LYURO Tokyo Kiyosumi by THE SHARE HOTEL — Hotel in Tokyo

I happened to stay on the hotel in early November 2019 to mid November, overall the place is nice and very quiet in the night, cooling in the afternoon to tea time period on the 2nd level deck to Kawaterrace to have their craft beer on the deck of where PITSMAN is.||||I first booked this hotel, taking the standard family room (26sqm) cause of the rate being super reasonable, especially for having a huge bathroom that comes with a shower and a bathtub, and both faces the Sumida River, which is an extra perk!||||I love waking up in the morning to the Sumida river and natural light! There is little eateries around the area that opens till late night, there is a 24-hr Denny's, nearest mini mart is about 5 to 10 minutes walk away along the stretch of apartments just before the petrol kiosk nearby. There are Lawsons, Family Mart and 7-11 about 10 - 15 minutes walk away, depending on which direction you decide to head from.||||The area is rather quiet in the day and night if you are walking from Kiyosumi-Shirakawa and Ninyoucho side. Suitengumae is a little more happening in the day to early evening timing due to the many quaint local speciality shops and hidden gem finds.||||Getting Around;||The bus terminal is about 20 minutes away, Tokyo City Air Terminal, the ride is about 1 hour with some buffer time to and from the airport terminals. 3 JR Lines, Kiyosumi-Shirakawa (Hanzomon Line), Ningyoucho (Hibiya Line), Suitengumae (Hanzomon Line), the walking distance is about the same, plus minus about 5 minutes more or so.||||The room is rather cramp after moving in the 2 luggage, especially if you were to carry a huge luggage (28") and to open it fully on the floor, so walking area will be more narrow.||||I like how they have a spray bottle of water and vodka to disinfect or take the smell off your clothes and whatever you spray on. TV channels also comes with Netflix, which we sadly only realise that in the last night there, PITSMAN closes rather early like about 1030PM to 11PM range. Food choice in the area is limited in the late night, so you'd have to travel out for it, or head down towards Ningyocho area for some food.||||Security of the hotel is limited to card access for the lift and after I think 12MN or 1130PM, for entering of premises (Lobby area). There is also no phone in the room, so you would have to use the shared ones that is at where the lift is located on the ledge by the window, just one small alcove there that is really impossible to miss.||||Easy enough to find place, great view, I would return for the view, to...

We stayed in a standard double at The Share Hotels Lyuro Tokyo Kiyosumi in late-November 2018. Unlike most Japanese hotel rooms around this price bracket, the bathroom is a highlight of the standard double: airy, light-filled, with a view of the Sumida River and the apartment/office buildings on the other bank. There's also a separate rain shower to a Japanese-style deep bath, which was a nice luxury after weeks of cramped showering over a bath!||||The room borrows light from the bathroom via a clear shower wall - this can be shut off with a wall door(?) when you need some privacy. The room feels very big but this may be due to built-in features and a lack of extra furniture (divan, desk, TV, bar fridge, and chairs) that you see in other hotel rooms. There is a small rack and basket for hanging up/storing clothes - quite standard for a hotel room in Japan. Room also comes with obligatory PJs and slippers. ||||The room and the rest of the hotel have sharp interior designs with a nod to the nautical; it was actually quite restful being surrounded by clean lines and an edgy aesthetic. The only design thing that bugged me was the venetian blinds along the shower wall...inside the shower...? ||||Staff at the desk were friendly and helpful and were good English-speakers but we did not interact with them much. Also, you will find a micro art gallery and some unique souvenirs for sale on either end of the reception desk. ||||There is a Western-style restaurant on the second-floor; it felt over-priced but I think this is the going rate for non-Japanese food. I'd recommend eating somewhere else before returning to the hotel as it is located in a very quiet street. There's some traditional sweet stores within 10-15 minutes walk of this location, including some that were reviewed in the Netflix series 'Kantaro, the Sweet-Toothed Salary Man'. :)||||Subway lines are a 10-15-min walk away. Kiyosumi-shirakawa station (station number Z11 or E14) will get you to Shibuya or the Skytree (via the Hanzomon Line) or Roppongi/Aoyama (via the Oedo Line). There is also access to the Asakusa Line and the Hibiya Line if you walk 15-20 minutes in the opposite direction to Ningyocho Station (station number H13 or A14). Keep in mind, your JR Rail Pass will not cover subway lines in Tokyo; you'll need a SUICA card or something like it for...
