Hotel Sky Court - Asakusa - Tokyo, Japan 

Cheap, clean and a beautiful breakfast

We stayed here during summer vacation with my parents in law. While the rooms were clean, ours smelt like cigarette smoke which seemed to permeate the room. The in-laws were in the smoke free room apparently. The stay here was nice, the beds ok and it was a quiet area. The breakfast was really good. The in laws had just arrived in Japan and had their first real Japanese breakfast even having Natto, a Japanese breakfast staple. The map is very misleading and after a long day of sightseeing it was a fair hike to get there. Carrying suitcases all the way here in summer was not fun. From the station under the dept store it took about 15 minutes walking to get there. It was a nice hotel but too far away for my liking.

Far from subway, but clean and good value for money

We stayed at Skycourt Asakusa in December 2004. From Narita Airport, it is quite difficult to access via train/subway since the hotel is 20+ minutes walk from Asakusa station. If you carry big luggage, a good option is to take a train from Narita to Ueno station and then get a taxi to go to the hotel. (Make sure you have the hotel name and address in both English and Japanese, just in case.) The taxi is generally quite expensive, but this is only a short ride. We took the same transportation for the return trip to the airport. The room is clean and well maintained. The bathroom, though very small, works very well. Water temp and pressure is good. If you need some munchies, there is a Lawson convenient store across the street. If you plan to use the hotel as a base camp for sightseeing in Tokyo, it is better to ask the hotel staff how to take the bus between hotel and Asakusa station. In addition to the bus number, make sure you remember the Japanese character for the bus as well. As we went out to various parts of Tokyo everyday starting from Asakusa station, taking the bus has made our days a lot more convenient because we didn’t have to walk that 20+ minutes to/from the station. Overall, it was quite a pleasant stay at Skycourt Asakusa.
