Very cute design and consistent theme. Small room (very small) and slow elevators make this place a 6/10.

Asakusa View Hotel Annex Rokku
Breakfast was good, but a little on the pricey side. You're paying for convenience more than anything, there are a few other options in the area that are open and a bit cheaper.
