Why we recommend it
The Gate Hotel Kaminarimon sits a moment's walk from the great lantern gate of Senso-ji, giving it one of the most convenient addresses in Asakusa. The hotel describes views across the neighbourhood to Tokyo Skytree, and its R Restaurant & Bar, with a terrace that comes into its own from dusk, is a good reason to stay in for a drink even if you are dining elsewhere.
Rooms come in several categories, including balcony and scenic options, so it is worth paying a little more for a view if Skytree is part of the appeal. Staying here means you can visit Senso-ji early in the morning before the day-trippers arrive. Asakusa Station on the Ginza and Asakusa lines is close by, with direct trains to Ueno, Ginza and, via the Asakusa Line, to Haneda and Narita airports.
