Dai-ichi Hotel Ryogoku

1. For the price that they offer, the room size is bigger than most hotels in Tokyo. I can easily put two of my luggages without obstruction. 2. It’s located right beside the Ryogoku Station, gate A1 and this station has escalators. 3. The hotel is a bit old in terms of the look BUT they are very well maintained. 4. My room 2428 view was the Tokyo Sky Tree. 5. The staffs were very helpful. 6. You can keep your luggage at the hotel if you are early for check in or check out. 7. There’s 7eleven just opposite the back entrance of the hotel.

Everything was so amazing! The staff, room, cleaning crew, and hotel were all exceptional. The hotel being connected to Ryōgoku Station & a 7-Eleven was extremely convenient, too. The park next door is also gorgeous. We also really loved the view of Skytree & that they offered a free Disney shuttle. We just loved everything!! While it was a little tight for my husband and I and 3 suitcases, it was still very cozy and we were able to get around the room just fine. I can’t recommend this hotel enough, our visit was absolutely perfect! We will be back to visit Tokyo, and will definitely choose this hotel for all future trips. Some traveller tips: ~You can do laundry around the corner at CoreWash Sumida. The machines are all-in-one, affordable, & take coins (we only spent ¥1500 on a huge suitcase full of clothes). ~I can only speak for US travelers, but just use the ATM at the 7-Eleven on site to get cash. ~Be sure to explore the neighborhood! Keiyo Road has lots of great shops (stop by the sumo gift shop across the street from Daiso!), same with the road that runs along the JR Line near the hotel going towards Sumida River.

Though it is not located in those main well known areas like Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, it is near a JR station whereby you can connect to the main Yamanote line that takes you to all the main tourist locations. As we bought JR passes so we don’t have to pay extra to take metro lines. Out of the 5 days in Tokyo, 2 days were spent at Disneyland / DisneySea. This hotel provides free shuttle bus to / fro these parks so we don’t have to navigate through the train / subway during peak hours. There is a 7-eleven right next to the hotel making it convenient for us to grab food, snack and drinks anytime we need.

The Dia-ichi Hotel Ryogoku was a very affordable hotel for our 13-night stay in Tokyo. It's within walking distance to several attractions including the Sensoju Temple, Sky Tree, the Edo Museum, and shopping areas. The staff are friendly and very helpful with answering questions about the area. The room was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel while visiting Tokyo, Japan.

Strategically located next to Tokyo Metro subway, easy access to Asakusa, Ueno, Roppongi, Ginza you name it! Also the front desk is 24hrs and you can post your baggages to the airport or your next hotel anytime of the day!
