Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Via Inn was a mix of positives and negatives. The hotel is fairly clean, with friendly staff despite the language barrier, but the rooms are quite small and a bit cramped. It’s conveniently located near a subway stop and shopping areas, making it easy to explore the city. However, the lack of wardrobe space and some cleanliness issues are drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at Via Inn, which is well-located near a subway stop and close to shopping and entertainment areas. The hotel was clean and comfortable, though the room was quite small, which is typical for Japan. Staff was friendly and tried their best to communicate. However, there were some issues with room size and limited storage space, making it a bit cramped with luggage. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would consider returning despite the minor inconveniences.
