“Unbeatable location, great for families!”
+Banrai Hotel was the first hotel of my planned trip to Japan that I was excited about: mostly because of its location (literally right outside one of the exits of Asakusa Station, which is one of my favorite parts of Tokyo), but also because it was new, modern, stylish, with a cool-looking restaurant on the ground floor. A little on the spendy side, but that's to be expected from a boutique hotel (whatever the hell that term means). In reality, the Banrai Hotel lives up to just about all of my expectations. The location is simply UNBEATABLE. Our room, which was furnished with four twin bunk beds, was surprisingly large, and awesome for our family, which included two toddlers; the mattresses were "comfy enough"; there's no TV, which I found I did not miss. There was only a small shower (no ofuro), which was a little disappointing, as was the $10/day room cleaning fee (you get one free cleaning if you stay 3+ days, which we did, and was the only time we used it). The laundry on the ground floor is *chef's kiss*: those industrial washer/dryer units do it all in a single go (60 mins), and don't require you to insert any detergent, making our mid-trip clothes cleaning effort cinch! 1,00
+Great location. Close to everything we needed and wanted to see Room consisted of 2 bunk beds with the bottom bunk on tatami mats. Beds were very comfortable.
+Sehr freundliches Personal. Liegt zentral und direkt an einer U-Bahn Station. Das japanische Frühstück ist lecker.
+This was so super close to the big transit station and nearby several tourist attractions. The staff is accommodating to English-speaking guests. The rooms are very cute and feel more uniquely Japanese than standard hotel rooms. The included breakfast is fresh and delicious.

“Great location and large room”
+Very convenient location right at Asakusa station. Get off at exit A4 and you are literally there, yet the place is quiet. Large room for 4 people with comfortable bed.
+Really exeprience good hotel if its youre 1st time in japan and youre solo. Good with a group as well
+Perfect location for a Tokyo Trip. Interesting things around in foot distance, only 1 Minute to a good station, others very close. Good oldschool atmosphere and attractions around, also not too loud and not as crowded later at night/early morning. Easily accessibly with english and so on, but still authentic and can go a few streets of main locations to not be in a too touristy area. With some good timing the prices for the hotel were very affordable (50€ per person per day avg). Personal is very nice and helpful but the offered services and facilities are a bit mediocre. Rooms are relatively clean and comfortable, but very small and not fancy. The restaurant/bar downstars is okayish. I liked the unrelated roof terrace bar thingy on top, a bit relaxed young casual atmosphere. Daily breakfast was fine, solid quality and japanese style but with some western influences. But after a week or so I preferred to be flexible with timing and have very different styles on my own. Overall the hotel itself isnt that great, but it does what is needed and has very nice staff. The perfect location and decent price make up for the small rooms and so on.
+I love the mix of traditional and modern style of the room that we stayed in. The room is also very spacious and the beds are big and comfortable. The location is excellent, it’s very close to the station and famous landmarks, and also convenience stores. i will definitely book this place again when I come back to Japan
