Hotel Tavinos in Asakusa sits in the kind of perfect location that almost makes you forget you’re basically sleeping inside a shoebox. You can walk to everything: temples, food, trains, and whatever else you feel like cramming into your Tokyo days. The rooms… well, let’s just say if you’re even mildly claustrophobic, this place will test your character development. They’re tiny. Like “don’t breathe too deeply” tiny. The beds were comfortable enough, but they had commitment issues and kept sliding away from each other. Romantic. The bathroom followed the same theme: compact to the point of comedy, but the shower was a beast. Powerful, hot, and honestly one of the best parts of the stay. Staff were super friendly and genuinely helpful, which definitely softened the edges of the sardine-can living situation. Overall: a solid choice for 3–4 days max. Great for convenience, less great if you plan on actually spending time in the room without bumping into furniture, walls, or each other.
