It's in a residential neighborhood and looks beautiful. Was formerly a Four Seasons. Has extensive gardens and apparently is popular for weddings.
Let’s put it this way. I wouldn’t try to compare Chinzanso with Comfort Hotel Kanda. Chinzanso was a garden and a mansion belonging to Japanese nobility. Comfort Hotel Kanda has rooms which are 13-16 square meters in size. This link gives you a virtual tour of one of the rooms.

Apart from the night of 8 April hotel availability in central Tokyo isn’t too bad, actually better than when I checked a few weeks ago.
