Taito Ryokan is a traditional Japanese-style inn located in a residential Tokyo neighborhood, close to a subway and within walking distance of the Senso-ji temple. This charming budget property has nine simple guest rooms with tatami mats covering the floors and folding futon beds. The bathroom facilities are shared, and there are no in-room amenities besides air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. There's a small common room with a TV and free tea or coffee, but breakfast service is not offered here. Rates are cheap -- but the property is in need of refurbishment. Similar rates are on offer at K's House Tokyo Oasis, another traditional-style inn with impeccably maintained guest rooms that have en-suite bathrooms and televisions.

The 55-room, two-and-a-half-pearl Ueno Touganeya Hotel offers a clean and modern base for travelers wanting easy access to Tokyo’s main cultural attractions.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Hokke Club Asakusa is conveniently located near the Asakusa subway station, and is walking distance to the popular Senso-ji Temple. Its 186 modern but somewhat spartan guest rooms have desks, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, air purifiers, kettles, and free Wi-Fi, but some lack windows and views. Bathrooms are traditional Japanese-style, with washing stations and separate bathtubs. Facilities are limited, with no restaurant/bar or fitness center, but breakfast is served for an extra fee, and there's a guest laundry room and vending machines. It's not easy to beat these rates in the neighborhood, but for a little more, the Richmond Hotel Asakusa adds a restaurant and is located even closer to the Senso-Ji Temple grounds.

Andon Ryokan is a very basic but clean budget hotel that's popular with young travelers and is conveniently located within walking distance of the subway. The hotel offers a modern twist on the traditional "ryokan" style inn: the contemporary building has 24 guest rooms with tatami floors and futon beds, and instead of a traditional Japanese-style public bath, there's a hot tub. The rooms are tiny, however, with only 75 square feet of floor space, and bathroom and toilet facilities are shared. In-room amenities include air-conditioning, TVs, DVD players, and free Wi-Fi. Other services include breakfast (charged extra), bicycle rental, laundry facilities, and daily cultural activities. Travelers might want to compare with Family Inn Saiko, which offers bigger rooms and free breakfast -- but rates are more expensive.

It's hard to beat the Asakusa View Hotel's great panoramas of such Tokyo landmarks as the Skytree and Senso-ji Temple -- even distant Mount Fuji on a good day. However, while many of the mid-range hotel's 326 rooms make the most of their city views, decor ranges from generically modern to a bit dated. The four restaurants offer plenty of variety -- Musashi serves grilled dishes from an oven made with Mount Fuji lava rocks -- and the scope of the buffet is impressive, but breakfast comes with a hefty fee. The indoor pool and the top-floor "members-only" bar charges guests a fee, and there's no fitness center. Travelers might want to compare rates with the Gate Hotel Asakusa Kaminarimon, which has equally impressive views but is more modern.
