THIS WAS A FABULOUS PLACE FOR ME TO STAY !!!!!!! !!!!!!! I REALLY ENJOYED MYSELF!!!!:0
THE PRICES ARE WONDERFUL AND OF COURSE THE PEOPLE WERE GREAT TO MEET ..SO MANY TRAVELERS FROM SO MANY PLACES ........................ .................................................... ..In the heart of Tokyo you will enjoy an inexpensive, cozy, and convenient stay at the Toukaisou Ryokan. ''''''''''''''located in Asakusa, the heart of the old downtown (***amachi) Tokyo, an area reminscent of traditional Japan, which is quite rare in modern-day Tokyo.

Unique Qualities: THE LOCATION WAS SO CONVIENT TO GET TO SO MANY PLACES.. FOR ONE ..THE LOCATION WAS ONLY TWO BLOCKS FROM A 24 HOURS SUPERMARKET.. .WHICH HAD super TASTY jAPANESE FOODS !!! AND AT GREAT PRICES !!! : )

Hey..
I also love Asakusa area. It is easy to access from almost anywhere in Tokyo by subway or JR trains. The place I stayed at was K's House. It's a newly opened (2006) big hostel and rooms are clean and a twin/double room is only around 3500yen. Always a good vibe there (stayed in K's House in Kyoto 3 times).

The hostel is close to Asakusa shrine which is a lovely place with markets where you can buy kimonos and other Japanese things. It is also illuminated at night and very beautiful.

If you dont want a hostel but a more traditional feel this is a link to a good ryokan also in Asakusa (a ryokan is a traditional japanese inn):

Have a good trip and enjoy your stay in Tokyo!!

Ps.. forgot to say that the hostel price is per person..

Take a look at the Asia Center of Japan (Asia Kaikan)
I was really pleased with this hotel. I have stayed in budget hotels in many countries. This one is probably the best that I have ever stayed at.
Friendly helpful staff, free amenities including bottled water, free yukata, a nice room...this hotel has it all.

It is less than 3 minutes walk to the metro.
3 stops from the busy, busy centre and that is against the traffic during [c]rush hours!!

Walking distance to Roppongi for entertainment in the evenings.
Good location, quiet.
Excellent buffet breakfasts featuring both European and Japanese dishes.
Internet available.
Provides free yukata for sleeping, toothbrush, toothpaste and all in addition to all of the regular amenities found in 4* hotels - and this is a 'Businessmans Hotel" (read budget hotel for Japan).
There is even a fridge full of bottled water, free to take for guests.

I won't attempt to identify "the best area to stay in Tokyo", because it will be different for each person. If, for example, you are looking for temples, then perhaps Asakusa is a good choice for you. If you like nightlife, then maybe Roppongi is best for you.

As for rooms, take a look at these two reasonably-priced hotel chains:
