Rough Guide "A ritzy affair... Some rooms have bathrooms with a glittering view of the city."
Lonely Planet "Sprawl out on the huge beds and drink deeply of the big views, because there’s room to breathe in these enormous rooms." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The hotel is set in Shibuya's tallest skyscraper, just west of Harajuku." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Shibuya’s only high-end luxury hotel boasts huge rooms, stylish interiors, kaiseki restaurants, bars, a jazz club, and Noh Theater."
Time Out "It may be outshone in the luxury market by the myriad new entrants, but the Cerulean is Shibuya’s lone top-end establishment." Full review

Staffers are equally out of touch, often forgetting special requests.
Fodor's "Perched on a slope above Shibuya's chaos, the Cerulean Tower has a cavernous yet bustling lobby filled with plenty of attentive, English-speaking staffers." Full review
Afar Magazine "Interiors mix Western and Japanese aesthetics. Simple, unfussy guest rooms have calming colors; some have unobstructed views of Mount Fuji in the distance." Full review

Rough Guide "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."
Frommer's "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
Lonely Planet "If you’re not into ryokan, the Asakusa View is the ritziest Western-style hotel around." Full review
Travel + Leisure "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
DK Eyewitness "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."
Time Out "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
Fodor's "Upscale Western-style accommodations are rare in Asakusa, so the Asakusa View pretty much has this end of the market to itself." Full review
OysterMid-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
