Such a quiet neighbourhood, I slept so soundly. The room was comfortable and plenty of space for 1. I loved that you can help yourself to really nice tea and take it back to your room. Don’t miss the onsen (ideally before bed for a great sleep!) and check out the roof terrace. A lovely stay, maybe a little pricier but that seems to be the norm for a ryokan. I think breakfast should be included at this price. Note to vegans- even though the menu says vegan friendly on some dishes , you still just specify, otherwise you’ll get some meat on your plate! My mistake

If it was a bit cheaper I would have booked another night for sure!

Nice traditional Japanese hostel style accommodation with the futon and tatami mat set up. If you’re looking to stay somewhere in Tokyo with a more local/traditional feel, this is worth a look. Comfy, clean with friendly staff who speak English. Good breakfast on offer (both western and Japanese) and a hot tub. Found a good ramen spot at 2 Chome-14-6 Minowa, Taito City, Tokyo 110-0011. Enjoy.

Not much to add here but location could be better, but that can’t be helped. Depends what you want: more or less hustle and bustle. There is less hustle and bustle here.

I don’t understand why this is only listed as a two star property. I went to a three star resort after this that was just awful by comparison! Maybe because it’s petite & minimalistic? I loved everything about the Andon Ryokan. It’s clear that the owner is an artist and has put his artistry into every aspect of the place. It’s extremely clean and the staff is very friendly – not just professionally friendly, but friendly like they actually care and want to give you a good experience. The one item of food I tried was very good. And I just completely love the atmosphere Throughout the Ryokan - casual, yet very friendly and very clean. The accoutrements were good too – we had a shared bathroom, but there were plenty of bathrooms to go around, so that didn’t affect us at all. The Jacuzzi room was also very nice. I would absolutely happily stay there again and wish I’d rebooked there on my return route through Tokyo.

No complaints

Unique and memorable experience for a first visit to Japan! Staff was very friendly and accommodating, and spoke English. I read reviews before booking, so I was aware that the rooms were very small and the facilities are all shared, and set my expectations accordingly. Bathrooms, shower, and onsen (hot tub) were all very clean. The onsen was super hot! Fun and relaxing. I highly recommend having breakfast there - it's delicious and convenient, and you'll get to meet other travelers. The location is a quiet residential area, I felt very safe walking here at night.

Really enjoyed this experience... the only thing I can say is that I personally would want more space and privacy for a longer stay, but for my 2 nights here, it was great.

This is a nice, relatively modern ryokan in the North of Asakusa. Warm welcome by English-speaking host who offered a variety of Japanese and Western breakfast. Shared washrooms and showers give a bit of youth hostel vibe, but there is a very cute bath with big shower that you can reserve as an alternative.

The location felt a little bit remote for my taste, it is a mostly residential neighbourhood. Walking to the center of Asakusa takes about 25 minutes. The next metro station Minowa is only 5-7 min. away, however. 4 stops to Akihabara. So still very well connected.

The beautiful bedrooms had super comfy foutons and a lockable door that was great for a peaceful night sleep. Our room was opposite a shower with a noise cancelling door and 2 x bathrooms. The lift for baggage was also fantastic to avoid dragging luggage up the stairs. We were a 5 minute walk to the closest subway stop - Minowa. We enjoyed an amazing breakfast made by the owner and had the opportunity to choose from traditional Japanese breakfasts or get a taste of modern breakfasts with their cinnamon French toast! Delicious!

I wouldn’t say there was anything we didn’t like. It met our needs perfectly. The room size was cosy and fit our 2 big luggage bags in without a problem.

This ryonkan (Japanese inn) is run by a very friendly and helpful team who make arriving in Japan easy for foreign visitors. Check-in time and luggage storage can be accommodated. The single room with futon bed is perfect for solo travellers. Bathrooms are shared, but there was never a queue. Breakfast was good and kept me going until lunch. I liked that hotwater and tea were available at all times as well as the heated table in the common area. A bus stop and an underground station are nearby. The staff gave me restaurant recommendations and even kept an adaptor for me which I had forgotten.

As the ryonkan was fully booked, it was a bit difficult to reserve a slot for the jacuzzi after a cold winter day. There were some rules about when and where eating was allowed, which I never understood.

The perfect place to stay as a solo traveler! It’s a very quiet + safe area, near the Minowa train line so it’s super easy to get to anywhere else in the city. HIGHLY recommend getting the breakfast included when you stay!! The Japanese omelette was amazing, I got it all 3 mornings I was there and they switched up the sides each morning. Overall a very cool experience staying in a ryokan, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone :)

No complaints!

We took a large room (i think for 4 people max), so we definitely had enough space to keep our futons out & have a sitting space with a table. The room seemed recent (unlike other ryokans). As many have already said, sleeping on a futon is life-changing, can't go back to mediocre hotel beds! The big dinner was absolutely marvelous, definitely worth reserving in advance and planning around it. The breakfast was also very good, the miso soup was the best of our trip. There's a jacuzzi free to use. Since we didn't get to enjoy an onsen on our trip, this was a very good (hot) bonus.

Beautiful small tatami rooms, good shared bathroom facilities, nice hot tub, pretty good soundproofing and/or other guests respectful of quiet time. Great recommendation and discount for a local sento (public bath). Really interesting architecture and art in the hotel. I liked the location; it's off the beaten path but great if you want to see some 'regular neighbourhood' Tokyo rather than touristy glitz. Near Nippori Fabric Town, which was handy for me! Neat that they had a lift for luggage (no lift for people).

Japanese set breakfast was only so-so compared to others I've had (veggies were ok, fish too salty and overcooked). It would be useful to have another hook or two in the room to be able to hang up damp towels. I believe the amenities list included a yukata but no yukata was provided. With shared bathroom facilities, a yukata is rather useful!
