OCICA OSHIAGE TOKYO by R HOTEL

I stayed on the 6th floor in the orange-themed room (^.^) I could see the Skytree perfectly from my bed. Having a public bath next door was the best! I could watch YouTube. The refrigerator made a loud noise every few hours, waking me up repeatedly (T_T). The woman at the front desk in the morning was not kind and didn't have a good attitude.

Good amenities. A bit far from the train station, but travel is convenient. The rooftop photo spot is beautiful.

Really loved the rooftop view with a direct sight of the Skytree! ☺️ I chose the black room, and while I was prepared for it to be a bit dim, I didn't expect it to be quite *that* dark. Also, having the room on a different floor from the shower was a minor inconvenience. Other than that, everything else was great, and the location was ideal.

I initially wanted to try a capsule hotel, but ultimately realized how important a private room is for sleeping, especially for someone on a tight budget like me who needs good sleep. The room I booked was the blue one with double windows, which I'd seen mentioned in other reviews. The room design is quite sensible, allowing me to open my suitcase. The central air conditioning doesn't have individual temperature control, but the communal bathrooms are very clean. Men's and women's bathrooms are on odd and even floors respectively, and in the three days I stayed, I never encountered anyone else while showering. There's a super cheap supermarket nearby, and next door, an old public bathhouse and laundromat where locals go to soak. You can really feel the traditional and ancient vibe of the Asakusa neighborhood here, and the surrounding residential area is very quiet at night. Getting around by train is also convenient. It's about a 6-minute walk to Oshiage Station, which is the last stop on the Asakusa Line. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Tokyo Station, and it's very convenient if you're traveling with luggage as all the escalators go up. Overall, I would definitely consider booking here again for my next solo trip!

This hotel was super clean and conveniently located close to the station. We had a great view of the Tokyo Skytree from our room, and the night view was absolutely stunning. The blue and white color scheme in the room was lovely, and it was a really memorable experience being able to watch YouTube and the World Cup with my friends on the TV right in front of the bed.

The facilities are new and the transportation is very convenient. It's located on the east side of Tokyo, but it takes about 30-40 minutes to get to the west side, like Shinjuku. The area is very quiet, and there are a few decent restaurants and small markets nearby where you can buy fruits, bento boxes, etc. There's also a hot spring, though showering can be a bit of a hassle depending on your preference. Downstairs, there are two washer/dryer combos. If the price is right, it's definitely worth considering.
