Wired Hotel Asakusa

Wired hotel is in an awesome spot in Asakusa, which is quieter than busy Shinjuku or Shibuya but still very lively and packed with stuff to see right at the doorstep. We stayed in the superior room and the room was very spacious and clean. Bathroom was also big with large bath and shower, and we had a balcony with a view of the nearby Senso-Ji temple. The bed was also comfortable.

We were disappointed by the overall experience and felt for the price we paid, we should have had some more basic things. For example, there were no kettle or tea or coffee making facilities in our room, and when we enquired about this (as it’s a pretty basic feature of much cheaper hotels) we were told we could use the shared facilities on the fourth floor with the dorm rooms. We then asked if reception had tea bags to offer us, but they said our room did not come with tea bags. This seems like a small thing to complain about, but when you’re paying over $400 aud for a room, I don’t expect to be sharing facilities with a dorm, and I do expect the basic things like tea and coffee to be in the room. We also felt that the staff couldn’t really care less if we stayed there or not. Whilst we loved the location we didn’t enjoy our experience here and wouldn’t stay again.
