My trip to Japan was a lengthy 22 day trip, 16 of which we stayed at this weekly mansion, and it would only have been possible to make such a long trip with this little gem. Check in was easy and they let us split the payments, letting me pay the remainder when we wanted, the staff were friendly, understanding and very helpful however not all fully fluent in english, but they seemed to keep a fluent speaker on hand. My only surprised was the size of the room, it was smaller then I expected, especially the bathroom, if you are taller then average (greater then 6 foot), you may have some difficulty otherwise it had all the amenities that mostly anyone would need, (if you need to iron something ask the staff for the iron and board) For many of the 16 days we saved a lot of money by using the fridge and set-top cooker and pans to cook our own meals. In terms of comfort, the bed was very nice, sheets were warm, best of all the window has a solid sliding door which keeps the room nicely dark for those late morning wake-ups. As for location, you can easily walk to Asakusa, Tokyo Sky Tree, many different convenience stores and mini-marts and several train/subway lines, the closest of which is only a 5 minute walk once reached will take you to almost anywhere else in the city via subs/trains.

Essentially, for it's location, amenities, and flexibility, Weekly Mansion Asakusa offers one of the best deals for those looking to save money on a very expensive city like Tokyo. And i highly recommend it, especially if your looking at staying longer then just a few days.

This is truly a find for travellers who need value for money in Tokyo. At first we were a bit worried about the location: the fastest and cheapest way to get here from Narita (1060yen) is to take the Keisei line - but you need to change trains at Aoto, then Oshiage to get to Kuramae station. It's not as bad as it sounds, and you only need to cross the platform to take connecting trains. Just check that the train is the correct one, not express or branching off. The train carriages have the stations on a screen, or the platforms have a subway map. When you get to Kuramae, you take exit 2 to street level, go right to the end of the street, then right again on Kasuga Dori across the bridge. Cross over to the left hand side of Kausuga Dori and Weekly Mansions is 2 blocks down with a highly visible sign indicating entry. Staff is of course, efficient and polite.

We get to the room, and despite the small rooms which is to be expected: you need to provide nothing as everything is provided for your stay. Towels, dressing gowns, slippers & toiletries including liquid soap, liquid shampoo, toothbrushes/ paste, hairdryer, induction cooktop, pots/ dishes/ cutlery/ cookware and even a little rice-cooker. There is a lan cable for free internet, heating in both bedroom and main room, a good sized refrigerator (we are in a twin/ triple room).
You can get a good area map downstairs in the lobby - which we used to find a 24hr supermarket 20 minutes walk away, as well as precise locations of food places and train stations. It is now our third day here, and we borrowed the portable washing machine available for free, just to see what it was. It's like an electric salad spinner that you fill up with a few clothes, soap and water, and it agitates away. Japanese ingenuity!
There's a lot more that Weekly Mansions provide, but this is just to give you a good idea. Please contact me if you want to know more - it is only our third day here, and we are so impressed!
ps the reason I gave sleep quality a little less, is because of the wheat pillows which I personally find a little hard. But this is purely subjective: otherwise there was plenty of clean bedding/ duvets/ blankets.
