Pearl Hotel Ryogoku

“Location location location”

Checking-in was quick and the staff was extremely courteous LOCATION: It's centrally located but not that central that you encounter hordes of people every day and at every hour.

Checking-in was quick and the staff was extremely courteous LOCATION: It's centrally located but not that central that you encounter hordes of people every day and at every hour. It's near Asakusa (temples), Akihabara (anime and games), and Skytree (Pokemon Center). It's in Ryogoku so it's close all things Sumo. There's plenty of food places (I recommend going to the nearby Hasegawa for a taste of Michelin star tonkatsu) and convenience stores nearby. It's walking distance to the train station so sometimes it becomes noisy. SERVICES and AMENITIES: There's a laundry area on a different floor. There are several vending machines. The Internet is everywhere. There's a resto on the 1st floor (I recommend having breakfast elsewhere if you're on a budget). The room is Japan-size (aka small). The twin room barely fits two people. If you're more than 6'3 tall, good luck to you. There's the usual stuff: kettle with tea, hairdryer, bathtub, etc. Nothing fancy but sufficient.

“Good hotel”

We stayed here for a last few nights before we came back home and we found it to be in a good location with small restaurants nearby and the train station is quite close. The only downfall is that the train station is so close that it is quite noisy.

“Very good location!”

We had a great stay here. First the location is superb, place is quiet and very near the Ryogoku Sobu line station, just 1 minute walk! There are restaurants and convenience store nearby. Room we had is small (economy studio room) and on the older wing of the hitel but all is okay. Room and toilet… more

We had a great stay here. First the location is superb, place is quiet and very near the Ryogoku Sobu line station, just 1 minute walk! There are restaurants and convenience store nearby. Room we had is small (economy studio room) and on the older wing of the hitel but all is okay. Room and toilet & bath is clean with free toiletries. Wifi connection is fast. Staff are very helpful and can speak english well. Breakfast is also good.I just hope there's a complimentary bottled water in the room. Check in and check out was smoothly fast.

“Average Hotel, Very small Bathrooms!”

SO if your claustrophobic, don't stay here! The room was a double ( 2 beds) in a room that was barely the size for one bed! I too the mattress from Bed #2 and put it atop bed #1 and had a bit more space. Fortunately the frame folded up and I stored it against eh other side wall. The bathroom door i… more

SO if your claustrophobic, don't stay here! The room was a double ( 2 beds) in a room that was barely the size for one bed! I too the mattress from Bed #2 and put it atop bed #1 and had a bit more space. Fortunately the frame folded up and I stored it against eh other side wall. The bathroom door is only about 18" wide and I had to turn sideways to get in there. Think small cruise ship bathrooms and you will understand. AS a standard I asked if there was a larger bathroom available, and the whole thing was lost in translation... One good thing was the breakfast for $11.00. Nice selection. The locations is tops for going to the Sumo Bashos. Great JR line access. Great restaurants in 3 block radius. I would return for the right price.

“Budget hotel ”

Rooms are small. Service is good breakfast OK. Very near the station so easy to walk around. If you like McDonalds then this gets better as there is one just a few steps away. You can walk to the Skytree felon here. You can also take a boat and see Tokyo and get to a beach!
