Odd-numbered rooms look toward Tokyo and Mori Towers while even-numbered rooms have views of Shinjuku, Shibuya and on clear days, Mount Fuji (best to request a higher floor facing west for that).

Travel + Leisure

"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
