The hotel is located near the Asakusabashi station. It is closer to the JR west exit than the other exits nearby, including the subway. It was within walking distance of Akihbara as well, so it was convenient to access shopping and dining options, and was quite central in terms of visiting other locations of interest within Tokyo.
Upon arrival at the airport, the reception is not staffed, but instead is outfitted with talking dolls. It was quite...creepy... when I first arrived. It was not immediately obvious what I should do and what I should expect. I figured it out, but I think it was better to not have the dolls in the first place and just have an automated system.
It was also very strange for the hotel to ask for the hotel tax at check in rather than including it with the room rate upon booking.
My impression is that the hotel is quite budget conscious. For example, while guests were allowed to retrieve their own amenities from a common area at reception, no tea powder was offered, which I thought was standard at such hotels in Japan. Another example is when I booked a room with 3 beds, the hotel only provided linen for 2, which has never happened in any of my hotel stays in the past. They wanted additional money for the 3rd guest, which was fine, but this could have been made clearer during the booking process.
Despite that, the wifi worked well and the hotel room was clean. I had a good night's rest.
