We were impressed with our overall experience at this property. First is the location; we chose this property for its quiet location on the beautiful Sumida River, away from the hustle and bustle of the other very busy and touristy Tokyo districts. Second, the hotel itself is very pretty and the rooms are larger than what is typically found in Tokyo (we compared the room square footage and found the rooms at this property were easily 40% larger than other properties in the touristy districts). Third; the staff at the property was top-notch professional and very eager to assist us in any way they could. The housekeeping staff was very polite and serviced our room extremely well every day (our room was spotless when we arrived and throughout our stay!). The restaurant staff was very professional and very courteous. And finally, the front desk staff were "over the top" professional, sweet, courteous, and helpful. We would like to give a special mention to Yu Sekiue at the front desk for assisting us almost every day with special requests. She is very sweet, professional, and an excellent ambassador for The Gate Hotel Ryogoku by Hulic. We look forward to staying at this property on a future visit!

The hotel is gorgeous in every aspect and the staff are wonderful. Our room was huge for the price and wonderfully decorated! There are plugs and USB ports in the headboard, great free channels on the TV, and the luggage shipping service at the front desk was such a lifesaver. The location is perfect - Ryougoku is a lovely area and the hotel has a brilliant view of the Sumida River. It's right next to Ryougoku Station, a 7/11, the Ryougoku Kokugikan, the Japanese Sword Museum and plenty of shops/izakayas/bars. It's a great base for exploring Tokyo day by day. We will definitely be coming back! :)

Very spacious room, double sink in the bathroom and both a bath tub and a shower. Very comfortable King size bed and a sofa, plus a working desk. There is a coffee machine and a kettle for making tea. Staff were very friendly and had our luggage already in our room when we arrived (we had them delivered from Kyoto).

There are 4 Gate Hotels in Tokyo, so I accidentally booked the one by the Ryogoku Station, which is quite far from the centre. The hotel is close to train station, but it takes time if you want to visit the main attractions. The hotel is also by a flyover road so there is some noise and you need to keep your curtains closed for privacy all the time.

I absolutely LOVED my stay at The Gate Hotel Ryogoku. it's right next to the JR station (great if you have JR pass to quickly pop into Tokyo for free!) with lots of food nearby-restaurants and convenience stores. however-or was also in a more quiet part of the city. staff was helpful with everything and were so kind-they even helped me to help ship my luggage to Narita airport. Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese but everyone at reception spoke English. the room was very large, clean and had a great bathroom. bed was extremely comfortable. and the best part was the rooftop--amazing to soak up Tokyo views. this is a fantastic hotel and I highly to anyone who is looking! I'll be back next time I'm in Tokyo!

(Note: I booked my room during the Black Friday deals, so I was able to stay at a price cheaper than the standard.) The room I stayed in (Superior Corner King Room) was wide and spacious, far bigger than any hotel room I've stayed at in Japan. Bed was very comfortable - soft but not overly so, so I had no trouble going to sleep. The bathroom has barriers separating the toilet, the sink, and the bathtub/shower stall, which I appreciated. The shower stall and bathroom were also 75% bigger than any I've used before. I did not interact with the staff that much, but found them very friendly and capable of providing guidance in English. The hotel is very close to Ryogoku Station (Sobu Line), which you can take to Akihabara (just 2 stops away) or Shinjuku to access various other subway lines. This also makes it easy to get to and from Narita Airport. If you don't mind a bit of walking, you can get to the hotel without needing any transfers by taking the Keisei Narita Skyaccess to Higashi-Nihombashi. You can get on a water bus at the Ryogoku River Center for a pleasant ride (1 hour and 30 minutes) to and from Odaiba. It might take longer than the subway, but it's far more relaxing and scenic. My room had 2 USB ports, which I appreciated since it meant I could charge my watch and phone without relying on a plug adapter. The food at the hotel restaurant was enjoyable too, I enjoyed the beef stew and the coffee.

TV was pretty lackluster, and while there is an option to connect the TV to your phone/tablet I could never really get it to work. There's also no VOD or apps or whatever so I had to rely on my tablet if I wanted to watch something. Air conditioning/heating takes a bit of time to get started up, and can be difficult to navigate. For some reason my primary card wouldn't work at the hotel despite working at other places in Japan, so I had to rely on my secondary card.

The restaurant called the anchor was exceptional

We had an amazing time at the Gate Hotel! The staff were very polite and helpful, doing everything to make us feel comfortable. The breakfast variety was good. Even though the hot dishes selection was limited, it was surely enough. The room was spacious and the bed was huge! Also, the room facing the stadium was very quiet, we did not hear any street noise. On the 9th floor there is a nice terrace with Skytree view, you can visit it to enjoy the time with a drink. The location is also very convenient, the JR station is just in 3 min walk. Definitely would love to come back!

Hotel itself was wonderful. Rooms are spacious, as family of 3 with luggages we were easily fit and navigated in the room. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was easy to use and trendy. Cleaning ladies were very efficient and kind, every morning they greaded us with big smile and did a great job of cleaning. Amenities were great. Air purifier was working well, hot water came just in seconds, Nespresso was good. Location was so peaceful and nice also close to a lot of museums, restaurants and cafes. JR station was a 3 minute walk, making it so convenient. Overall we loved it.

Restaurants and terrace lounge was closed too early. Last order is at 21:00 for both. But as tourists we can only get to hotel by that time. If we would like to have late night dinner or snack it was impossible. Though facilities were great to enjoy and relax at night, so it is a pity that we were not able to do so.

Really spacious rooms and a nice roof top.

Location was away from the hustle and bustle if that’s what you prefer. Our view wasn’t as nice as we had expected. Picture shows lake views but a busy car bridge was right outside our window, perhaps we weren’t put on a high enough floor.

Very clean, the personnel is extremely well mannered and personable, the breakfast is very tasty, all prepared with local products (it is A LOT!). The location is in the home district of the Sumo community and the hotel is located in front of the main Sumo stadium of the whole country. At walking distance from the Ryogoku station of the JB line (JR pass works), plenty of restaurants, 2 stops from Akihabara and 5 min walking from a beautiful 15th century garden.

A small subset of the personnel speaks english, which is surprising.
