grandest hotel... the rooms are less memorable than the public areas. but are reasonably spacious and boast great views from the higher floors."
"It's a good place to stay if you want to be in Tokyo's old downtown but don't want to sacrifice any creature comforts." Full review
"If you’re not into ryokan, the Asakusa View is the ritziest Western-style hotel around." Full review
"Overlooking one of Tokyo's most famous shrines, the Asakusa View is a classic downtown Tokyo hotel, complete with an impressive marble lobby and crystal chandeliers." Full review
"As the name suggests, the views of neighboring rooftops and nearby Senso-ji Temple from the comfortable Japanese-style rooms are of an older Tokyo."
"With its uniformed staff and marble lobby somewhat incongruent with this downtown, working-class neighbourhood, the Asakusa View boasts a fairly high standard of accommodation." Full review
"Upscale Western-style accommodations are rare in Asakusa, so the Asakusa View pretty much has this end of the market to itself." Full review
Mid-Range
"It's hard to beat the Asakusa View Hotel's great panoramas of such Tokyo landmarks as the Skytree and Senso-ji Temple -- even distant Mount Fuji on a good day." Full review
