The flagship Hotel Asakusa 3000 is located 7 minutes on foot from Asakusa Station on the Metro Ginza Line and TOEI Asakusa Line.
Although it's situated close to Sensoji Temple, the rates are extremely cheap, starting from just ¥2,000, including a free breakfast!

This hotel is inside Asakusa's shopping district. On the first floor, there's a general store.
With a convenience store right in front, it's very well-situated!

Free bicycles for rent

You can borrow a bicycle for free. Would you feel a bit embarrassed with the hotel's advertising emblazoned on it?
However, for going around the area, a bicycle is convenient!

Since a lot of overseas tourists stay here, there are many multilingual guidance signs. This is a non-smoking facility equipped with free Wi-Fi service.
By the way, there's also an elevator.

There are also staff members who can speak foreign languages.

After checking in, I took my discount coupon downstairs to the general store on the 1st floor. There, I received a cute set of nail clippers!

You can drink as much as you like, but it's too bad that the coffee was so weak!
A free breakfast is offered every morning, buffet-style, in the common space (6-9 am).

Rooms

There are rooms for women, men and mixed genders. The bedrooms are capsule-style bunk beds. Underneath is a storage space for luggage.
They also have rooms for 2 or 4 people that may be locked. It might be a good idea for friends or family staying together to reserve them.

Strolling Around Asakusa

Walk a little and you will reach Sensoji Temple. This is a fun area to stroll around!

Summary

The breakfast buffet was mostly fried food and carbohydrates. It's too bad that there weren't many vegetables. Considering that it's a free meal, though, I guess it's good enough!
For such a conveniently located hotel, I was surprised that its fees were set so cheaply! !
