Arcsens Tokyo

Arcsens is 1.7 Kms from the Skytree, about 2.5Kms from the Asakusa area and Senso-ji. It is a good location and the Metro+JR line is approximately 700 meters from the hotel. It is a small hotel with 9 rooms and reception available from 8 AM to 12 PM. The rooms are approximately 300 sq feet in size. Small kitchen (not utensils except plates and cutlery you can ask for), Refrigerator, a fold out table, and 4 beds arranged in a weird fashion - 2 at bottom and 2 on top. Bathroom is clean and big. Simply put, if you have a family of more than 4, definitely stay here as it will be cost effective. Otherwise, you can look for another option as the room is a little claustrophobic. Staff is super helpful and can speak English. They will guide you to all nearby locations and also help book Go/big taxis as needed.

The 4 beds are arranged in a dorm-style with 2 beds on bottom and 2 beds on top. It is claustrophobic. If you have acute claustrophobia, you should definitely reconsider staying at the hotel. It would have been better if they could have arranged 3 beds instead of 4 but without the up/down arrangement. The washing machine is not in the room. It is on the 5th floor and it costs 400 yen to wash and 200 to dry. Dryer is absolutely useless.

The beds were soft and receptionist were excellent in their conversational English skills. They were helpful in answering to all our questions.

As it is bunk style for 4 pax, the platforms at the upper deck can cause quite a loud sound to the bottom deck when they are walking up and down the stairs. Perhaps adding a layer of carpet at the upper deck can help to absorb and reduce the sound.

Nice and stylish boutique hotel. The layout of the room we stayed in made it spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Ammenities were clean and modern.

The hotel is about a 10 - 15 min walk from the closest JR station and the area is not central to popular areas (Shinjuku and Shibuya) which after a long day can seem like a trek back.

I loved the design, and how despite how cramped the rooms looked like in pictures, it was actually very spacious. It was also sparkling clean, and the concierge were very hospitable.

Not the best location in Tokyo, Shibuya, and shinjiku are around a 40 minute metro ride away. Very close to Akihabara if that’s what you’re into.

the design was well thought of, ceiling of the sleeping area though was a bit too low though.

there was a time when there was a toilet smell coming out from the bathroom. i dont know if the exhaust was broken or the smell from other toilets are coming in. but it disappeared after a day or two.

Very nice hotel. Ceiling over all four beds is low, so beware if you are tall, but this place is nice and quiet with kitchenette and very nice bathroom. Good location at a good price. The nearby park has a fascinating history and was our landmark for car rides to drop us off there.

It was very clean and comfortable. The rain shower was incredible. Also very accessible - the train station was only a 6 minute walk and there were 3 convenient stores within the area.

No negatives ☺️

Modern, clean and helpful staff

Location was more remote than expected. Lacked some self service basics

Approx. 10 min walking distance from JR Ryogoku. A small apartment suitable for a family.

The apartment had a kitchen hob so we thought we could cook, but we couldn't. There is a microwave downstairs that can be used to heat food.

everyone was so welcoming and kind. we do not speak the language well and they were so helpful and kind. the room was amazing and the area was low key and absolutely beautiful.
