KOKO HOTEL Residence Asakusa Kappabashi

Booked last-minute. Super spacious and nicely-decorated room with all the amenities we needed. The best-equipped kitchen we’d experienced on our month-long trip to Japan. We had both a tatami mat area with a low table as well as a standard dining table. We wanted to be close to Kappabashi Street, which was great. But, what was even more great was how quiet our room was. Also the streets around the hotel seemed more like a Tokyo from some time ago, an older Tokyo, and we really liked the vibe. The room was very clean and we loved all the outlets where we could charge our devices. The staff was very nice. We were only there for one night. In the morning we realized we had a view of the Tokyo Sky Tree from our window.

We had a fantastic stay at KOKO HOTEL Residence Asakusa Kappabashi. The room felt more like a small apartment than a standard hotel, perfect for our family of three. It included a washer/dryer, induction plates, microwave, toaster oven, and kitchenware, plus separate toilet and bath/laundry room. Much more spacious and comfortable than other hotels in the same price range. The location was excellent, close to all the attractions, shopping, and restaurants in Asakusa. Sensoji Temple is just a few minutes away, and we walked to Tokyo Skytree in just 25 minutes. The area felt very safe and was extremely walkable, with Kappabashi Kitchen Town right around the corner. Ueno is also a 15 minute walk away, or a short cab ride. While the hotel doesn't serve breakfast, there’s a vending machine, free coffee and tea in the lobby, and plenty of nearby konbinis and supermarkets. Plus, there are lots of great breakfast spots within walking distance if you prefer to eat out. The staff were friendly and very service-minded. Highly recommended!

Coffee and amenities downstairs were great, but the location is just fantastic: right in the heart of Asakusa and amazingly quiet. Our room was quite large, enough to have a space to have dinner, watch TV, and spend quality time with a family of four. We could have cooked there as there was just enough utensils for this, but we really preferred enjoying the restaurants in the city (take out or dine in, and dining in was really made easy). We felt safe, two TVs, gigantic bathroom (to some extent it was almost too much, but no one complains about very large bathrooms and bath tubs), zero complaints. Easy to walk to Asakusa, its train stations, Iriya, etc. Really in the heart of Asakusa. 7-Elevens and Family Marts everywhere. Also, the staff was kind and really helpful.

Location was great--close to food, sights & shopping. Train was not too far of a walk (10-15 mins, depending on which line). The Superior Family Room w/ Tatami was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, 1 teen & 1 tween) with room to breathe. We had 2 beds & 2 futons. There was also a fold-out bed at the table that we opted not to use. Laundry, fridge/freezer & other kitchen appliances were convenient to have in the room. There was a code to use for both the elevator & the room. We skipped the elevator & just took the stairs. Area was fairly quiet and safe. We did a lot of walking during the trip, so we were able to make it to both Tokyo Skytree and Akihabara/Ueno by foot. We enjoyed our stay here and would come back!

Lovely apartment, good space for four people and luggage. Very clean and cleaned again after 3 days, if staying longer, as well as free rental of anything from hair curlers to baby buggies. Really friendly staff with a good level of English. Good, central location within Asakusa, easy walking distance to Senso-ji temple and 100s of shops, and arcades of restaurants. Easy access to 2-3 train lines and stations in addition to being on a side street and so not noisy, as well as easy for taxis to stop outside. When I return to Tokyo, I will be staying here again.
