We pre-booked and paid for our rooms in May 2024 for an October stay. Come October, we showed up with confirmations in hand and was told that the rooms had been overbooked and we didn't have the rooms we requested. Staff was apologetic and immediately re-booked us with an Air bnb that had 1-bathroom/toilet for 12 people. We finally checked-in at around 10 pm but was told that we had to be checked out by 10 am due to a previous booking. Not sure how the overbooking happened but check 72-hours before you arrive regardless of having paid ahead for your stay.

Great stay overall - breakfast was very filling (rice, miso soup, egg, sausage, fish, cold tea), and extremely convenient location right next to Ginza and Asakusa lines. Room was a bit on the smaller side, and the ceiling a bit low too, but overall okay even with two luggage bags (can’t really open them both at the same time). It can be a bit noisy at night because of the rooftop bar so something to note when booking. Great value for location and service.

Fantastic location and great staff, but be aware that the Standard Room listed on expedia has NO WINDOW. The expedia lists that rather important detail under 'other'. It felt like staying in a storage closet.

The hotel is located right next to the Asakusa station A4 exit. You can walk to the Kaminarimon (landmark temple gate with huge lantern) within a minute, no joking. That says the hotel is in prime location of Asakusa. The staffs were nice and warm, even though some are not fluent in English but they will try their best to explain things. My son also got 5 Pokemon cards :D from the staff. The breakfast was nice. The room is bigger that what we expected, I believe they upgrade us to a 2 bunkbed room, which can easily sleeps 8 ppl. This hotel is awesome even though this is not a big hotel or from any well known hotel chain.

Location is right on the left side of one of Asakusa stations's exit, it's 2 minutes walk to Kaminorimon so I really enjoy to be able walking around Asakusa at night. For the price and location, it's a steal. My room was meant for 3 person, so its very spacious since i travelled solo. there's a restaurant on groundfloor, rental kimono on 4th floor and rooftop bar on 5th floor, so its convenient if thats what you're looking for good laundry room - the noise is big reason why i won't recommend this place. I'm not a party person, so listening to electronic music from 7 to past midnight while trying to sleep is not fun. If i may suggest, it should be a mandatory that door between floor & hallways need to be kept closed when the bar is operating to reduce noise, because it really disturb guests. - I really love the Japanese style room, however mattress was quite thin, i can feel the metal peer inside the mattress perhaps invest in better one. I think if they improve amenities, service and noises, there's big potential for this place.

Great location with English speaking staff. Can highly recommend karaoke at the bar on the first floor at night. It's no frills which, in my opinion, is exactly what you want as especially a single traveler. Sometimes Japanese hotel hospitality can be overbearing, but this place feels friendly and casual.

This was the worst experience hotel I've ever been to. As soon as I walked into the room (with no windows) I smelled a strong chemical odor but didn't think too much of it. Took a quick shower, bathroom was nice (great shower pressure and very new and clean) and went out. Came home late and went to bed, woke up a couple hours later and could not go back to sleep because of awful chemical smell. Pretty sure it was Formaldehyde. Disgusting chemical smell that made it impossible to go back to sleep. Now several weeks later I still have a burning sensation in my throat. The Hotel refused not refund me for the night I spent but agreed through Expedia Rep to cancel and refund the rest of my stay. I never complain or leave negative reviews, but this place is not safe, please do not stay here! I still worry about the effect this will have on my overall health.

It was a nice hotel, but a little strange. There is a bar on the ground floor. Outside it says the entrance for the hotel is on a side street. Going on you see a hallway there is a door on the left that went into the bar. Which is where you check in. They schedule the time for breakfast. They make it fresh for you at that time.

Banrai Hotel was a very small hotel with a very family run feel to it. They made me a personalized breakfast each morning that was delicious and beautiful in its presentation. The best part was that the hotel was just steps from the Asakusa line station. I got off the train the first time there, and I could see the hotel right at the end of the street. The room I got was small but perfect if you are just looking for a clean bed to sleep in and a shower before heading back out into Tokyo for the day. Highly recommend.

Book this hotel you won’t regret it.
Banrai is great if you’re staying for 2-3 nights. It’s literally a 2 minute walk from a 7/11 if you need snacks or Yamato. It’s a quick block away from so many things to do. And if you’re coming for Sakura season you’ll find the most beautiful walk of sakuras close by. The room we stayed in was HUGE and was the largest by far our entire trip in Japan. The service is very sweet and nice and spoke decent English to get by. It’s very easy to find due to their big letters and the building is partially red, in case you’re taking the train to the hotel. Oh not to mention their washing machines are superior to any hotel. They wash and dry clothes within a hour and you’re on your way! I had to find out the hard way because my next few stays had awfully weak washer and dryers. There’s also a bar/restaurant open in the evenings for good food. And they give you free drink tickets! Only negative thing I had to say is when I arrived they did not clean out the fridge from the last person so stayed.

I took a chance on this hotel as the hotel I had before does not exist anymore in Asakusa. Positive: I was looking for a hotel that was next to the train staton and this was it! Friendly staff and willing to do their best to help and suggest things to eat and do. Negatives: The room I got was a tatami style room where it is a futon on a mat floor and you sleep on top of the futon. It is not really ideal for side sleepers like I am but adjusted after a while and was lucky enough to have extra pillows since my room was for 4 people. Next time I will probably ask for extra pillows to be comfortable. This minor inconvenience does not bother me as much as I am rarely on the room and prioritize travel than sleep. The other thing I like to point out I noticed the walls or windows maybe thin and can hear outside or rooms as well. Again does not bother much for the same reason above but someone else might be. Despite that, I totally recommend this hotel for the convenient access to asakusa line which can go to either Narita or Haneda straight if needed. The staff are super helpful and considerate as they let me leave my luggage for last minute shopping after checkout. I do believe as of this writing March 2024 they will learn and improve to be an excellent hotel. I look forward to use this hotel on my next trip to Tokyo.
