Via Inn Shinjuku
Staying at VIA INN Shinjuku for the first time was a refreshing experience—truly different from other chains I’ve tried in Japan. The room is small, but it truly lives up to the saying ‘small but perfectly formed.’ Everything was spotlessly clean, and toiletries are available at the front desk upon request—eco-friendly and convenient. Though the bathroom is compact, it has a bathtub, shower, and a smart toilet with all the essentials. The smart TV supports screen mirroring and comes with popular apps like YouTube and Netflix—perfect for relaxing after a long day. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and I really enjoyed the bath and hair products. The shampoo, in particular, didn’t leave my hair greasy afterward—it left it soft and smooth, especially when paired with the Panasonic hairdryer provided. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring authentic Japanese dishes that brought a cozy, local feel to the morning. But what stood out most was the staff—the Japanese front desk team were exceptionally friendly and attentive, some of the best service I’ve experienced anywhere. Located right in the heart of Shibuya, you’re just steps away from vibrant nightlife and easy access to subway lines—no need to worry about missing out on Tokyo’s electric energy. I’ll definitely be back.
VIA INN PRIME NIHONBASHI JR-West Group
Staying at VIA INN PRIME Nihonbashi Human-cho was a great experience overall. The location is excellent—just a short walk from Nihonbashi Station, making it super easy to get around Tokyo. I was able to reach major spots like Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Ueno in no time. There are plenty of small restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so dinner options were never an issue, and the area stays quiet at night, which made for a peaceful evening. The room isn’t huge, but it’s well laid out and spotlessly clean—really feels like a comfortable home base. One unexpected highlight? The view of Tokyo Skytree from the window. At night, when the lights come on, it’s just a little moment of joy that lifts your mood. The bed was very comfortable, and surprisingly good soundproofing kept noise from outside or neighboring rooms at bay—great for a solid night’s sleep. My only minor gripe was the check-out time at 10 AM, which felt a bit early if you’re rushing out in the morning. But the front desk handled everything quickly and efficiently, so it didn’t cause any hassle. Overall, this is a practical, reliable hotel with strong value for money. If I’m back in Tokyo, I’d definitely consider staying here again.

The room was larger than expected, with smart space planning—especially the bathroom, which felt spacious and well-designed without feeling cramped. Cleanliness was excellent throughout our stay; we never had any issues with pests or hygiene, which gave us peace of mind.
