Each apartment has a bunk bed, and the river view ones look out over the Sumida, with Skytree and the aquarium close by.

An indoor amusement park for families, big enough to roam, with play for ages from babies up to about ten.

Every room is a two-bedroom suite, the biggest a 74-square-meter Japanese suite with doors to open or close and a concept suite with a projector for movies.

Local treats around the clock, a 13th-floor lounge looking out on Senso-ji and Skytree, a playroom, and neighborhood walks with the OMO Rangers.

Tatami-floored Moderate rooms you take your shoes off for, 42-square-meter Deluxe rooms on the 9th and 10th floors, and an amenity bar with extras for kids.

Apartment-style rooms that sleep up to five, each with its own washing machine, and game consoles kids can borrow.
