Dai-Ichi Hotel Ryogoku

The location is super convenient, which is a big plus. The front desk staff were a bit cold and not very polite. I was quite surprised that when I asked where the elevator was, they didn't even look up and just gestured. That's a three-star experience for me. There's a hotel convenience store which is really handy for snacks and other things. Five stars for that! The interior facilities aren't new; they're just what you'd expect for the price, no pleasant surprises there. It's not dirty, but I wouldn't say it felt particularly clean either. Three and a half stars for cleanliness.

The hotel boasts an excellent location right next to a subway station, and they offer a shuttle service to the Disney Resort, though reservations are required in advance. Our triple room had a pleasant view, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the Skytree from it. However, you can head up to the 18th-floor observation window for panoramic views of Tokyo, including the Skytree. The room was spacious by Japanese standards, more than enough for a family trip. The facilities were complete and very clean, and there's an ice machine available on our floor.

Great location, very close to the subway station, which makes getting around super easy.
