The location proved excellent. It was very close to the train station. The attractions of Asakusa were easily accessible. The room provided a phone power cord, which I found useful. The insulated shower prevented leaks.

The breakfast options were quite limited, so I did not find it as interesting as the other aspects of the stay.
