Keisei Richmond Hotel Tokyo Oshiage

The location of this hotel is perfect. I’ve been to Japan 4 times and stayed in different locations and prefer this location over anywhere else. Being so close to the Skytree is amazing and if you use the trains it’s very easy to get around. It’s in a nice quiet location, so you can go from the hustle of the tourist spots during the day to here at night. Staff are so helpful, beds are very comfortable and rooms are a good size for a Japanese hotel. Absolutely no complaints.

Excellent location. Right on top of Oshiage station with trains direct from and to Narita and Haneda. Right next to the SkyTree, a shopping mall, a supermarket, convenience stores, restaurants and a Kura Sushi in the same building as the hotel (unfortunately, I didn't like Kura Sushi) If you're coming from either airport take exit B3 as that exit has an elevator. During your stay take exit B3 if you're coming off of the Hanzomon line, do NOT take exit A1 if you're getting off the Hanzomon line. If you're coming off of the Asakusa line there are two ways to get to exit A1, the best way is to go to the very end of the platform and go down the stairs. If you go down the stairs in the middle of the platform you might as well take exit B3. The hotel was clean but the room was tiny, which I didn't mind as I was traveling solo and tiny rooms are normal in Japan. The breakfast buffet was ¥1500 (about $11 when I was there) and had a limited selection but was pretty good. When you first arrive in the room you have to use the television to select a "cleaning plan", the options were 1) Normal, 2) Ecology and 3) None. Unfortunately the instructions are all in Japanese so I used google translate on my phone to figure it out. I choose #2 which means they will give you new towels and take out trash. They will also do a normal cleaning every 3 days that you are there. I used to stay right across the street in the Richmond Premier hotel, but for some reason that hotel is now more expensive than it used to be, the Keisei Richmond Hotel at Oshiage is now my go to hotel when I travel to Tokyo.

Direct and close view to the beautiful Tokyo Skytree Tower from our hotel room. A terrace was available to better view the tower. Quick and easy access to the subway, shopping center, and a supermarket. Easy access to Narita International Airport via direct train line, as well as two subway lines. Hotel was next to an accessible subway/train station for carrying large luggage as elevators were available. Staff were helpful and willing to provide luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. I think this hotel is located most conveniently in Tokyo, especially for those with plentiful of luggage.

I love staying here! This was my second time. The location is great, right across the street from the Tokyo Skytree/Solamachi shopping center. The breakfast here is very good, the staff is really nice, and I love the Kura sushi restaurant in the same building. This time I also got to see the terrace, which has a beautiful view of the area. Can’t wait to stay here again.

The location is so convenient! The Oshiage station is less than 3mins away from hotel with three different metro lines making it easier to travel anywhere. The Skytree attraction and the mall are just opposite the hotel. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Reception staff are all approachable, friendly and able to communicate in english. There is coin laundry available as well.
