Hotel Kanzashi is a basic, clean option in Asakusa with the key advantage of being very close to Sensoji Temple. However, it’s quite far from the nearest train station, which becomes tiring—especially after a long day of walking around Tokyo. I agree with other reviews mentioning that the walk back to the hotel can feel like a chore after a full day out.
One thing that didn’t sit well with me personally was the standard check-in process. After going through the effort of finding the hotel, it was frustrating to be asked to fill out a form with information they already had from my booking. I understand this is common in Japan, but it felt redundant and unnecessary after a long journey.
Overall, the stay was fine—clean and quiet—but nothing particularly outstanding. If you’re mainly looking for proximity to Sensoji and don’t mind walking a bit more, it does the job.
