The view is amazing at Grace Lee Asakusa Hotel. I was initially concerned because there weren’t many reviews, but it turned out to be fantastic. I checked in today and I couldn’t resist staying in the room. I made the reservation back in September, so the price was around USD 40 per night.

Even though I didn’t plan anything and just wanted to eat and rest early, I discovered Senso-ji Temple just a 5-minute walk away. I also enjoyed exploring Nakamise Street. The hotel even provided foam cleanser for hand washing, which was great because I don’t like using soap. The bathtub, which I thought would be small based on reviews, was actually quite spacious. I’m 170cm tall and could stretch my legs comfortably when sitting in it. The width was also sufficient for crossing my legs or leaning on the sides. The water pressure was good, and the hairdryer worked well too.
The hotel became even more beautiful upon my return. While it might be a bit cramped for two people, it’s absolutely perfect for a solo stay. There are humidifiers, plenty of hangers, and the shampoo smells great. The hotel also has a coin laundry on the second floor. I requested an additional card at the front desk and left the humidifier running while I was out.
Since I’ve been experiencing some discomfort due to jet lag from Korea, I tried the vitamin drink recommended by the hotel called Lemon Gremolata. Just a taste of its sourness made me automatically wink.
Oh, and I asked the hotel via email if I could reserve a high-floor room with a Skytree view in advance. They mentioned it would be an additional JPY 1000 per night. I decided to leave it up to luck and didn’t request it upon check-in. However, because I had sent the email, I ended up getting the exact room I desired! I highly recommend contacting them via email. Grace Lee Asakusa Hotel is highly recommended!
