convenient location helpful staff tatami mat no window no natural light malfunctioning air conditioning
the location was quite convenient, especially its proximity to senso-ji temple. the staff were helpful when i needed directions. the traditional japanese room, it had a tatami mat, was a nice touch.
my room did not have any windows. this meant there was no natural light, it was a bit stuffy. the air conditioning did not work correctly, it was quite warm in the room.

we booked the smallest sakura room as that was the only one available. i was concerned about the space, but it was perfect. there are chests of drawers by the window with space to unpack clothes. there is also a cubby by the front door with extra storage and space for suitcases.
