Glamping Tokyo Asakusa

The staff were friendly, Asakusa itself is nice, and the facilities looked good and were relatively clean. The shower pressure was fine and there was plenty of space for luggage. The closest train station was a 10‑minute walk, which was okay but not ideal. The nearest airport station was a 24‑minute walk, and we had to haul our stuff in the rain from there. The room was even smaller than we expected. The beds were extremely hard, which I didn’t mind, but they were too hard. The pillows were extremely thin, and when we asked for more they didn’t have any. The curtain wasn’t blackout and the window was large, which is nice during the day but not great at night. Both issues meant we slept terribly the whole time. The towel was small, and when we asked to exchange it midway through a six‑night stay, we were told to pay. Overall, we paid a lot for a cheap stay – there was no kitchen or plates, you had to ask the café. Everything was either limited or paid for (and we didn’t pay for a dorm or anything!). We were given one key for both people, no extra keys. We constantly had to wait for each other. The door auto‑locks, so we had to pass the key back and forth, which was extremely annoying. We had to fight for a spot in the morning because the café was small and open to the public. Only two laundry machines were available, and when we used them the dryer was broken, so we had to go elsewhere to dry our clothes (after we paid, we didn’t know this beforehand). The walls were thin – you could hear everyone, and everyone could hear you.

“MY MONEY WAS STOLEN IN THIS PLACE”

My 200 € were stolen from the safe in my room, which was inside a locker with a passcode. I’ve been traveling in Asia for four months and this was the first time it happened. This was my first two‑night stay in Tokyo, and I felt safe because it’s Japan and there are three locks: the room door, the locker passcode, and the safe key. In the morning I asked how to use the safe, but the digital code wasn’t working, so they gave me a key. I left my plastic bag with all my money in the room until night. I wouldn’t have known if some money was missing unless I had written the amount on a small piece of paper in the bag. After I saw that someone had changed how I put my bag, I checked the amount and went to talk with the reception. They said it wasn’t someone staying in our room, and I don’t think anyone could lock‑pick those two doors. The receptionist lady told me it was also impossible for a hotel worker to do it because they have keys for the room and locker but not spare keys for the safes. Then she opened the drawer to show me, and there it was a bag of extra keys for each safe. When I asked to see the security camera footage of the second floor, she said they have no cameras except the reception because it’s a new place. At that time a roommate heard us talking, and he said someone obviously searched his bed and the area while he was away because things weren’t the same as when he left them. In the end, they did nothing except say they would let me know if they found it somewhere. So I lost it in the room or something. The manager advised me not to carry cash. Long story short, it was not a safe place to stay.

All the facilities are available, the staff are very kind, and it’s not far from the temple and Dongeum. Walking from the subway is quite far, so if you have a lot of stuff it might be better to take a bus.

“コスパ良し”

The spot was great and the room was spacious, but it would have been nice to have slippers.

The staff were kind and helpful, rooms and facilities were clean, and the place was close to everything; they even let us store luggage for a couple of weeks at a very good price. The only downside was that there were only two laundry machines, which caused friction among guests who all wanted to do laundry at the same time.
