A great location for this newly opened hotel in Sept of 2013.

Tokyo - Where One Could Stay
14-19Jan2014 continued in Hokkaido 19thJan-24thJan
Comfort Hotel Tokyo
Kiyosumi Shirakawa 1-6-12 Shirakawa, Koto, Tokyo 135-0021

 *pictured right is the humidifier provided.*
Depending on what your activities are and where they are centered around, this is a really great location regardless. The Hotle is located approximately in the center of major, to-go places like, Disney land/sea, Tsukiji, Akihabara, Ueno, Asakusa, and Tokyo main!

If this were a mixed development project, it'd run an incredibly high price. Family mart (a convenience store) is located on the hotel’s right while the JR and Tokyo Subway station, ‘Kiyosumishirakawa’, (Take Exit B1) is directly on its left.
*pictured from left Ramen store which is open till late, Cheap Chirashi Store, 24hr open cheap cooked food take-aways.*


Furthermore, a Ramen, Yakitori, sushi hole-in-the-wall joint (takeaway only) and a 24hr quick-eats take-aways were located all alongthe same street. Petrol station, if perchance you've rented a car, was seen further down the block. How are you gonna beat that?
*pictured cheap sushi beside hotel. ¥525 Churashi. Can't beat the pricing, and food was good too! Nothing felt soggy or limp and the flesh from scallops and seafood were sweet and a firm texture. Purchased at 2130hrs*


A relatively snug room, but with a little ingenuity in packing your things, one can comfortably fit two adults or one adult with a young child, no problems. Lots of complimentary toiletries are provided  and especially great to see a super-sized humidifier, already in the room. Fantastic for winter!

ABBA Details
- Complimentary Wifi for multiple devices in-room and lobby.
- Free Breakfast from 6:30-9:30am. A respectable spread to get you going for the early morning.
Cereals, breads, juices, fresh fruit, salads, soups, the works. With some Western options (scrambled eggs and bacon slices). Very slight variations from day to day.
