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
