    I wish they had a pool!

    Excellent location, central to many attractions and restaurants in Asakusa but also felt quiet and tucked away compared to the bustle of Shibuya

    The Gate Hotel was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. It felt like a small, boutique hotel, with excellent service and a quiet, mellow atmosphere. The location was perfect for us, a quick train ride with access to many restaurants and tourist sites. The view from the check in and terrace was amazing. The Sky tree was in full view and you could see Mt. Fuji on a clear day. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Breakfast was amazing with excellent service, fantastic food choices and a beautiful view. I couldn't ask for a better place to stay in Asakusa!

    Good value, great location!

    Some things perhaps felt a little dated, furniture just looking a bit used and not fully aligned on hinges for example, but nothing that took away from our stay. It would be nice if there were a few more features like an onsen or gym facility but the hotel also has a pretty good value for Tokyo prices so that isn't too surprising.

    Great size room, great view from our room and fabulous location in Asakusa. We loved our stay and the general neighborhood. I really liked the layout of the room as well, plenty of space and the orientation made it easier for us with a little one, to put her to bed and still be able to use the sitting area and a small lamp around the corner. Again, we also loved the view and watching the skytower and temple area at night.

    A minor thing - we paid extra for a deluxe room on a high floor. This meant we were under the restaurant and could hear chairs and tables being dragged around in the evening as staff prepared for next morning. Like I say, minor complaint, but if you’re travelling with kids in bed early, worth knowing.

    Great location. Fantastic views from breakfast room and roof terrace.

    We were informed via letter the day before checkout that the hotel was closing for electrical maintenance for 24 hours. This did cause a little stress in finding out if our luggage could be stored during the day. However the staff were terrific and assisted us with storage of our luggage and everthing went smoothly.

    As we stayed 5 nights, we were very impressed with the size of the room. We booked a room with sitting area and a bar. It was great. The ensuite had a vanity area and walked through to shower room with a Japanese bath that had a view of the Tokyo Sky Tower. Separate toilet room. Water pressure was great. The bed was comfortable and the room had adjustable heating and cooling. We had daily service of the room. Very impressed overall. Breakfast was great with three hot meals to choose from and a small buffet selection. Fresh OJ was a nice treat. There was a bar and viewing deck upstairs with a great view of the city. Location was also superb. For Culture and shopping. There is a supermarket downstairs and many restaurants within close vicinity. Staff were also lovely.

    We were a bit lost at first to find out reception was on Lvl13. Took us a while to figure it out. We didn't like how small our room was and was not the same as the pictures shown on Bookings.com

    We loved how the accommodation was within walking distance to the Senjoji Temple and train station. We loved how there was a Super market just outside the hotel doors. We loved how there is an observation deck on top of the building (lvl 14) and was able to take pictures of the SkyTree Tower.

    the room is a little bit small since we barely have space to open the two suitcases. I want to suggest that you can put more information and picture on the google map, because a lot of travelers from abroad use google map to see the info of the hotel, if more picture are shown will be more attractive for us.

    everything is very good, the night view from the balcony is marvelous.

    First time I stayed in Asakusa, and what a location and hotel!!!!! Arrived to beautiful entrance to the hotel, and the lobby showed Asakusa at it's finest (looking out towards Sensoji Temple). All the staff were wonderful!!! The staff in the restaurant were fantastic, remembering my father and I each morning. Oh and the breakfast options were fabulous (as was the dining options in the evening when we decided to eat there). Close to the train station and tourist attractions. I would love to travel back to Japan and stay here again.
