We loved our stay at the Richmond in Asakusa. We could get to three different train stations within 10 minutes and the area was nice and quiet, a good break from the bustle of other places in Tokyo. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially with check-in. We also really loved the breakfast, which had something for everyone. Some items were more traditionally Japanese (soup, noodles, grated yam, and both raw and cooked fish) and various items were available if you wanted a more western breakfast with eggs and hashbrowns. They also had to-order matcha pancakes, which were delicious and not overly sweet. Salad, some cereal, yogurt with many topping options, fruit, and juices were all available too. They kept everything stocked well and we had something a little different every day.
The room was small but just enough for us. Unfortunately we don’t think the air conditioning worked but we opened the windows and slept like babies. The bathroom had all the needed amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body wash), and the bed was comfortable. They also provided pajamas and slippers for lounging.
We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this place for visitors who want a more quiet place of town to stay but who still want all the amenities and amazing food Tokyo has to offer.
